 handovers initiated and successful Classifications for failures and reasons Time taken for handovers Service disruptions caused during handovers QoS monitoring of: Admitted bandwidths against actual provided bandwidths (how much of the ensured requests were processed successfully) Requests for downgrading or upgrading of bandwidths (how many users and services were needing updates) Maximum bandwidths allocated against actual usage (how many resources are being used per allocation) Servicing of users based on priority Gold class users (highest priority premium users) Silver class users (medium priority users) Bronze class users (lowest priority users) What Influences Network Roadmap Planning? In the preceding section, we briefly investigated network options that could play a role in evolving your network roadmaps. Also, we saw different deployment options that could determine how the roadmap gets solidified. Finally, we also saw aspects of usage models that need to be understood to visualize how the network roadmap can be analyzed and how different data points could be tracked in terms of performance indicators necessary to determine the current and future path of network roadmap evolution. CHAPTER 4 NETWORK ROADMAPS This section will explain the influences on the network roadmap from different perspectives. We will explain the impact on the roadmap from key stakeholders' perspective and how they may influence the roadmap. Also, we will also examine factors that influence the roadmap in terms of technology, usage, among others. Then we will discuss disruptive factors that need to be factored in to make sure that the roadmap does not suffer from materialization of such risks. Key Stakeholders for Roadmap Inputs The initial sections of this chapter discussed technology roadmap planning. From that you learned about the need for a technology roadmap, methods by which it can be evolved, and the different levels of visibility a roadmap could provide to satisfy expectations for different stakeholders.
