Carrier Utilization Strategy for Traffic Load Balancing in Mobile Radio Networks

Abstract—Ineffective deployment of carriers and sector load balancing are causing a significant poor carrier utilization in vendor markets. While identified performance carriers need to be retained, underutilized non-performance carriers need to be shut down and credited into the carrier bank. We propose a derived threshold for good carrier utilization and an empirical model that effectively describes a relationship between sector-carrier utilization and average sectors utilized in a market. Several millions of US dollars could be saved in capital and operational expenditure with implementation of proper guidelines and tools.
