ABSTRACT
The efficient task of network management which ensure proper monitoring and
controlling of certain network parameters to enable performance evaluation is a
primary concern of the services providers in global system of mobile
telecommunication. A sampled of Celtel network traffic data in Lagos area, indicating
subscriber’s demands and responses for a period of six months were collected and
studied. From the review of the network performance analysis presented and the
subsequent application of such vital component of these parameters, it was shown
that the mobile switching centres in Victoria Island exhibit low network performance
for first two months of the year 2006 and the situation became worst in the month of
March and April of the same year. However, considerable improvements were
recorded in the months of May and June. Relative improvements were also observed
in the Lagos main land and other areas. Essential parameters, including the grade of
service clearly indicated this. This is a clear case of congestion or fault. However,
those mobile switching centres located in the Main Island were fair and on the other
areas due to their present capacities have better performance.
