The new system reduced peak location registration signals by 65.3% and paging signals by 7.0% in a representative problem covering 333 base stations, three TA-Lists, and nine tracking areas, solving it in about five minutes. Unlike DOCOMO's first application, which focused solely on paging signals within tracking areas, this one balances the trade-off between location registration and paging signals across multiple tracking areas. Results are now part of DOCOMO's ongoing network planning and operations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The application reduced daily peak location registration signals by 65.3% and paging signals by 7.0%. In a representative problem covering 333 base stations, three TA-Lists, and nine tracking areas, it completed the optimization in about five minutes, with results now used in DOCOMO's network planning and day-to-day operations. _Follow daily.dev for real-world benchmarks on how quantum optimization performs in production telecom systems._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [D-Wave and AT&T Explore Quantum Computing Applications in Network Operations](https://daily.dev/posts/d-wave-and-at-t-explore-quantum-computing-applications-in-network-operations-v7zf0ufbc) · The Quantum Insider · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Quantum networks bring new precision to dark matter searches](https://daily.dev/posts/quantum-networks-bring-new-precision-to-dark-matter-searches-sgruze1lc) · Phys.org · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [01 Quantum and Hitachi Solutions Create Deploy PQC in DoMobile Ver.5](https://daily.dev/posts/01-quantum-and-hitachi-solutions-create-deploy-pqc-in-domobile-ver-5-2u66ssld2) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/ntt-docomo-deploys-second-d-wave-quantum-application-for-network-optimization-lwmqaqabm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"NTT DOCOMO Deploys Second D-Wave Quantum Application for Network Optimization","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ntt-docomo-deploys-second-d-wave-quantum-application-for-network-optimization-lwmqaqabm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ntt-docomo-deploys-second-d-wave-quantum-application-for-network-optimization-lwmqaqabm"},"datePublished":"2026-08-18T12:08:51.750Z","dateModified":"2026-08-18T12:25:01.211Z","description":"NTT DOCOMO has put a second D-Wave-powered quantum computing application into production, this time to optimize mobile network tracking area lists (TA-Lists)....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/c82d99c8c5b5ffa7b115b0d13f7c4ac0?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/c82d99c8c5b5ffa7b115b0d13f7c4ac0?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/ntt-docomo-deploys-second-d-wave-quantum-application-for-network-optimization-lwmqaqabm","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"NTT DOCOMO Deploys Second D-Wave Quantum Application for Network Optimization"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ntt-docomo-deploys-second-d-wave-quantum-application-for-network-optimization-lwmqaqabm#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What results did NTT DOCOMO get from its second D-Wave quantum computing application for network optimization?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The application reduced daily peak location registration signals by 65.3% and paging signals by 7.0%.
