3 3 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs the complexity of telecommunication networks

4 4 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs the access telecommunication network  What is a network? A collection of equipements and links that aims to enable the customer to reach any possible service she subscribes.  This is realized by means of a suitable architecture defines how to aggregate links and to organize nodes in order to reduce costs while providing a good quality of service.  The fixed network is very important with new technologies like optical fiber; the existing Copper network remains a major cost point  The access network is the part closest to the customer It is very sensitive to the demography & geography and exhibits two major levels of complexity

5 5 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs complexity in cable pathes  the acces network merges in civil engineering  equipements are inside or in front of buidings  cables ly under the pavement or follow the road system  huge number and a variety of equipments Approximate scale 100 m x 200 m

6 6 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs The morphology of the road system depends on the scale of analysis since it is designed for various purposes complexity of the underlying road system major cities width 12km inner city and suburbs Lyon towns width 9 km Amiens and transition to rural areas nationwide width 950 km motorways, national and some secondary roads

7 7 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs some challenges for the network operator  for cost reduction or global planning purposes in adequacy with the topography and population density.  to analyze large scale networks in a short time full reconstruction of realistic optimized networks is impossible, partial reconstruction is limited in size.  to use external public data as input to compensate for too voluminous databasis, that are not always complete nor reliable and often need dedicated software  to address rupture situations in technology and architecture by definition no databasis are available and extrapolation from actual situation may be dubious

8 8 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs first positive point even such complex systems as access networks can be described in a global way by simple and logical principles due to the underlying careful building.  they can be decomposed in 2 levels sub-networks connecting L(ow) nodes to H(igh) nodes  a serving zone is associated to each H node with respect to L nodes  the physical connexion L -> H is achieved according to a "shortest path" rule, which meaning depends on the technology

9 9 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs the interest to build a global vision  it is questionable to work on detailed analysis with the aim to deduce for the purpose of detailed reconstructions when possible are sometimes used to estimate global behaviour  allows to simplify the reality only keeping strcturing features  allows to turn the observed variability and complexity as an advantage –considering the network areas as a statistical set of realizations of a random network second positive point

10 10 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs the interest to "think stochastic geometry"

12 12 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs simplest network Fully described by 2 intensities the simplest 2 levels network as an example  L and H nodes location as independant Poisson point process in R 2, 2 intensities  logical connexion rule from L the nearest H euclidian distance defines the serving zone a Voronoï cell  the physical connexion follows the straight line  analytical global results for distributions of geometrical features –distances L -> H as Exp (intensity H) –action area characteristics : area, perimeter..

22 22 C. Gloaguen Stochastic geometry and networks MAS2010 Orange Labs why road models ?  a model captures the structurant features of the real data set –a "good" choice takes into account the history that created the observed data (ex PDT roads system between towns)  statistical characteristics of random models only depend on a few parameters –the real location of roads, crossings, parks is not reproduced …but the relevant (for our purpose) geometrical features of the road system are reproduced in a global way.  models allow to proceed with a mathematical analysis –final results take into account all possible realizations of the model –no simulation is required
