摘要：
The deployment of the fourth generation of mobile network (4G) is going round the world, but with different speeds. When considering the Mediterranean area a big difference can be observed, where some countries has started the implementation of 4G, while other countries just started the call to bid for spectrum auctions. In this paper, we discuss the different factors pushing the mobile network operators to decide to invest in 4G infrastructure; by highlighting the challenges and the risks. Then, we model the migration procedure from 2G/3G/3G+ towards a mix infrastructure including the 4G and 4G-beyonds. We model the migration problem as a "shortest path problem" in the state-space. This consists in finding the optimal path, with minimal costs, between start state (current network state) and the target-state at the end of the migration time window. Finally, we focus on algorithms to be applied to solve this shortest-path approach of the migration.
