NETWORK CONNECTIVITY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL OF MTN NETWORK IN NIGERIA.
Chapter one
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The world is rapidly becoming a global village, and communication, of which telecommunications is a critical component, is an essential instrument for this process.
Quantum progress in the telecommunications business around the world is extremely quick, with one breakthrough replacing another in a matter of weeks. A significant breakthrough is the wireless telephone system, which is available in either fixed wireless telephone lines or the Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM).
Communication is unquestionably an important economic driver. Emerging patterns in socioeconomic growth suggest that information and communication technology (ICT) is highly valued by households, organisations, and nations.
Nigeria is not left out in the fight for speedy development, as the country’s economy has suffered years of economic reversal due to mismanagement and poor leadership.
The Nigerian telecommunications market was poorly underdeveloped before being deregulated in 1992 by General Ibrahim Babangida’s military dictatorship, which established a regulating body, the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC).
So far, the NCC has given several licences to private telecoms operators. These include 7 fixed phone companies, who have activated 90,000 lines, and 35 Internet service providers, who have around 17,000 customers.
Several VSAT service providers are currently in operation, and they have improved financial intermediation by providing online banking services to the majority of Nigeria’s banks.
These licences enabled private telephone operators (PTOs) to deploy both fixed wireless telephone lines and analogue mobile phones. The return of democracy in 1999 prepared the door for the granting of GSM licences to three service providers:
MTN Nigeria, ECONET Wireless Nigeria (now known as ZAIN), and NITEL Plc (now known as ZOOM) in 2001, followed by GLO.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
It has been noted that calls over different networks are always difficult to connect, often redirected, and cost more. This leaves users perplexed about how much is removed from their call credits or pressured to use several GSM lines.
As the network grows, more users make calls across different networks, necessitating the recording of call time, call network, and line identification, as well as the ability to place calls across networks without experiencing significant congestion.
Calls must be sent between at least two places, A and B. As a result, the interconnectivity problem in Nigeria can easily be described as follows:
1. How can A and B, separated by thousands of kilometres in Nigeria, communicate without needing to subscribe to the same operator?
2. More importantly, how can we ensure multi-user resource allocation so that if A is the originating consumer, it makes no difference technologically (or financially) which of the other operators B subscribes to, nor what type of transmission he or she is sending?
3. Calls are transmitted without causing significant network congestion.
This will serve as the foundation for future project development.
1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The goal of this research is to construct a transparent set of Interconnection Rules, which must have at least the following conditions.
* Every operator must allow all other operators full interconnection to its network at technically feasible and convenient points of interconnection
so that traffic can originate on one network and terminate on another, or otherwise cross networks, without interference, signal degradation, delay, congestion, or restriction.
