%X Mobile operators currently prefer optimizing their radio networks via re-homing or cutting over the cell sites in 2Gor 3G networks. The core network, as the parental part of radio network, is inevitably impacted by the re-homing inradio domain. This paper introduces the cell site re-homing in radio network and analyzes its impact on theperformance of GSM/UMTS core network. The possible re-homing models are created and analyzed for corenetworks. The paper concludes that appropriate re-homing in radio domain, using correct algorithms, not onlyoptimizes the radio network but also helps improve the QoS of the core network and saves the carriers¡¯ OPEX andCAPEX on their core networks
