nanoLTE AP Pre-Provisioning and Configuration How to Implement Policies

8.2 Optional Network Listen Policies
Use Network Listen (NWL) to detect an AP’s neighbour lists and calibrate its master
frequency to the surrounding macro network. Use these policies to determine Network
Listen operates. It is recommended to embody these policies in a template, as in
[INST_43380].
For more information about Network Listen see [GST_43415].
8.2.1 Configure Network Listen Schedule
For example, to configure a weekly update in quiet hours:
• Set Device.Services.FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE.ScanPeriodically to True.
• Set Device.Services.FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE. PeriodicInterval to 604800 (i.e.
weekly scan is every 604800 seconds).
• Set Device.Services.FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE. PeriodicTime to
2015-01-25T02:00:00+05:00:00.(for example: the specified date is a Sunday, the
most typical quiet day; 02:00:00 means Network Listen scanning begins after 2AM;
+05:00:00 is timezone offset from UTC).
8.2.2 Configure Bands, PLMNs and EARFCNs to Scan
The LTE Bands, PLMNs and EARFCNs can be restricted for NWL scans. This may be
useful for reducing the scan time in areas with macro cells run by several different
operators.
To specify a list of Bands to scan, add the required Bands to:
• FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE.REMBandList
To specify a list of PLMNs to scan, add the PLMN IDs to:
• FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE.REMPLMNList
To specify a list of EARFCNs to scan, add the DL EARFCNs to:
• FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE.EUTRACarrierARFCNDLList
If a particular list is empty then the NWL scan is unrestricted in that respect.
8.2.3 Configure the Use of Network Listen for Frequency
Synchronisation
Since the AP is doing Network Listen, also tune the AP oscillator against the macro so it
remains in calibration indefinitely.
Specify the PLMN(s) to be used for frequency synchronisation by configuring the following:
• Device.Services.FAPService.{i}.REM.LTE.X_000295_PLMNListToSyncWith
Note: Cells will only be detected from the specified list of Scan Bands.
