Traffic Modeling of Overlaid Networks

An article comprising a computer program product having stored therein instructions that, if executed, result in:

• receiving traffic information associated with a first wireless network and a second wireless network, wherein the first wireless network is configured in accordance with a first wireless communications standard, and wherein the second wireless network is configured in accordance with a second wireless communications standard different than the first wireless communications standard;
• simulating behavior of the second wireless network in response to the traffic information;
• and
• simulating behavior of the first wireless network in response to the traffic information and in response to the simulated behavior of the second wireless network,
• wherein simulating behavior of the second wireless network includes estimating user migration from the second wireless network to the first wireless network.

A system comprising:

• a network management module configured to:
• receive traffic information associated with a first wireless network and a second wireless network, wherein the first wireless network is configured in accordance with a first wireless communications standard, and wherein the second wireless network is configured in accordance with a second wireless communications standard different than the first wireless communications standard;
• simulate behavior of the second wireless network in response to the traffic information;
• and
• simulate behavior of the first wireless network in response to the traffic information and in response to the simulated behavior of the second wireless network,
• wherein simulating behavior of the second wireless network includes estimating user migration from the second wireless network to the first wireless network.
