WE CLAIM:
1. A system (102) for assigning workflow approval paths in a radio access
network, the system (102) comprising:
5 a requester module (212) configured to receive at least one request
from at least one requesting entity;
a first load balancer (302) configured to select a service server from
a plurality of service servers (214a, 214b, 214c) for forwarding the received
at least one request, wherein the selection is based on server load
10 distribution parameters comprising current request volume per server,
server availability status, and predefined request handling thresholds;
the selected service server configured to process the received at least
one request and assign at least one workflow corresponding to the received
at least one request;
15 a second load balancer (304) configured to select a change engine
from a plurality of change engines (216a, 216b) and communicate the
assigned at least one workflow to the selected change engine for execution;
and
the selected change engine configured to:
20 execute the at least one workflow assigned to the selected
change engine; and
determine a status of the executed at least one workflow.
2. The system (102) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the requester module (212)
25 is further configured to receive a selection of an activity type and a project
type as part of the at least one request, wherein the activity type is a
categorization defining a specific network optimization action to be
performed, selected from a predefined set comprising antenna adjustment,
power optimization, and frequency retuning, wherein the project type is a
30 categorization defining a broader optimization objective, selected from a
46
predefined set comprising coverage improvement, capacity enhancement,
and interference reduction, and wherein the selection of the activity type and
the project type corresponds to a radio access network optimization task
assigned to the requesting entity.
