“…Some areas of this research have been well developed in the network planning field (technical network design with fixed demand matrices, for example, [18,19,36,57]); others have been explored from other disciplines [7,58,59]. A broad framework like this has not been found in literature (except in part in a high-level overview in [60]), however, so we felt it is timely to present to the research community for discussion and in hopes that it will move the network planning processes forward in a manner that will benefit carrier, network operators, and other stakeholders. By developing this framework, and focusing our work on a few key components that have not been well developed, the intent is to advance the effectiveness of network planning, especially in the dynamic environment we find ourselves today.…”

The design of large scale telecommunication networks is more than the technical allocation of capacity and path routing. By examining the design and allocation of resources in a broader sense, telecommunication network planning and management can better deliver value to the various stakeholders. This is significant especially when deploying networks in economically marginal areas such are rural, remote, or economically depressed regions. This paper presents a planning framework to systematically incorporate the influences, resources and decisions to effectively build or expand a network. Using a stake holders, input, process, output, customer approach, six key areas of society that derive value from better communication infrastructure in relatively unique manners were identified. These areas include healthcare, education, business, and others. The framework presented defines the inputs and outputs that accounts for the range of influences and outcomes in a network planning process. Inputs are broken down into four areas of concern (technical, market, financial, and application trends) that can influence how a network could be designed, along with four output areas (auxiliary activities, deployment strategies, technical design, and ownership and access). Through an extensive literature survey across many industries this framework was established to incorporate the many social economic and technical factors that influence telecommunication network planning and design.Keywords Network planning Á Survivable network planning Á Techno-economic planning Á Long range planning Á Network design Á Six sigma sipoc

“…Telecommunications network planning is more than the capacity of allocation and Internet/traffic routing [1] Studies show that most telecommunications network planning problems are associated with forecasting future Internet consumption [2]. Researchers suggest that such forecasts are important in ensuring that the planned network can meet rising Internet consumption [3] In this context, several studies have been dedicated to forecasting Internet consumption.…”

“…Considering the limitations discussed above, researchers claim that traditional models are unreliable to forecast phenomena embedded in complex contexts and that new models should represent such contexts in forecasting Internet consumption [1] by including variables such as, for example, the profile and number of Internet consumers [15]. Also, it must be considered that these variables, which represent the context of demand for connectivity and accessibility, correlate with economic factors that vary over time and space [16].…”

The growth of Internet services over the past few years has increased the importance of Internet consumption forecasting models in telecommunications network planning activity. Most of these models use historical data of variables that, when reduced in size, form context variables: economic, innovation, technology, and Internet supply. Although they include multiple context variables, the techniques employed in using these models are limited to the analysis of a single dependency relationship. Thus, these models fail to understand the interrelationships between context variables and their effects (direct and indirect) on Internet consumption. This research uses Partial-Least-Square Structural Equations Modeling to understand Internet consumption in Brazil between 2002 and 2017. The results show, for example, that the economic context produces direct effects in the context of innovations and indirect effects in the context of technologies and Internet consumption. These results contribute to increase the knowledge of the relationships between the context variables that influence Internet consumption, providing inputs for the development of more accurate forecasting models, thus contributing to the activity of telecommunications network planning.INDEX TERMS Structural equation modeling, internet consumption, telecommunications networks planning.
