METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING EQUIPMENT IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A base station (106) is provided that has a transceiver (202) that transmits and receives data. The transceiver is coupled to a controller (204). To configure the base station, the transceiver sends an identifier (210) that is associated with the base station together with information regarding the installation of the base station in the communication to the network to access parameters (306) from a database (304) for the base station. The parameters can be based on data known from the purchase of the base station, the location of the base station within the communication network and planning data for the communication network.
