Network functional entity encoding method for telecommunication network, involves encoding paired regrouping of two network entities into single current functional entity based on regrouping relevance threshold and regrouping gain values

摘要

The method involves representing signal exchanges in the form of a modeling sequence diagram, where the signal exchanges are made between network functions. Each function is encoded according to a unary functional network entity. A calculation is performed repeatedly based on a scenario of a business relevance indicator for regrouping the functional entities into a same functional network entity. Paired regrouping of two functional network entities into a single current functional entity is encoded according to a regrouping relevance threshold value and a regrouping gain value. The regrouping gain value is equal to a relation of a value of the business relevance indicator of the paired regrouping of the network entities and the regrouping relevance threshold value. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a tool for modeling a telecommunication network and comprising a functional entity encoding module permitting the implementation of a network functional entity encoding method (2) a computer program product stored in a storage medium and executable by a computer or by a telecommunication network modeling tool.
