  • Publication number: 20160286405
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for determining a working mode, a network element, an Element Management System (EMS) and Network Management System (NMS). In the method, static importance of a base station or cell is determined according to static data of the base station or cell; dynamic importance of the base station or cell is determined according to dynamic data of the base station or cell; the working mode of the base station or cell is determined according to both the static importance and the dynamic importance. By virtue of the technical solution, the problem caused by the adoption of a dynamic mode or a static mode to determine the working mode of the base station or cell is solved, and the determination on the working mode of the base station or cell is more reliable and effective.

  • Publication number: 20080243580
    Abstract: Effective and efficient multi-vendor labor rate negotiations are supported by using a minimization algorithm to provide an optimized total cost of staffing allocation. Critical impact factors are also provided to identify specific labor categories or other vendor attributes that have the greatest impact on the total staffing allocation cost. By varying the elements identified by the critical impact factors and using the computer-implemented optimization algorithm, real-time changes are available to the vendors to assist in the negotiations of services contract agreements.
