The autoconfiguration and management features of the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) are powerful and have been extensively used by service providers and telecommunication services. The capability of the auto configuration server (ACS) in the CWMP technology is limited by its management structure, the maximum connection and the network bandwidth. Typically, these concerns are solved by adding more ACSs. Nevertheless, the ACS that has stronger management power is pricy too. On the other hand, the computing power of the CPE having lower costs is increasing rapidly. To utilise the benefits of this change, a new design by combining a sub-ACS concept with a dynamic adaptive multi-level grouping algorithm mechanism is created, that is to recalculate a healthy rate of the ACS while a new CPE is joining the system. If the healthy rate of the ACS is below the healthy criteria, a new group of CPEs and its corresponding sub-ACS are built. The newly formed sub-ACS responds to manage the new group. By leveraging the new model, the management capability of a CWMP system can be raised to 278%. Consequently, the infrastructure of establishing both the cost and the operation cost is reduced, yet the efficiencies of the entire remote management system can be improved. Introduction:The auto configuration server (ACS) in the current Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) technology has to manage multiple CPEs. To communicate with each CPE, the ACS has to establish an HTTP session one-by-one and to request/respond to each comment. Hence, if the total amount of CPEs exceeds the maxima that the ACS can manage, the extra CPE cannot create a session until any existing CPE quits its session. Moreover, since each CPE has its own independent session with the ACS, each request/response of data transactions occupies some amount of the network bandwidth.Therefore, this Letter [1] proposes a mechanism that enhances the management capacity in the CWMP technology. It is designed to create a dynamic grouping system and a sub-ACS concept. It dynamically generates the best grouping structure and promotes a qualified CPE into a sub-ACS. In addition, it may change the topology in the CWMP system. This Letter defines the group RPC methods to integrate communication parameters. As a result, this new design enhances the capacity of management of the CWMP, along with reducing the cost of the ACS and the entire network system.In the existing studies, some mechanisms [2-4] have been suggested to reduce the consumption of the network bandwidth. Nevertheless, none of them consider the sub-ACS or grouping concepts. In addition, although the concept of a sub-agent [5] is proposed, its proprietary data model cannot apply the CWMP technology. Jung and Reeves [6] implemented a grouping concept and mechanism. Since the design in this Letter dynamically groups CPEs that have the same data models, it can further improve the efficiency of the management capability.

Network Management Systems (NMSs) are the innovative products used by telecommunication companies to monitor, control, analyze and manage telecommunication networks. Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is a network element which facilitate wireless communication between user equipment and network. BTSs can be integrated with NMS and all related applications available in NMS can be used over BTS. One such application is software upgrade or downgrade in BTS which is termed here as BTS commissioning. This BTS commissioning process involves multiple steps to be performed for successful software upgrade or downgrade in BTS manually through NMS. In this paper methodology to implement end to end automation of BTS commissioning using python is discussed. GUI is developed using JavaScript, jQuery, Flask, Python, HTML and CSS. The reason for using Python for this website is because it is powerful, simple and has many libraries. Developed feature is tested by integrating a test BTS with Nokia's NMS named NetAct.
