Other Attributes - Enterprise Deployments
The following table shows some other attributes to consider for initial AP configuration.
Apart from the static neighbour lists, which are usually configured individually, any of these
can be in a general template for all APs or can be set individually.
.
Parameter Notes
Cell Parameter Selection
Method
(cellParameterSelectionMethod
)
Determines whether values for cell parameters such as UARFCN,
LAC, RAC, and CPICH TX Power are selected by Network Listen
(NWL) or are configured via the management system.
The default is configuration by the management system. In this
case, cell parameters should be determined through planning,
preferably informed by on site measurements. This is particularly
appropriate for the enterprise APs, nano3G E8 APs and nano3G
E16 APs and for nano3G S8 APs used in enterprise or SOHO
environments.
Neighbour List Population
(neighbourListPopulation)
This determines how the live neighbour list is populated. For
enterprise and SOHO deployments, the recommended setting is
STATIC_ONLY, which only uses neighbours entered in the static
neighbour lists, as determined by network planning.
Static neighbour lists, GSM and
UMTS
(staticGsmNeighbourList),
(staticUMTSNeighbourList_001
)
These are complex attribute that specify GSM (2G) and UMTS
(3G) neighbour candidates. It is recommended to enter these
directly in the NOS Client. However, if a similar list has already
been configured for a nearby AP, it may be advantageous to copy
this attribute from a configuration file saved from the nearby AP,
load this into the target AP and then make suitable adjustments
from the NOS Client.
See [OPM_300] for static neighbour list configuration
Note: In the static neighbour list, the list must be ordered by best
first to ensure optimal reselection and handover.
Neighbour PLMNs
(neighbourPlmns)
If specified, this restricts the networks that neighbouring cells can
belong to for populating the neighbour lists by specifying the
MCC/MNC values.
PLMNs To Sync With
(plmnsToSyncWith)
If specified, this restricts the networks that nearby cells can belong
to for frequency synchronisation by specifying the MCC/MNC
values.
PM Reporting URL
(reportingUrl)
For reporting performance measurements to the PMS on the NOS.
Diagnostic Reporting URL
(diagnosticReportingUrl)
Set the URL of the NOS Server diagnostics service. Replace
oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
reportingUrl (reportingUrl) Set the URL of the NOS Server measurement reporting service.
Replace oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
localTimeZone
(localTimeZone)
Set the timezone, in POSIX format, where the APs are located.
This assumes that all APs on the same AC are in the same
timezone, which is the most probable scenario. If APs are spread
across several timezones, this can be an AP-specific setting.
psHandoverEnabled
(psHandoverEnabled)
Whether or not PS RABs will handover between an AP and the
macro network. This is disabled (false) by default.
