Chapter 1
Preparation Work
Self-Organizing Network (SON) management enables the system to automatically detect
and solve network problems in accordance with the configured policies. This ensures that
the network can operate in the optimal status in unattended mode.
SON provides the following features: Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) optimization,
Physical Cell Identity (PCI) optimization, Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO), RO
optimization, MLB optimization, ES optimization, self-healing, X2 connection setup, Plug
and Play (PnP), and CoMP self-configuration. The actually available features depend on
the on-site situation.
The procedures for deploying Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex
(TDD) eNodeBs are the same. This manual assumes that FDD eNodeBs are to be
deployed.
Table of Contents
Basic Concepts ..........................................................................................................1-1

1.1 Basic Concepts


ANR Optimization
The Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) policy is used to establish neighbor relations
automatically. From the measurement reports submitted by User Equipment (UEs) to the
Evolved NodeB (eNodeB), the SON discovers unknown neighbor cells. The local eNodeB
obtains the information about these unknown neighbor cells from the eNodeBs where these
neighbor cells are located, and triggers neighbor cell relation setup.
Neighbor cell relations can be established in controlled and free modes.
After the number of co-frequency neighbor cells of an eNodeB reaches the threshold,
the flow for adding neighbor cells triggers that for deleting neighbor cells. After a certain
number of neighbor cells are deleted, new neighbor cells can be added.
The ANR policy supports the following functions:
l Automatically discovers neighbor cells and maintains the integrity and validity of the
neighbor relation table, thus reducing call drop rate and improving handover success
rate.
l Reduces the operation cost by reducing the expense on network planning and
optimization personnel.

SJ-20150616154618-017|2015-07-03 (R1.0) ZTE Proprietary and Confidential


NetNumen U31 R18 Operation Guide for SON

PCI Optimization
A Physical Cell Identity (PCI) uniquely identifies a cell.
When the PCIs of two adjacent cells conflict, a PCI message is reported. In accordance
with the PCI policy, the SON modifies the cell PCIs to eliminate the conflict or confusion.
Two types of PCI policies are available:
l Distributed: The eNodeB randomly selects a PCI from the PCI list.
l Centralized: The NetMAX network optimization system allocates PCIs to eNodeBs in
a unified manner. eNodeBs cannot select PCIs randomly.

MRO
The MRO function reduces handover failures and improves resource utilization.
During an MRO process, the system detects and collects statistics of handover failures
and unnecessary handovers, determines the failure type, counts the failure occurrence in
a specified period, and then optimizes the parameters to avoid the failures.
There are four types of handover failures:
l Too-late handover: Before or during a UE handover, a radio link failure occurs in the
source cell, and the re-establishment process is initiated in the target cell.
l Too-early handover: During or after a UE handover, a radio link failure occurs in the
source or target cell, and the re-establishment process is initiated in the source cell.
l Handover to a wrong cell: During or after a UE, a radio link failure occurs in the source
or target cell, and the re-establishment process is initiated in a third cell.
l Repeated handover: A UE is frequently handed over between two cells due to similar
signal strength when the UE is located in the overlapped coverage area of these two
cells. Repeated handover costs system resources.
The MRO operation logs are saved for convenience of future query.

RO
The RO function optimizes RACH parameters to improve the random access success rate
and reduce the access delay.

MLB Optimization
The MLB optimization function is used to accomplish self-optimization of cell loads in an
LTE system.
The MLB function is used to monitor the loads of the current cells in real time. If the load
of a current cell exceeds the MLB threshold, the cell mobility parameters are automatically
adjusted so that some edge UEs can hand over to or reselect other cells with less load.

Self Healing
The self healing function is used to reduce the number of sleep cells to improve the service
capability of the network.

1-2

SJ-20150616154618-017|2015-07-03 (R1.0) ZTE Proprietary and Confidential


Chapter 1 Preparation Work

A cell may sleep or exit service due to faults during the network operation. As a result,
UEs fail to access the cell. After detecting such an alarm, the EMS triggers the self healing
function, which remove the faults through actions such as automatic cell re-establishment
and board resetting.

Energy Saving
The energy saving function includes the following:
l Service energy saving: For a multi-carrier coverage network, the carrier of a certain
frequency point can be shut down at a specified time period (for example, at night)
and the subscribers can be migrated to a non-ES cell with the same coverage.
l Intelligent symbol shutdown: At a symbol-level time point of a radio subframe, if the
symbol is idle, the PA power is shut down at the idle symbol time.
l Dynamic PA voltage adjustment: This technology reduces PAs operating voltage to
improve PA efficiency and reduce base station power consumption when the base
station operates with low load.
Service ES is supported in this version.

X2 Connection Setup
X2 connection refers to the linking between eNodeBs. It is used for direct communication
between cells managed by different eNodeBs.
After an X2 policy is configured and the policy switch is turned on, X2 connection setup
will be triggered if neighbor cell relations are established between different eNodeBs.
In either of the following cases, X2 connection establishment is not required:
l An X2 connection already exists between the two eNodeBs involved in a neighbor cell
relation.
l The two cells involved in a neighbor cell relation are managed by the same eNodeB.

PnP
The Plug and Play (PnP) function enables eNodeBs to be deployed automatically in the
system after being powered on. This function is applicable to all eNodeB versions. Based
on the PnP policy, the eNodeB automatically establishes a communication link with the
Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC), obtains the latest version and configuration
data, and automatically activates the versions and synchronizes data.
Before configuring a PnP policy, ensure that the following conditions are met:
l The required software version is uploaded to the OMC server.
l The required configuration data is available in the modification area and the radio
configuration data is configured.
The PnP policy has the following advantages:
l Reduces repeated labor
l Simplifies the process for connecting eNodeBs to the EMS
l Reduces the wireless network operation cost.

CoMP Neighboring Cell Self-Configuration


The CoMP function enables an eNodeB to automatically add neighboring cells required
by the CoMP function for the serving cell. The serving cell selects at most six CoMP
neighboring cells from all co-channel neighboring cells in accordance with the following
principle:
l The number of times that the serving cell performs outgoing handover towards the
selected CoMP neighboring cell is the maximum.
l The transmission delay between the eNodeBs where the serving cell is located
satisfies the predefined condition.
The CoMP neighboring cell self-configuration function reduces the configuration work and
ensure correct configurations.

Policy Template
A policy template is used to set parameters and activities for specific SON functions. A set
of policy templates can be used to set multiple policies, meeting different requirements in
actual applications.
Users can configure ANR, PCI, MRO, RO, MLB, self healing, ES, X2, PnP, or CoMP policy
as required, and then issue the policy to the corresponding NEs, radio system, or cells to
apply the parameters. In this way, the operation of SON services can be controlled.

Switch Policy
In addition to the previously-described function policies, the system supports the
configuration of switch policies that are used to control the function policies.
l A switch policy determines whether a SON policy is enabled for reporting messages.
After an ANR, PCI, MRO, RO, MLB, self healing, ES, X2, and CoMP policy is deployed
on an NE or cell, the corresponding switch policy must be enabled to validate the
function policy.
l No switch policy is required for a PnP policy. The PnP policy is used for automatic
commissioning of eNodeBs on which no version is available to receive a switch policy.
After the eNodeBs are successfully commissioned, the corresponding PnP policy is
of no use.

Policy Configuration Granularity


SON policies can be configured at the levels of cell, radio access technology, and NE.
l ANR, PCI, MRO, RO, MLB, self healing, ES, X2, and CoMP policies: The smallest
granularity is cell level. The Radio Access Technology (RAT) level is also applicable.

1-4

SJ-20150616154618-017|2015-07-03 (R1.0) ZTE Proprietary and Confidential


Chapter 1 Preparation Work

Note:
If an RAT-level policy and a cell-level policy are created at the same time, the cell-level
policy is effective.

l PnP policies: The smallest granularity is radio access system level. No other levels
are applicable.
All switch policies are configured at radio access system level.

Reference Point and Breakpoint


l Reference point: To make SON service operation manually controllable, the system
predefines multiple points for the SON service flow. These points are called reference
points.
l Breakpoint: When a controlled service reaches a reference point, the service is
paused and waits for users to determine whether to proceed with or stop the process.
These reference points are called breakpoints.

Controlled Mode
Controlled mode is a SON service operation mode.
If a SON service is set to the controlled mode, the breakpoint settings take effect and the
service operation is controlled manually.

Free Mode
Free mode is a SON service operation mode.
In this mode, breakpoints are invalid and the service operation cannot be controlled by
users.

1.2 SON Configuration Window


Before configuring SON features for MO SDR base stations, you must open the SON
configuration window on the client.

Steps
1. Open the SON configuration window:
l Select Configuration > SON Management from the menu bar.
l Click on the toolbar.

Self-Configuration for CoMP
Neighboring Cells
The self-configuration for CoMP neighboring cells refers to a function that the system
periodically detects the neighboring cells and selects six neighboring cells from the
intra-frequency neighboring cells to which the UEs in the serving cell are handed over
most frequently. These six neighboring cells should also satisfy some certain conditions.
Replacing the manual configuration, the automatic configuration for the CoMP neighboring
cell ensures the accurate configuration.
