GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION PROCESS FOR LINK ASSOCIATIONS

摘要

According to an aspect, a method comprises acquiring, by a network coordinator apparatus, measurement data indicating link conditions between the access nodes and terminal devices served by the access nodes of a cellular communication system. A network coordinator apparatus builds a globally optimized operating model on the basis of the measurement data by at least simulating a change in at least one association between the access nodes and the terminal devices. Based on the measurement data, an effect of the simulated change on overall performance of the cellular communication system is determined. Upon completing the building, the network coordinator apparatus transmits one or more handover instructions for handover of an association of one or more of the terminal devices according to the built operating model.
