Abstract

A networked computer system in a cellular communications network comprises a processor, a memory, and a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a local cluster list by identifying a plurality of cells that are relevant to a maintenance or optimization operation of a reference cell using at least one neighbor cell list, a centroid of the reference cell, radio network planning data, or usage data of the reference cell, the local cluster list including local cluster information for the plurality of cells that are relevant to the maintenance or optimization operation, and store the local cluster list in the memory.
