Abstract
A disclosed method may include (i) receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas, (ii) aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch, and (iii) executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas. Related systems and computer-readable mediums are further disclosed.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas;
- aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch;
- executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas;
- and
- detecting that executing the script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch failed to produce a response for at least two of the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands.
A method comprising:
- receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas, wherein the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands have the same command type that is one of:
- a command type to retrieve response information in bulk for all radio units within a set, a command type to retrieve response information in bulk for specific previous executions of commands, a command type to calibrate radio units in bulk, a command type to set antennas tilt orientation in bulk, a command type to set an antenna sector identifier in bulk, a command type to set a base station identifier in bulk, a command type to set an installation date in bulk, a command type to set an installer identifier in bulk, a command type to set a mechanical tilt in bulk, and a command type to set an antenna bearing in bulk, and wherein the command type accepts as inputs a configuration management system Internet Protocol address and a radio unit identifier;
- aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch;
- and
- executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas, wherein the command type further accepts as an input an identifier of a previous execution of a Remote Electrical Tilt related command or further accepts as input a port number, a HDLC address, and an antenna unit identifier.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one physical processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas;
- aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch;
- executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas;
- and
- detecting that executing the script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch failed to produce a response for at least two of the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one physical processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas;
- aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch;
- and
- executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas, wherein the command type further accepts as an input an identifier of a previous execution of a Remote Electrical Tilt related command or further accepts as an input a port number, an HDLC address, and an antenna unit identifier.
A system comprising:
- a radio unit;
- a configuration management system operable to adjust an antenna tilt at the radio unit;
- and
- a scripting application interfacing with the configuration management system, wherein the scripting application is configured to execute a method comprising:
- receiving multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands that are directed to different respective antennas;
- aggregating the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands together as a batch;
- executing a script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch such that the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands are applied to the different respective antennas;
- and
- detecting that executing the script to issue the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands as the batch failed to produce a response for at least two of the multiple Remote Electrical Tilt related commands.
