System and Method for Configuring a Communications Network

摘要

A method for partitioning a communications network includes selecting, by a controller, a starting communications controller for a first region in the communications network according to an interference level. The method also includes including, by the controller, a first neighboring communications controller in the first region if an average inter-cell interference level of the starting communications controller and the first neighboring communications controller exceeds a first threshold and closing the first region if the average inter-cell interference level of the starting communications controller and the first neighboring communications controller fails to exceed the first threshold. The method further includes storing information about the first region in a memory.

1. A method for setting an operating mode of a region, the method comprising:
identifying, by a network device, an interference classification of the region; setting, by the network device, the operating mode of the region according to the interference classification of the region, an inter-cell interference metric of the region, and an inter-region interference metric of the region; and providing, by the network device, the operating mode of the region to a device in the region.
