System for optimizing a network plan and method of operation

摘要

A system is provided for optimizing a network plan. The system includes a memory which stores information specifying a network plan, a plurality of constraints, and a plurality of interaction coefficients. Each interaction coefficient corresponds to particular constraint. A processor is coupled to the memory. The processor is operable to determine whether the network plan violates any of the constraints, modify the network plan in order to resolve a violation of any constraint, and update a corresponding interaction coefficient in order to reflect an impact upon the network plan caused by the resolution of a violation.
