EFFECTIVENESS ESTIMATION OF CELLULAR NETWORK MODERNIZATION AND DEPLOYMENT PROJECTS
198 KB
The article is devoted to the problem of commercial effectiveness estimation for cellular network modernization and deployment projects. It describes the algorithm for calculating commercial effectiveness indicators and «input-output» indicators of the project. The algorithm is based on methods of investment analysis, so estimations of cash inflows (income) and outflows (costs) are needed. Most attention is paid to expenditure evaluation. Expenditures are calculated in two steps. At first, number of base stations is estimated from technical parameters of the equipment. This allows to calculate the quantitative composition of the equipment. Then expenditures are estimated. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of energy consumption. Energy consumption of base stations depends on many factors. The algorithm allows to estimate the influence of two the most important factors (climate and the load). So in the first stage structure changes of the network are taken in account and the influence of modern energy-saving technologies are estimated in the second. Proposed algorithm allows to get a quantitative evaluation of the results of the project and to trace their dependences on various factors, so it simplifies the most promising project selection. Keywords: investment analysis, energy effectiveness, cellular networks.
