Method for self organizing network operation

摘要

The present invention relates to wireless cellular telecommunication networks and, in particular, to control and management of self organizing wireless cellular telecommunication network. A method for network planning and frequency optimization in LTE networks by determining the optimal base station configuration parameters, comprises a base station initialization, an initial base station configuration, an iterative measurement procedure, an optimization process, a verification of operation, and a periodical maintenance procedure.

主权项

1. A method of determining a set of preferred base station configuration parameters for a base station by a self-organizing network (SON) server, comprising:
receiving an indication from the base station; generating a plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters; sending the plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters to the base station; testing each of the plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters, comprising:
signaling the base station to broadcast a radio signal, wherein the base station is configured with the set of base station configuration parameters being tested;signaling one or more neighboring base stations to collect a set of measurements in response to the broadcasted radio signal; andreceiving the set of measurements from the one or more neighboring base stations; determining a preferred set of base station configuration parameters based on the sets of measurements; and transmitting the preferred set of base station configuration parameters to the base station.
