Typeface Meaning
II
1-1
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
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.
1-3
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.
1-4
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.
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.
