Model for Techno-Economic Assessment of Access Technologies. Doctoral Dissertation for PhD, Telecommunications Engineering (EECS)

Abstract: This doctoral dissertation shows State of the Art of techno-economic modeling for access network technologies, presents the characteristics a universal techno-economic model should have, and shows a classification and analysis of techno-economic models in the literature based on such characteristics. In order to reduce the gap detected in the literature, the author defines and develops a Universal Techno-Economic Model called UTEM and the corresponding methodology to industrialize techno-economic assessment in multiple domains considering all market players perspectives, also suitable for technological consulting and currently available for all industry stakeholders under specific license of use.
