Role: Automation Design Engineer

 

Description:

 

AT&T Networks have extensive wireless networks for addressing the 4G access. This project involves extensive validation of the network elements procured from the various vendors and the services offered in the LTE Release 9 networks. The network elements include e Node B, MME, SGW, PGW, PCRF, and IMS to integrate the network and support the 4G services. The services like VoIP, Video Capture, Video Call, High rate data transfer will be tested using the tools like Spirent, IXIA, HPQC. Execution of the VoIP service tests through integration to the LTE and IMS core which is VOLTE solution.

 

Responsibilities              :

As an Automation Design Engineer performed the following tasks:

·         Review of System Requirements and understanding the basic call flows designed for LTE networks.

·         Environment Setup using eNodeB, SGW, PGW, MME and Cisco Router.

·         Worked on LTE core system interfaces and protocols such as S1-MME, S1-U,  S11, S5, GTPv2c, GTP-U, Diameter

 

·         Provide solutions for the design of automation integration framework of LTE network elements.

·         Developing and validation of automation framework integrating between tools

·         Developing and validation of automation test scripts designed for testing of LTE call flows

·         Designed framework for different mobility scenarios with various 4G handovers both in LTE and VoLTE environment using iTest tool

·         Involved in setting up the VOLTE services by integrating the VOIP, IMS, LTE networks using “Spirent Landslide” and “IXIA IxLoad”.

·         Designed framework for performance testing with validation different nodes.

 

Sonus Networks                                                               Bangalore, India                                                             12/09-03/12

Role: Automation Developer

 

Description:

 

The Sonus SGX represents the ISUP and TCAP Applications in the IP domain to the SS7 network under a single or multiple Point Codes.  The SGX is responsible for correctly delivering SS7 messages to and from those Applications.  It handles SS7 network management functions associated with MTP and SCCP on behalf of those Application Server. 

       The ISUP and TCAP Application Servers are running in the GSX and PSX.  An ISUP Application is configured to support call processing for multiple ranges of PSTN trunks that are represented by CIC values.  It registers with the SGX to receive ISUP messages for the circuits that are connected between a remote Point Code(s) and its local Point Code(s.)  A TCAP Applications is configured to support call processing for multiple ranges of TCAP users that are represented by SCCP SSN values.  It registers with the SGX to receive TCAP messages for the Subsystems at a remote Point Code(s) of IN/AIN network elements and databases. 

Responsibilities:

·         Integration of SGX, GSX, PSX elements.

·         Involved in the review of requirement analysis of framework design.

·         Design of automation test system.

·         Implementation and validation of automation scripts developed in PERL based on feature specific requirements.

·         Validation of performance of the system.

 

Alcatel Lucent                                                              Bangalore, India                                        09/06-11/09

Role: Software Developer

 

Description:

The Signaling Server currently supports only IPv4 for its SS7-IP link, M3UA, M2PA, SIP, Packet Export, SNMP and NTP IP interfaces. Through Dual IPv4/IPv6 Stack for SS7, SIP Interfaces feature the Signaling Server will have the capability to support both IPv4 and IPv6 for its SS7-IP links, M3UA, M2PA, SIP, Packet Export, SNMP and NTP interfaces. The user will be able to configure each of these interfaces as either IPv4 or IPv6.

The IP Link for QoS feature adds the capability of provisioning the Differential service value and using them on the IP header for the IP interfaces in the Signaling Server. It is used by the routers to determine how to route the IP packet.

Responsibilities:

·         Providing inputs to design

·         Implementation of IPv6 Addressing in ASP(Application Server Process)

·         Implementation of MMIs(Man Machine Interface) using C

·         Implementation of Stack for IP support using C.

·         Unit Testing

·         Fixing Change Requests

 

Awards and Recognitions:

Ø      “Customer Appreciation Award” from Sonus Networks for automation activities.

Ø      “Valuable Team Player” for contributions and mentoring the fellow teammates.
