nanoLTE AP Pre-Provisioning and Configuration Capturing Network Policies and AP Modes

3.1.4 Deployment Mode Parameters
These parameters reflect different AP use cases or modes of operation. These use-cases
are captured in a specific collection of parameters and associated values. After initial
provisioning in the NOS, apply suitable deployment mode templates to the required APs to
modify their configuration from the baseline. For example:
• AP group - typically for regionalising AP management
3.1.5 Mandatory AP Unique Parameters
Some parameters must be unique per AP, such as identities and descriptions. Most are
assigned during pre-provisioning but some parameters must be applied after an AP is
provisioned. For example:
• Cell Identity - assigned during pre-provisioning
• Location (latitude, longitude and radius of uncertainty) - assigned during
pre-provisioning
• Static neighbour list - assigned after an AP is provisioned (usually with the Static
Neighbour List wizard)
3.2 Customer Policies
Considerations that will affect parameter settings for AP provisioning include:
• AP Naming policies and Identities
• Decide on site naming and cell ID policies and associated file-naming
policies for uploads
• These are configured into “central” NOS parameters and per-AP parameters
• AP scenarios, operation and associated parameters
• Identify key use cases
• Define associated policies/settings, for example:
• Management interaction (inform interval, upload frequency)
• Power limits
• Synchronisation sources
As part of the Network Design, the above considerations should have been used when
capturing information in the CIQ (Customer Information Questionnaire). The CIQ is a data
fill that must be completed before beginning a new deployment. A brief overview of the CIQ
parameter groupings follows with the subsequent sub-sections containing detailed
parameter lists.
Note: It is assumed that the CIQ has already been completed and that all the required parameter
values are now known. This discussion is about how to use the parameters. Also, the
parameter groups affect template construction, as in section 6 and [INST_43380].
