Controlling vertex, when for base station selected mode of operation, follows following principle:

One, select in the mode of operation that mode of operation can only be supported in base station.

Two, the actual physics situation that base station back haul link (backhaul) configures is considered.Such as: wired or wireless, if wired, be optical fiber, arbitrary data subscribers feeder (DigitalSubscriberLine, xDSL), or other.Under normal circumstances, more bottom forwarding need backhaul configured bandwidth more long time delay is less, namely L1 forward mode needs the backhaul configuration had compared with large bandwidth and harsher time delay to support, and the backhaul configuration feature that L3 forward mode needs is just relatively loose, L2 forward mode occupy between the two.Wireless backhaul configuration is due to Bandwidth-Constrained and time delay is longer, is therefore not suitable for selecting L1 forward mode, and carries out work owing to controlling the dumb base station being also not suitable for doing non-compatible pattern, need to select in other patterns; In general point-to-point optical fiber backhaul configures because bandwidth sum time delay is all more satisfactory, be applicable to very much doing coordinating fast, and meet the condition of L1 forward mode, therefore there is the base station that this backhaul configures, substantially all mode of operations can be selected, but optical fiber backhaul configures just hardware configuration, normal conditions are when needs switch, router or gateway processes, the actual transmission bandwidth of backhaul configuration is also subject to the restriction of switch, router or gateway processes speed, can not reach the transmission rate of physics limit.Such as: the physical transmission rate of optical fiber may be 10Gbps, but is subject to the restriction of switching equipment, and the transmission rate giving this link may only have 10Mbps, the actual transfer rate that so this backhaul configures just only has 10Mbps.Therefore need the physical characteristic and the Resourse Distribute characteristic that consider backhaul configuration, consider model selection using the less numerical value of the two as backhaul configuration feature.

Three, be connected with base station, be responsible for the node of process base station data, whether its processing load allows the access of new base station.Such as: if base station needs to be operated in L1 forward mode, then need a upper level node and business data processing is become L1 data, the support of this process need processor, when this pattern is all selected in numerous base station, likely the disposal ability of this node can arrive the upper limit, to such an extent as to new base station can not be received to add.
