LTE RAN OPTIMIZATION

Published on March 31, 2016

OPTIMIZATION

Optimization is carried out in the network to minimize the call drops and RF
interference in the network, to increase the indoor & outdoor coverage & better speech
quality. Optimization is of two types. They are

Physical Optimization

Parametric Optimization

Physical optimization can be used to

VSWR measurement

Changes in Orientation,Antenna Height, Mechanical Tilt, Electrical Tilt, Cable

Laying, Connectors and Joints.

Swapping Check

Installation of Repeaters.

Parametric Optimization can be used to

Neighbour List Updation

Redefine Handover

Fault Management

Alarm Management

Changes in Parameter Ranges

LTE RAN OPTIMIZATION

The LTE RAN Optimization process can be divided into the four procedures illustrated

conditions. 1 0

Retainability:Retainability KPIs are used to evaluate network capability to retain

services requested by a user for a desired duration once the user is connected to the
services. These counters can be calculated per cell or per cluster. The KPIs at the cluster
level can be calculated by aggregating all the cell counters. Retainability KPIs are
important in evaluating whether the system can maintain the service quality at certain
level.

Integrity: INTEGRITY KPIs indicate the E_UTRAN impacts on the service quality
provided to the end-user.The service integrity KPIs can be calculated per cell or per
cluster. The KPIs at the cluster level can be calculated by aggregating all the cell
counters.

Mobility: Mobility KPIs are used to evaluate the performance of E-UTRAN mobility,
which is critical to the customer experience. Several categories of mobility KPIs are
defined based on the following handover types: intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and
inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT).

Availability: Availability is the percentage of time that a cell is available. A cell is

available when the eNodeB can provide EPS bearer services. Availability can be
measured at the cell level for a variety of hardware/software faults.

Preparation:During the Preparations phase a consistency check is performed to ensure

the all parameter, neighbor definition and Scrambling Codes.Any errors corrected at this
stage will have a big impact on the subsequent optimization modules.Once the
preparations have been completed the Optimization modules can be performed. Each
module begins with Performance Measurements where the network statistics are
collected. The performance is measured using the relevant KPIs and if required a drive
test using TEMS Investigation or similar tool.

Retainability Module:In the Retainability module the handover performance

Integrity Module:The Integrity module deals with optimizing the network in terms of
Block Error Rate (BLER), throughput and RTT.
