Designing the deployment of base stations
To plan for how base stations will be deployed:
1 Determine a naming convention for base stations.
2 Using a map of the area to be covered, define the zone names that will be used.
For example, an access provider can divide a metropolitan areas into North, South, East,
West, and Central zones. The network access provider then assigns base stations to a
specific zone by using the set system location command. Keep in mind that multiple base
stations may be assigned to the same zone. Zones allow the ISPs to differentiate services to
subscribers by allowing subscribers to operate in specific regions or clusters of zones.
3 On a map, mark each location where base stations are installed.
4 For each base station, document your design choices. Please note that some parameters are
optional, depending on how you design the system.
• Base station name (required)
• Zone name (required)
• Cell name (optional)
• Sector name (optional)
•Channel (required)
• Default VLAN for legacy CPEs (optional, default is 1)
• Management VLAN ID (optional; default ID is 1)
