Embodiment Construction

[0010] It should be understood at the outset that while an exemplary implementation of one embodiment of the present disclosure is described below, the system may be implemented using any number of techniques currently known or in existence. The disclosure is in no way limited to the exemplary implementations, drawings, and techniques described below, including the exemplary designs and implementations described and illustrated herein, but may be modified within the full scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0011] Disclosed herein are systems and methods for installing a BTS, ENB, or similar network access node in a substantially hands-free manner without the involvement of trained technicians. In particular, the contact-free method includes initiating a network connection between the access node and a network comprising a plurality of components, including a storage component or a server. Thus, the access node may obtain from said storage component or server ...

Abstract

Included is an access network comprising at least one access node, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server coupled to the access node, a network attached storage (NAS) coupled to the access node, a network element manager (NEM) coupled to the access node, and a common provisioning system (CPS) coupled to the access node, wherein the access node is configured for initial network connectivity and initial startup configuration in a substantially automated manner. Also included is a touchless installation method comprising initiating network connectivity for a base transceiver station (BTS) without manual operations, and initiating start-up configuration for the BTS without manual operations.

Description

Background technique [0001] In wireless cellular telecommunication systems, a transmitting and / or receiving system, such as a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), transmits signals through geographical areas called cells, which are determined by the radio range of the signals. Such systems are typically constructed in accordance with standards promulgated by established standards bodies such as the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and 3GPP2. More advanced network access standards such as 3GPP's Long Term Evolution (LTE) have recently been introduced to provide improved and / or new services. As is well understood in the field of telecommunications, the installation of existing and advanced networks involves complex manual installation steps by trained technicians or engineers on BTSs, also known for some systems as " Enhanced Node B (ENB)". Such steps may include connecting a personal computer (PC) to the device port of each BTS and launching a tool to set the BTS configur...
