is optimization going to dead ?
Don't waste your time , change your job until you have time: are we close to finish ?
I would like to receive your opinion about the future of the optimization
I think that with the radio generation progress 1g,2g,3g,4g as you can observe the margin of human contribution is less important
For istance in 2g you have to plan for frequency plans, neighbours, handovers parameters tuning...
In 3g scrambling code planning is banal ....
In 4g probably no more neighbours planning will be necessary
You can analyze drive test, but in the future i think no more drive test will be necessary as much as now
With the advent of flexi nokia bts all the hardware is integrated, so no phisical unit distinct combiner , no phisical cu : no more necessity to discover faulty cu with technique like locking cu
The new hardware is just turn on and go without problems ....
In this period there is some work because we have swap projects all around, but after this ....?!
In country where operators will finish to install the new hardware I think that the big manager plan to fire a big portion of their workers, they don' t need more
Am I the bad cassandra ?
i don't want to be catastrophic, but this is my impression ,
I hope to be wrong, because i am involved in the optimization work
what do you think about ?

Re: is optimization going to dead ?
Hi Mr_Piongly.
Good discussion!!
Here my opinion:
New technologies and new mechanisms (e.g. SON) will help operators when integrating nodes, and also with a part of optimization in terms of neighbour cell definition for instance.
But, sites deployment never will be perfect, so I see optimizers always needed to do parametrization analysis (maybe drive test will be not needed anymore), although much lower resorces than we know nowdays.

Hi friend,
In 3G, traffic change (especially when the customer demands change), we need to optimize the networks.
And many things change we also need to change ourselfs!

Re: is optimization going to dead ?
you are absolutely right about your Opinion
The Optimizer should be open minded and accept learning other skills like Programming , Planning and dimensioning ... or any other skills close to the field of Telecom

You are right but here, in my opinion, not before 20 years.

Re: is optimization going to dead ?
what i think
after 4-5 yrs , 90% of networks will stop deploying new NE's, there will be only software upgrades, even by that time we will have batter antenna's ( possible to change direction remotely), so very less opti work required & only few planners will be required for a big network.
1. In future there will be only 15-20 % workforce will be required for RF of total what we have today.
2. There will be small requirements of optimization & for that operators will not need more then 4-5 yrs of exp person ( means they dont have to pay more).
3. Future is Wireless applications ( Mix of RF, IP, Product), so its batter to be allrounder.

In my opinion, transport planning and optimisation will be still required. And I cannot find now what tool can replace a human. On the other hand, it can be outsourced to other company or simply leased from a provider. Anyway, human must plan parameters, capacities and routes.

in my opinion, The SON, self integrated solution or whatever it is, also made by Human that still have possibility to have some erorr. So it still need our role to rectify any problem that can't be solved by them.
cheers..

Re: is optimization going to dead ?
In my opinion, I dont think so, because always will be needed a human been to install, sustain, fix, improve or use any tool (at least in the next decades). As another member said, we need to adapt and be prepared.
Another thing is that, at least the operators, are always short of resources... human resources!, and they always need people.
In the other hand, the networks are continuosly growing, and the more they grow, more people and optimization is needed, no matter if the main optimization tool is your hand and a pencil as 15 years ago, or Mapinfo as 10 or a SON, always need a human brain behind. Even with the rise of new technologies, the old GSM, for example, is still alive and need more and more optimization because the 2G traffic is stable or increased (at least in the networks that i work) and the resources decreasing.
I think that another thing to take care, maybe more that the fact if will be optimization jobs or not in the near future, is the rates! (that's right, I'm a damn mercenary
