SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RE-HOME SEQUENCING OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A system and method for rehome sequencing optimization of a telecommunications network. In a preferred embodiment, a practicable optimized rehome sequencing plan is determined for a rehome plan in order to migrate the network topology from an initial state to a final state while minimizing the costs incurred during the network state transitions across multiple time periods. Constraints that may be considered include specific market restrictions such as the limit on the number of network elements in a cluster, the limit on the number of clusters in a sequencing step, the limit on the number of sequencing steps, and the immobility limit on the network elements. Constraints also may include cost restrictions incurred during network transitions, such as individual cost limits during each network transition state and an overall cost limit of network transitions from the initial state to the final state.
