Abstract

Facilitating model-driven automated cell allocation in advanced networks (e.g., 5G and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise determining, by a system comprising a processor, a solution to an integer programming problem based on input data associated with a network inventory and configuration data for network devices of a group of network devices included in a communications network. Also, the method can comprise determining, by the system, respective cell identities and respective root sequence index assignments for the network devices. Further, the method can comprise implementing, by the system, a deployment of the respective cell identities and respective root sequence index assignments at the network devices.
