METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RESOURCE PROVISIONING AND PLANNING IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for resource planning in a communication network, the method comprising:
- generating one or more resource entities that represent resource requirements of one or more targeted services, respectively, wherein the resource entities are modeled from at least one of transport network dependent information and transport network independent information; and
determining whether the one or more resource entities can be supported by one or more transport networks.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for resource provisioning and planning in a communication network. In an aspect, a method includes generating resource entities that represent resource requirements of targeted services, wherein the resource entities are modeled from at least one of transport network (TN) dependent information and TN independent information, and determining whether the resource entities can be supported by one or more transport networks. An apparatus includes input logic to receive at least one of TN dependent information and TN independent information, and processing logic to generate resource entities that represent resource requirements of targeted services, wherein the resource entities are modeled from at least one of the TN dependent information and the TN independent information, and to determine whether the resource entities can be supported by one or more transport networks.
