Abstract

The current increment of the service portfolio for mobile communications and the related traffic load require an extension of the capacities in the mobile networks. As a consequence, mobile network operators have to replace part of the traditional equipment based on 2G GSM/GPRS by the 3G equipment based on UMTS and even start the path in direction to the 4G installing HSPA. This leads to techno-economical studies which require a corresponding service network model and its implementation in form of a computer support planning tool. This paper presents such a model and the structure and characteristics of the corresponding tool 2G/3G-Conncet. The paper also indicates corresponding applications.

Keywords: high-level Petri nets net components dynamic software architecture modeling agents software development approach
