Krein parameters of fiber-commutative coherent configurations

For fiber-commutative coherent configurations, we show that Krein parameters can be defined essentially uniquely. As a consequence, the general Krein condition reduces to positive semidefiniteness of finitely many matrices determined by the parameters of a coherent configuration. We mention its implications in the coherent configuration defined by a generalized quadrangle. We also simplify the absolute bound using the matrices of Krein parameters.
