Method for minimizing expenditures associated with optimized backhaul networks
First Claim
1. A method for determining an expenditure for a portion of a network, comprising:
- partitioning the portion of the network into at least one geographical region according to at least one partitioning parameter associated with each of a plurality of base stations located within the geographical region;
defining at least one cluster within each of the at least one region, the at least one cluster defined in a manner tending to maximize a base station density of each of the at least one cluster;
determining an aggregating node configuration associated with an aggregating node, the aggregating node configuration determined using the base station density of one of the at least one cluster associated with the aggregating node;
determining a deaggregating node configuration associated with a deaggregating node, the deaggregating node configuration determined using the aggregating node configuration; and
determining the expenditure using the base station density associated with each of the at least one cluster.

Abstract
The invention includes a method for determining an expenditure associated with a network. A method includes obtaining network information associated with a portion of a network, categorizing each of a respective plurality of cells as one of an aggregated cell and a non-aggregated cell, determining an aggregating node configuration for at least one aggregating node associated with at least one base station associated with an aggregated cell, determining a deaggregating node configuration for at least one deaggregating node associated with at least one of the at least one aggregating node, and determining the expenditure according to at least one of the aggregating node configuration and the deaggregating node configuration. The categorization of cells is performed using the network information.
