EXPERIENCE

Ericsson

2011 to present

IMS Solutions Integrator

. Successfully demonstrated audio & video conferencing system in an IMS

infrastructure by integrating the MRFP with the IMS core

. Initiated and achieved complete testing of IMS system that involved

different scenarios such as SIP Audio and Video calls, presence

information sharing, chat messages and Audio conferencing.

. Formulated the Operation and Maintenance verification specification

for the testing of an IMS solution. This involved testing the solution

for Performance and Fault management, Backup and restore of all nodes,

Software upgrades and security testing of all nodes.

. Ensured the security hardening of the IMS solution to ensure that the

IMS core deployed is meeting the desired security level

. Worked on Ericsson nodes like SBG,CSCF and MRS while installing of IMS

solution

. Successfully integrated Ericsson equipment with 3rd party PGW and PCRF

. Successfully demonstrated first video/audio VoLTE call in a stimulated

environment by integrating of EPC with Ericsson IMS core

TeleworX LLC

2010 to 2011

Reston, Virginia

RF test Engineer

. Accomplished field testing of Sprint Wimax network deployments in 11

markets in Texas, Georgia, Washington, Utah and Missouri. Tested Key

performance Indictors -KPI's such as CINR, RSSI, RTT and throughput of

Sprint Wimax network by using XCAL-X drive testing tool.

. Conducted RF chamber testing of Sprint Wimax devices at Sprint labs.

Tested for UDP, TCP and FTP throughput of these devices. Test carried

out on Radio Access Network (RAN) of BTS vendor Huawei.

. Performed services testing of Sprint devices to check for network

entry involving authorization and authentication, Inter sector and

Inter BTS handovers and resolved performance issues relating to

devices.

Reliance Communications

2008 to 2009

Dhirubai Ambani Knowledge City Mumbai, India

Performance Management Engineer-Switch (Network Operations Center)

. Analyzed the call data reports (CDR), monitored status of the AXE-10

switches and took SS7 call traces by remotely logging into the

switches from the network operations center (NOC) location.

. Operation and Maintenance of Lucent- Next Generation Networks which

involved issue resolution related routing, traffic management, call

failure analysis and call quality over reliance VoIP network by

remotely logging into the media gateway controllers using network

management software, PLEXVIEW.

. Examined the routing and studied the call data reports of media

gateway controllers. Analysis was formally submitted to the business

team to mitigate call traffic and revenue related issues with

operators whose voice traffic was being routed through reliance VoIP

network.

Feb-2008 Mumbai University, India

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Department of Telecommunications University of Maryland, College Park, MD

Dec-2009 to

May-2010

. Successfully planned stage wise deployment of mobile network in

Washington, D.C area using RF planning tool MaxPlan. Analyzed the

coverage and interference caused by the deployment and inspected the

microwave links to be relocated due to deployment using Poseidon tool.

. Drive tested the T-mobile GSM network in and around College park

Maryland using test software PROSCOUT. Observed the call setup and

call handoff. Identified areas of poor coverage and determined reasons

for call failure, handoff failure and high bit error rates by

examining the frequency plan and base station parameters like neighbor

list.

. Configured CISCO routers and switches using RIP, EIGRP and OSPF

routing protocols in a simulated environment. Observed the performance

of the three protocols with respect to routing of packets.

software Visiwave and observed common interferences to WLAN

performance like microwave ovens, Bluetooth and Ad hoc networks using

software Channelizer Pro.

. Gave a technical presentation on DAS-Distributed Antenna Systems.

. Presented a scholarly paper on the RADIUS protocol and its

implementation in Wimax
