Automatic FLP - Frequency Load Planning

Automatic FLP will enable operators to run Frequency Load Planning (FLP) networks, including Synchronized Radio Networks, with minimum effort and maximum performance. The feature performs daily downlink interference matrix measurements and creates synchronization clusters for synchronization status monitoring. FLP parameters are continuously supervised and automatically adjusted to network changes when needed due to for instance lost synchronization, addition of TRX HW, or changes in hopping frequency sets. The parameters that are put under direct BSC control by Automatic FLP activation are, HSN, FNOFFSET, MAIOs, TSC and FSOFFSET.

By using Automatic FLP an operator will get the following benefits:

·         Maximum capacity gain from FLP (best parameter configuration always used. Parameter settings can be kept continuously optimized)

·         Maximizes performance in all types of FLP networks (for example lower drop call rate, better speech quality)

·         Reduced O&M cost for FLP networks (Ease of use). Parameter settings will be optimized made without user intervention.

·         Necessary parameter changes in response to unplanned network changes can be very fast

·         Possibility to monitor synchronization status for each cell. Enables immediate FLP reconfiguration after loss of synchronization.
