AUTOMATIC NETWORK NODE RELAY LINK CONFIGURATION TOOL

摘要

The implementation of the relay configuration tool may lead to the rapid deployment of relay links between network nodes. The tool may receive identification information of a donor network node that provides backhaul access to a core network, as well as identification information of a remote network node that is to use the backhaul. The tool may further obtain node information on the donor network node and the remote network node from a node information database based on the identification information. The tool may additionally receive link specifications for a relay link to be established between the network nodes. Accordingly, the tool may determine the communication frequencies and a power level for the relay link based at least on the node information and the link specifications. The communication frequencies and the power level, along with other configuration parameters, may be used by the tool to establish the relay link.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
receiving identification information of a donor network node that provides backhaul access to a core network of a wireless communication carrier; receiving identification information of a remote network node that is to use the backhaul access provided by the donor network node; obtaining node information on the donor network node and the remote network node from a node information database based at least on the identification information of the donor network node and the remote network node, the node information for a network node including at least one of network node site information, a network node address, a virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier, Internet protocol (IP) address, a subnet mask, a gateway IP, an indoor unit (IDU) count, or any other VLAN identifiers; receiving link specifications for a relay link to be established between the donor network node and the remote network node; and determining communication frequencies and a power level for the relay link based at least on the node information and the link specifications.
