The statement represents a fundamental best practice in network engineering and telecommunications, which is directly applicable to the deployment and maintenance of Huawei 5G RAN systems. Labels, such as those for sites, cells, services, or logical ports, are critical for network management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and automation. Assigning labels based on a structured plan derived from customer and engineering requirements ensures consistency, clarity, and operational efficiency. Random or arbitrary labeling leads to a chaotic, unmanageable network that is difficult to scale and maintain.

The alternative, "False," is incorrect because it would imply that random labeling is an acceptable practice. This contradicts all established principles of network design and operations. An unstructured labeling scheme would make it nearly impossible to identify network elements, trace services, or apply automated configuration scripts, severely hampering network reliability and administration.

1. Official Vendor Documentation: In Huawei's network planning and configuration guides for 5G RAN

the principle of planned and systematic parameter configuration is a core theme. For instance

the process of creating a configuration script or plan involves defining parameters

including names and labels

according to the network design specifications

which are based on customer requirements.

" specifically the subsection on "Object Naming and Labeling Conventions." This section typically mandates that all identifiers and labels must follow the pre-defined network plan to ensure consistency across the network for simplified operations and maintenance (O&M).

2. University Courseware: Reputable computer science and engineering curricula emphasize the importance of systematic naming and labeling as a cornerstone of system design.

"The Power of Abstraction

" and Chapter 2

"The Naming Model." These chapters explain that assigning well-chosen names (labels) to resources is a fundamental method for managing complexity. A name should be meaningful and systematic

not random

to effectively identify and manage the resource it refers to. This principle is universally applicable

from software variables to network elements.

3. Peer-reviewed Academic Publications: Research in network management consistently highlights the need for standardized naming schemes to enable efficient and automated network operations.

"Management Information

" discusses the structure of Management Information Bases (MIBs). The Object Identifier (OID) system is a highly structured

non-random labeling system. The principles behind it—ensuring every managed object has a unique

identifiable

and systematic name—underscore why random labeling is antithetical to sound network management.
