Principal Mobile Core Network Consultant, MSS Core Network Design:
T-Mobile UK turn-key MSS 4.1 project based in Hatfield, TMUK HQ. The very first build-out of MSS network in the UK, containing12 MSC-Server nodes and 31 M-MGw nodes over the IP backbone. MSC-Servers are with APZ 21250, while M-MGw nodes are of BC 3003, 3004 and 3024. The activities performed were as follows:
• AXE and Application Parameters settings for the first T-Mobile UK MSS 4.1 reference dump, that is, features activation and the associated parameters for which MGLA and MGLS documents are created.
• Produced and delivered MGw Selection LLD for T-Mobile UK MSS network. It is a MSC-Server feature controlling MGw nodes to make an optimal MGw selection for a given traffic case. All protocols in the mobile telecommunications network are impacted by this feature, including GCP (H.248), RANAP/BSSAP, ISUP, BICC.
• Produced and delivered Site Solutions LLD for the sites across T-Mobile UK MSS 4.1 network.
