Other Attributes - Residential Deployments
The following table shows some other attributes to consider for initial AP configuration.
Apart from the static neighbour lists, which are usually configured individually, any of these
can be in a general template for all APs or can be set individually.
Parameter Notes
Neighbour List Population
(neighbourListPopulation)
This determines how the live neighbour list is populated. For
residential deployments, the recommended setting is
MERGE_STSTIC_AND_DETECTED, so that neighbours can be
determined by Network Listen as well as network planning.
Static neighbour lists, GSM and
UMTS
(staticGsmNeighbourList),
(staticUMTSNeighbourList_001
)
This is generally not needed for residential deployments. Where
APs use Network Listen (NWL) to detect neighbours. However
there may be some cases where it is necessary to configure some
static neighbours.
See [OPM_300] for static neighbour list configuration
Note: In the static neighbour list, the list must be ordered by "best
first" to ensure optimal reselection and handover.
Neighbour PLMNs
(neighbourPlmns)
If specified, this restricts the networks that neighbouring cells can
belong to for populating the neighbour lists by specifying the
MCC/MNC values.
PLMNs To Sync With
(plmnsToSyncWith)
If specified, this restricts the networks that nearby cells can belong
to for frequency synchronisation by specifying the MCC/MNC
values.
PM Reporting URL
(reportingUrl)
For reporting performance measurements to the PMS on the NOS.
Diagnostic Reporting URL
(diagnosticReportingUrl)
Set the URL of the NOS Server diagnostics service. Replace
oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
reportingUrl (reportingUrl) Set the URL of the NOS Server measurement reporting service.
Replace oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
localTimeZone
(localTimeZone)
Set the timezone, in POSIX format, where the APs are located.
This assumes that all APs on the same AC are in the same
timezone, which is the most probable scenario. If APs are spread
across several timezones, this can be an AP-specific setting.
psHandoverEnabled
(psHandoverEnabled)
This is disabled (false) by default. This is the normal setting for
residential deployments.
Oscillator Synchronisation
Timeout
(oscillatorSynchronisationTime
out)
The number of days an AP can go without resynchronisation
before it raises the relevant alarm.
Closed Access vs Open
Access
See section 2.2.6.
Access Control List
(accessControlList)
Entries in the Access Control List are only needed if an AP is
configured for Closed Access. The Access Control List is a white
list of IMSIs that are allowed to use the AP.
Each entry in the Access Control List also has an option to allow
hand-in from the macro network. A UE that is on the white list for
multiple APs can only be Allowed to do this on one AP.
