Divide the network into clusters and there are no more than 19

BTS for one cluster. Overlap is needed between the neighbor

clusters.
Cluster division should be according to the practice which is
usually based on the terrain and clutter or the existing problems
during the assessment stage. The area that has special
requirement for data or voice service is recommended to be
divided into one cluster.
The optimization for different clusters can be done at the same or
different time according to the resource and time needed.

maintenance optimization

nR
eg

is

Maintenance optimization is an indispensable part of

CDMA network optimization. It plays an key role in long
stable system running.
Maintenance optimization aims at finding equipment
problems, discovering and solving network problems,
locating resource utilization rate problems.
The maintenance is to collect performance data of
running network termly, analyze the data timely and
therefore monitor network real-time running status and
handle existing and latent problems timely to guarantee
the normal running of the network.
