Abstract:
A method for assessing an impact of a design choice on a system level performance metric of a radio access network (RAN) deployed in an environment includes receiving messages from a plurality of UEs over time by a plurality of RNs in the RAN. A design choice is selected for a set of operating parameters of the RAN. One or more of measurement values in each of the received messages and the selected design choice are processed to compute a set of derivatives. A system level performance metric is determined as a function of the computed set of derivatives.

Abstract:
A method is shown for allocating a plurality of channels to a plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in a radio access network (RAN). In accordance with the method, an initial RN is selected from among the plurality of RNs. A first of the plurality of channels is assigned to the initial RN. The first channel is selected such that external interference experienced by the initial RN from sources other than the RAN on the first channel is minimized. A second RN is selected from among the plurality of RNs. A second of the plurality of channels is assigned to the second RN. The second channel is selected such that a metric reflective of an information carrying capacity of the RNs that have already been assigned one of the plurality of channels is maximized. The assigned channels are allocated to the respective RNs to which they have been assigned.
