OPTIMIZATION OF CONSOLIDATING ENTITIES

摘要

A system and method for homogeneously merging locations in a telecommunications network including: calculating a first characteristic of a carrier at a first location and a second location; determining a penalty for excluding the carrier based in part on the first characteristic; comparing the a penalty determined to a preselected value; and, if the penalty is less than the preselected value, merging the first location and the second location, thereby forming a merged location.

1. A method for merging locations, the method comprising:
calculating at least one first characteristic of at least one carrier at: at least one first location and at least one second location; determining at least one penalty for excluding the at least one carrier based at least in part on the at least one first characteristic; comparing the at least one penalty to at least one preselected value; and merging the at least one first location and the at least one second location if the at least one penalty is less than the at least one preselected value, thereby forming at least one first merged location.
