What Actions Change the Complex Profile?
When Are Complex Profile Changes Broadcast to Cells? A copy of
the complex profile is stored in each cell’s memory. The GSP updates the
cells’ copies of the profile under the following circumstances:
• If the stable complex configuration information (Group A) has
changed:
❏ If no cell’s partition assignment has changed, the changes are
broadcast immediately.
❏ If only inactive cells’ assignments have been changed, the changes
are broadcast immediately.
❏ If an active cell’s partition assignment has changed, the changes
are broadcast once the cell is inactive (that is, no cells will receive
the new information until the affected cell is inactive).
