Abstract
Telecommunication operators endeavour to offer their users numerous services and, at the same time, to be competitive with other operators at the market while accomplishing high revenue. The only way to achieve all those goals is to make better usage of their network resources and realise high network efficiency. In this paper, we tested the assumption that a proper combination of the different dynamic telecommunication traffic routing methods and interconnection charging methods can provide higher operators revenue. In order to analyze the effects of combinations of four different routing and two interconnection charging methods on operator's revenue, we developed new software for simulation of network operations. This software is used for simulation of the three interconnected networks operators. Results considering the dependence of operator's revenue on routing and interconnection charging methods combination are analyzed and discussed.

Network optimization has always been a core problem domain in telecommunications engineering and management, as well as in operations research, computer science, applied mathematics, and many other fields of engineering and management.In order to assure a satisfactory level of network performance, telecommunication operator needs to apply a robust and fast network management
In order to analyze the effects of combinations of four different routing and two interconnection charging methods on operator’s revenue, we developed new software for simulation of network operations
One of the possible ways to achieve that is the application of dynamic routing of telecommunication traffic
Summary
Network optimization has always been a core problem domain in telecommunications engineering and management, as well as in operations research, computer science, applied mathematics, and many other fields of engineering and management. The competition in telecommunication market induces them to achieve network efficiency and to optimize the use of their network resources Otherwise, they will not have adequate revenue that allows them to invest in infrastructure, which enables them to offer all the services their users request. The goal of the research presented in this paper is to verify our hypothesis that properly selected combination of the interconnection charging and dynamic telecommunications traffic routing methods can significantly affect the optimization of network resources usage, and result in increasing of the operator’s revenue. Appropriately chosen dynamic traffic routing method allows better use of available resources and substantial savings in network investment costs can be achieved.
