Abstract

System(s) and method(s) for network resource optimization in a service area of a communication network are described. The method includes dividing a service area into a plurality of sub-areas, where each of the plurality of sub-areas is serviced by at least one network resource from a pre-determined number of network resources. The method further includes determining a locally optimal deployment solution comprising at least one local allocation attribute for the at least one network resource in each of the plurality of sub-areas, to meet a plurality of objectives for network resource optimization. The method further includes obtaining a globally optimal deployment solution comprising at least one global allocation attribute for allocation of the pre-determined number of network resources in the service area, based on the locally optimal deployment solution to meet the plurality of objectives.
