Abstract
Processes and systems for automatically configuring small cells, microcells, picocells, and femtocells for deployment in a cellular network are described herein. The system uses an orchestrator in an Orchestration Platform to direct the generation of the configuration for network assets to be deployed. The Orchestration Platform interacts with components to generate the data and parameters necessary for the configuration. The Orchestration Platform directs system components to generate the configuration, validate the configuration, execute the configuration, and download the configuration. The processes and systems include a database to maintain the state of a system instance during the configuration process, allowing an orchestrator to start, suspend, abort, or restart its workflow process at any time without the loss of any work.
