Bilateral Contracts with Industry

CRE with Orange

Two year contract titled Taking into account the “massive MIMO” in the assessment of QoS and the dimensioning of 5G cellular networks between Inria and Orange Labs started 2018. It is a part of a long-term collaboration between TREC/DYOGENE, represented by B. Błaszczyszyn and Orange Labs, represented by M. K. Karray on the development of analytic tools and methods allowing one to capture macroscopic relation between antennas roll-out, frequency allocation, volume of traffic carried on the network and quality of service parameters such as the average and the variation of bandwidth available to end users. This work addresses crucial technical and economical issues related to the operator core business, particularly related to the current evolution of the cellular network technology (4G$\Rightarrow$5G). The developed solutions are implemented by Orange Labs in the internal toolbox CapRadio (see 6.1.1) and used by the Direction of Regulatory Affairs of Orange.
