Application of the full consistency method (FUCOM) - Cosine similarity framework in 5G infrastructure investment...

In the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, the shift towards advanced communication technologies marks a critical milestone. This transition promises to revolutionize connectivity by enabling seamless data downloads, high-quality video streaming, and instant access to applications. However, adapting to these advanced technologies poses significant challenges for infrastructure expansion, requiring innovative investment and deployment strategies. These strategies aim not only to enhance service quality but also to ensure extensive network coverage. To address the need for systematic planning in infrastructure investment, this paper presents a novel methodology that combines the Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) with cosine similarity analysis. This integrated approach effectively prioritizes service areas for the deployment of 5G technology, emphasizing the importance of detailed planning in mobile strategy development. By leveraging FUCOM to determine the weights of various criteria and employing cosine similarity analysis to rank service areas, the methodology facilitates efficient resource allocation and service quality enhancements. Empirical validation using real data from a Turkish telecommunications company confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results indicate that this integrated approach can significantly advance the telecommunications industry by providing essential insights for companies seeking to improve service quality amidst the transition to 5G and beyond. The successful implementation of the proposed algorithm demonstrates its effectiveness in addressing the challenges faced by telecommunications companies and underscores the importance of a data-driven approach in strategic decision-making and resource allocation. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the integrated FUCOM and cosine similarity analysis approach can offer a valuable tool for telecommunications companies worldwide, offering a systematic method for prioritizing infrastructure investments and enhancing network performance.
