4.3.3 (08877 - Continuous coverage self-optimization based on FEATURE DESCRIPTION The Small Cell supports a number of self optimisation functions to permit their deployment by end users without network planning by the operetor. In particular, the Small Cell power is determined to optimise coverage for the Small cell private users, ive. those users in the ACL (Access Contral List). This feature provides additional controls to permit the Small Cell coverage tuning to take account of any local impact on the macro network, Effectively, if the Small Cell AP has been placed in a nen optimum pasition such as near a window over looking the street the Small Cell may attract numbers of public users who are rejected as they are not inthe ACL. This will have the following impacts: + EF Small cell and Macro networks share a carrier, the Small cell may interfere with the macro coverage, This CPICH leakage may result in macro coverage hol I-Lecent 9360 Small Call Feature Manning Guide BCRE.O -Lucesr propriety and enificaness.

The magnitude of this depends on UE behaviour on returning to the macro network after a LAU/RAU update procedure with the ‘Smal cell. This feature introduces additional Small cell coverage optimisation that attempts to limit these effects on the macro network by permitting the Small Cell AP to reduce its pilot power (CPICH power), IF necessary the gilot power may be reduced below the existing auto-configured minimum. In onder to assess macro impact the Small cell monitors registation and mobility events. It uses these statistics as input to algorithms used to increase or decrease the cell's pilot power, adjusting the cells coverage to minimise the impact upon macro service. The Small cell will provide a user indication via LEDs whilst the Small Cell CPICH power is reduced below the walue set by autc-configuration, The purpose of this is to indicate to the end user that, iF possible, it may be advantageous to relocate the Small Cell AP to 2 central position in the user's property and away from public areas. FEATURE BENEFITS: For co-channel deployments the benefits comprise reduced interference and hence macro network coverage holes avoidance in closed mode, For shared and separate channel desloyments, reduced signalling load as a result of fewer public UEs attempting mobility procedures with Small cells in closed mode, IMPACTED SYSTEMS Small Cell AP, SCMS
