Background
About half of the total operating expense (OPEX) of a typical network is network planning and
optimization costs in which the costs of drive tests (DTs), performance analysis, and problem
location take majority. Performance analysis and problem location involve analyzing and
handling antenna problems. DTs are mainly used to solve network coverage problems and
require high costs.
Traditional optimization depends on manual experience, and the optimization efficiency is low.
Generally, when adjusting the azimuth or downtilt angle of an antenna through traditional
optimization, engineers identify the problem by performing a DT and then provide adjustment
advice based on manual experience. After a tower operator climbs up to the antenna tower and

SONMaster
adjust the azimuth or downtilt angle, another DT is performed to check whether the problem
persists. The preceding operations may be performed repeatedly to solve one problem.
LTE CCO provided by Huawei is based on automatic analysis and helps you efficiently solve
network coverage and capacity problems.
Definition
Using automatic cell planning (ACP), LTE CCO provided by Huawei automatically finds the
optimal values of RF parameters and optimizes network coverage and capacity. The functions
of CCO and ACP are as follows:
l CCO: optimizes network coverage and capacity with least manual intervention, thereby
reducing network OM costs.
l ACP: automatically locates the optimal values of RF parameters such as Transmit
Power, Antenna E-Tilt Angle, Mechanical Tilt Angle, and Azimuth using the intelligent
searching algorithm.
Data Source Analysis

Optimization performed by the SONMaster mainly involves the following types of data:
configuration data (CM data), performance data (PM data), and measurement report data (MR
data).
Figure 1-1 shows the sources of SONMaster analysis data on the network. Table 1-2 describes
the data sources.
Figure 1-1 Sources of analysis data

SONMaster
Table 1-2 Data sources
Data Source Description
CM The data is obtained from the eNodeB. It provides configuration

information about cells and neighbor relationships for optimization
analysis.
PM The data is obtained from the eNodeB. It is mainly used for

problematic area construction, optimization effect evaluation, and
parameter rollback.
SIG The data is obtained from the eNodeB. It provides neighboring cell
signal level and quality information for optimization analysis.
Engineering Engineering parameters are manually imported or exported on the

parameters SONMaster. They provide latitude and longitude and coverage type
(indoor, high-speed, or tunnel) information for optimization analysis
and geographic display.
Mandatory data E-maps and antenna files are manually imported on the SONMaster.
They are used to view clutter height and altitude information and
obtain antenna parameters in the GIS window.
Different types of data also need to be imported according to the
optimization mode:
l If Optimization Mode is set to MDT, the SONMaster also
collects MDT data. The collected MDT data is mainly used for
determining coverage exceptions based on MR data and
generating the feature database and pass loss matrix.
l If Optimization Mode is set to External feature database and
path loss matrix, you need to manually import the external
feature database and path loss matrix.
Benefits
LTE CCO brings the following benefits:
l Improved network coverage and capacity optimization efficiency
This feature automatically collects and processes network data, detects coverage and
capacity problems on wireless networks, performs associated optimization based on the
problems, and adjusts RF parameters. This reduces the dependencies on manual invention,
shortens the waiting time, implements network optimization anytime and anywhere, and
improves network optimization, operation, and maintenance efficiency.
l Reduced network coverage and capacity optimization costs
This feature is automated. The optimization advice confirmed by telecom operators will be
automatically applied. This reduces manual invention and network OM costs.
l Improved network performance
This feature optimizes network coverage and capacity, thereby achieving better network
coverage, load balancing, and maximum radio resource usage. This helps reduce network

NOTE
The scenario restrictions of this feature are as follows:

l Project scenarios: CCO is developed for solving coverage and capacity problems on existing
networks, and does not apply to new deployment, reparenting, or expansion scenarios.
l Wireless scenarios: CCO - RF based subfeatures do not apply to high-speed moving coverage, tunnel
coverage, super-distance coverage, or indoor coverage scenarios because the MR locating precision
in such scenarios does not met the requirements of the subfeatures.
l Networking scenarios: In this version, CCO does not apply to inter-RAT coverage, multi-vendor
networking, special cell, or MOCN/MORAN scenarios. CCO applies to single-carrier coverage,
multi-carrier coverage, and multi-band coverage scenarios.
l Special cell scenarios: CCO - RF based subfeatures do not apply to multi-RRU cell, repeater, or
small-cell base station scenarios because the MR locating precision in such scenarios does not met
the requirements of the subfeatures.

2.1 Related Concepts

Table 2-1 describes related concepts of LTE CCO.
Table 2-1 Related concepts
Concept Description
Problematic Sets of optimization objects that encounter problems, such as cells and base
area stations. Such sets are detected by CCO in each optimization process.
Problematic areas have the following characteristics:
l Each problematic area is covered by an optimization area.
l Each problematic area corresponds to one optimization task. Problematic
areas vary according to optimization tasks.
l Problematic areas are relative to optimization periods. The problematic
areas for an optimization task may vary in different optimization periods.
The following is an example of problematic area identification. Once CCO
detects that cell A encounters a problem, adjacent cells of cell A (for example,
cell B and cell C) are added to the problematic area according to certain
principles even though cell B and cell C do not encounter any problem. In
this scenario, cell A, cell B, and cell C belong to the problematic area, and
cell A is identified as a problematic cell.
ACP Automatic location of optimal values of RF parameters such as Best

Transmit Power, Antenna E-Tilt Angle, Mechanical Tilt Angle, and
Azimuth based on the intelligent searching algorithm.
In optimization scenarios, you can build data sources required for intelligent
optimal value location based on the measured data on the live network.
Path loss Matrix that reflects the path loss from an antenna to each grid point. The path
matrix loss matrix is an important input of generating optimization advice.
Based on the assisted MDT data with location information, which is collected
from the live network by radio access technology (RAT), you can create a
relatively accurate path loss matrix for each RAT.
If no MDT data is collected from the network, path loss can be calculated
according to propagation models. However, traditional propagation models
are inapplicable to densely-populated urban areas. If the parameters for a
mature commercial ray tracking model are not corrected, the path loss
calculated according to the model results in calculation errors.
NOTE
Path loss: loss occurs when RF waves are transmitted through the air, which has a
filtering effect on the signal.
Grid: geographic area divided according to a certain resolution. For example, if the
resolution is 50 meters, each grid refers to a geographic area covering 2500 square
meters.

SONMaster
Concept Description
Feature Geographical distribution of network signals. On the live network, a

database geographic area may be served by multiple cells. The signal characteristics
of the area include the signal strength and information about such cells. That
is, the feature database generally contains latitude and longitude information,
serving cell and neighboring cell information, and signal level information
about each cell.
Two feature database methods are available:
l Based on MDT data
l Predication based on the engineering parameters, MML data, e-map, and
propagation model, and DT data correction.
MR locating Generate grid-level data required for generating the optimization advice.
Two MR locating methods are available:
l Feature-database-based locating: requires the engineering parameters,
feature database, and MR data source.
l Quick locating: requires only the engineering paramters and MR data
source.

Automatically detects the cells that encounter coverage problems such as weak coverage, pilot
pollution, and coverage overlap and then constructs the problematic area. It also automatically
provides RF parameter adjustment advice and adjusts the RF parameter to solve the coverage
problems.
Figure 2-2 shows the process of LTE CCO. For details, see Table 2-3.

No. Procedure Description
1 Create and Create a CCO task. Based on data sources, this feature applies to the
start an following scenarios:
optimization l Based on MDT data
task If MDT data can be collected, this mode is prioritized.
– Advantage: The feature is effective and highly automated in
this mode.
– Disadvantage: Terminals must support MDT reporting.
l Based on the external feature database and path loss matrix.
This mode is recommended if the MDT data cannot be collected
but telecom operators provide the DT data or path loss matrix.
– Advantage: You do not need to enable other features in this
mode.
– Disadvantage: The feature in this mode is less effective than
that in MDT mode, and the automation level is low.
l Based on quick location
This mode is recommended if the MDT data cannot be collected
and telecom operators do not provide the DT data or path loss
matrix.
– Advantage: You do not need to enable other features in this
mode, and the feature in this mode is highly automated.
– Disadvantage: The feature in this mode is with the less
effectiveness.
After you start a CCO task, the SONMaster collects raw
performance data of all cells involved in the task.
2 Identify Based on performance statistics, the SONMaster identifies cells

problematic with abnormal performance counters as problematic cells.
cells
3 Construct A problematic area consists of the problematic cells and their

problematic neighboring cells. The reasons are as follows:
areas l As the coverage areas of cells may overlap, the problematic cells
may be caused by other cells.
l This helps avoid cell parameter adjustment impact on related
neighboring cells.

SONMaster
4 Generate Based on the collected MR data of the cells in the problematic area,
optimization the SONMaster generates the following optimization policy
policy parameters:
parameters l Problematic area priority parameters: specify the priority of each
problematic area and that of each problem type based on the
types and severities of problems in each problematic area.
l Optimization objective parameters: specify the objective
parameters for each type of problem. Telecom operators'
requirements on signal level and interference values must be
considered.
l Grid-level busy-hour counters for problematic areas: For load
balancing, the SONMaster provides grid-level busy-hour
counters such as DL throughput and traffic volume to ACP to
determine cell traffic status.
l Other control parameters: specify control parameters restricted
by the onsite network conditions, such as the adjustment ranges
and steps for the azimuth, mechanical downtilt angle, electrical
downtilt angle, and power parameters.
NOTE
Setting the objective fitness function is critical to ACP. The parameters for
the objective fitness function and the related optimization policies, which are
required for ACP, are generated in this procedure.
5 ACP The SONMaster automatically finds and displays the optimal values
of RF parameters for each problematic area. Based on the optimal
values of RF parameters, the SONMaster predicts the signal level,
quality, and KPIs for the problematic area that the optimization
advice will be applied. In addition, the SONMaster compares the
optimization simulation effect with the situation before the
optimization to help you confirm the optimization advice.
l For coverage optimization, the SONMaster displays the signal
level and quality CDF curves for each problematic area.
l For load balancing optimization, the SONMaster displays the
cell load and grid-level PDSCH SINR CDF curve. The curve
represents the channel quality experienced by cell edge users
(CEUs).
NOTE
ACP is based on intelligent iterative optimization. Intelligent iterative
optimization stops when any of the following conditions is met:
l The optimization objective is achieved. The optimization objective is
specified in the objective fitness function of the ACP module.
l The number of iteration times reaches. If the optimization objective is
not achieved for a long time, the iteration automatically stops when the
number of iteration times reaches.
l The gains between two iterations do not reach the threshold. For example,
there are limited gains brought by consecutive iterations.

SONMaster
6 Deliver and After generating optimization advice, the SONMaster delivers the
execute advice in any of the following modes:
optimization l Manual delivery mode: After confirming the generated
advice optimization advice, you can choose to deliver all of, part of, or
none of the optimization advice.
l Schedule delivery mode: The SONMaster delivers the
optimization advice to eNodeBs through the related interface at
a specified time point.
l Instant delivery mode: The SONMaster directly delivers the
optimization advice to eNodeBs through the related interface.
NOTE
You are allowed to select a mode for delivering optimization advice. When
the optimization advice contains only the electrical downtilt angle and pilot
power settings, the free mode is allowed. When the optimization advice
contains the azimuth and mechanical downtilt angle settings, the free mode
is not allowed because the azimuth and mechanical downtilt angle must be
manually adjusted.

SONMaster
7 Evaluate the After delivering optimization advice, the SONMaster evaluates the
optimization optimization effect. If performance deteriorates, the SONMaster
effect and rolls back the RF parameters. That is, the SONMaster delivers the
roll back RF parameters configured before the optimization to eNodeBs
parameters through the U2000.
Optimization effect evaluation and rollback are divided into the
following categories:
l Quick optimization effect evaluation and rollback: is based on
the monitored KPIs before and after the optimization. With a
limited period of time (for example, eight hours), the SONMaster
checks whether KPIs deteriorates severely. If KPIs deteriorates
severely, the SONMaster conducts a quick rollback.
l Coverage optimization effect evaluation and rollback: applies
only to coverage optimization and is based on the cell-level MR
coverage statistics and KPIs before and after the optimization.
With a limited period of time (for example, three days), the
SONMaster checks whether KPIs or network coverage
deteriorates severely in the monitored problematic area. If any
KPI or network coverage deteriorates severely, the SONMaster
conducts an RF parameter rollback.
l Coverage and capacity optimization effect evaluation and
rollback: applies only to the problematic areas where load
balancing optimization is performed and RF parameters are not
rolled back. Within a limited period of time (for example, three
days), the SONMaster checks whether the coverage, overload
amount, number of pairs of cells with unbalanced load, or
throughput deteriorates severely in the monitored problematic
area. If any of the preceding items deteriorates severely, the
SONMaster conducts an RF parameter rollback.
l Slow optimization effect evaluation and rollback: applies only
to the problematic areas where coverage optimization or
coverage and capacity optimization is performed and RF
parameters are not rolled back. With a limited period of time (for
example, one day), the SONMaster collects grid-level coverage
statistics and displays KPIs, cell-level MR coverage counters,
and grid-level coverage counters for you to compare and analyze.
In this scenario, CCO does not provide the effect evaluation or
automatic RF parameter rollback function. However, you are
allowed to manually perform an RF parameter rollback.

LTE CCO Feature Description - RF Based 3 Related Features
3 Related Features
l Prerequisite Features: none

l Mutually Exclusive Features: none
l Impacted Features: LTE CCO adjusts the power, azimuth, mechanical downtilt angle,
and electrical downtilt angle. The adjustment may lead to change of the basic network
architecture. In automatic optimization scenarios, to ensure that other automatic parameter
optimization processes that are based on the basic network architecture can be performed
concurrently, you are advised to obey the following restrictions when using LTE CCO:
– Use the FDD features of LTE CCO with the following features:
– LOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR)
– LOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & Self-Optimization
– LOFD-002005 Mobility Robust Optimization (MRO)
– Use the TDD features of LTE CCO with the following features:
– TDLOFD-002001 Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR)
– TDLOFD-002007 PCI Collision Detection & Self-Optimization
– TDLOFD-002005 Mobility Robust Optimization (MRO)

LTE CCO Feature Description - RF Based 4 Network Impact

LTE FDD DL Coverage Optimization RF Based

l System Capacity: none
l Network Performance:
– Positive impact: Coverage problems such as weak coverage, pilot pollution, and
coverage overlap may seriously affect the network in terms of coverage deterioration,
interference, service access difficulties, service drops, and capacity reduction. The
possible causes are as follows: improper cell distribution, improper base station location,
excessively high antenna height, and improper antenna azimuth, antenna downtilt angle,
and pilot power settings.
LTE CCO optimizes network coverage by adjusting the antenna azimuth, electrical
downtilt angle, mechanical downtilt angle, and pilot power settings. This helps reduce
network performance problems caused by coverage problems, improve user experience,
and improve network KPIs.
– Negative impact: The MDT data reported by terminals consumes network resources,
and may lead to throughout decreases.
NOTE
The preceding descriptions also apply to the TDD features of LTE CCO.

6.1 Activation Advice

You are advised to activate this feature when the following scenarios are met to relieve KPI
deterioration caused by weak coverage, pilot pollution, and coverage overlapping and improve
network performance:
l Routine network optimization scenarios. This feature does not apply to new deployment,
reparenting, and expansion scenarios.
l Networking scenarios: single-carrier coverage, multi-carrier coverage, or multi-band
coverage. This feature limitedly applies to the co-antenna scenario.
l Radio scenarios, such as macro cells in densely-populated urban areas, urban areas, and
suburban areas. This feature does not apply to the high-speed moving coverage, tunnel
coverage, super-distance coverage, indoor coverage, and multi-RRU coverage.
Therefore, you need to add radio scenario types of cells in engineering parameters to ensure
that this feature automatically recognizes whether a cell will be optimized.

to the cell antenna model. If
a RET antenna is used, the
antenna pattern files
corresponding to different
electrical downtilt angles
(for example, 0 to 10
degrees) are included.
Antenna pattern files are
used for calculating antenna
gains during optimization
advice generation. An
improper antenna file will
affect the evaluation
accuracy. If no original
antenna pattern file
corresponding to the cell
antenna model is available,
you can use different types
of antenna files that have the
same beamwidth and
antenna gain.
l E-maps: You need to
prepare the e-maps
corresponding to the
optimization area. The e-
maps must be the grid maps
provided by Mapinfo, and
the precision is 20 m.
l Propagation models: You
need to collect the
propagation model
corresponding to the radio
environment of the
optimization area.

to ensure that the MDT data collected within a short period (for example, three days)
meets the following requirements:
1. MDT data is available in 80% of the grids in the analysis area.
2. The ratio of the number of girds for which six or more MDT records are available
to the total number of grids for which MDT records are available is equal to or
more than 40%.
– NE requirements: Trace Server is deployed. The Trace Server centrally manages
external CHR data subscription for LTE networks. After receiving subscription
commands from the SONMaster, the Trace Server sends the collected MR data to the
SONMaster.
– Server requirements: The SONMaster has been deployed.
l License Requirements
The following license control items are added:
– CCO-LTE FDD DL Coverage Optimization RF Based.
– CCO-LTE TDD DL Coverage Optimization RF Based.
l Operation rights requirements

Management under Application-Level Operation Rights > CCO. If not, apply for the
operation rights from the administrator.
6.3.2 Data Preparation
You must prepare the following data before deploying LTE FDD DL Coverage Optimization
RF Based:
l LTE engineering parameters, as listed in Table 6-2.
l Optimization zones and optimization object parameters, as listed in Table 6-3.
l Optimization policy parameters, as listed in Table 6-4.
l Adjustable RF parameters for problematic areas, which specify the adjustment range for
RF parameters. The adjustable RF parameters are classified into the following types:
– Cell-level adjustable RF parameters: specify the adjustment range for RF parameters
for a cell and support addition, deletion, modification, and batch configuration. Table
6-5 lists cell-level adjustable RF parameters.
– Network-level adjustable RF parameters: serve as default parameters and take effect for
all cells on the network. If the cell-level adjustable RF parameters are not set for a cell,
the network-level adjustable RF parameters take effect. Parameters specifying the
maximum value, minimum value, and adjustment step are included in both the cell- and
network-level adjustable RF parameters, with same default values provided. Note that
the Adjustable parameter is included only in the cell-level adjustable RF parameters.
l Antenna type selection: You need to import the antenna data file before selecting antenna
types. For detailed operations, see (Optional) Importing the Antenna Data Files in Getting
Started.

1. Select the running optimization task.
2. Click to stop the task.
6.4 Monitoring
When coverage problems exist on the network, activating LTE FDD DL Coverage Optimization
RF Based will reduce the ratios of MRs with weak coverage, MRs with poor quality, and MRs
with pilot pollution, and improve CombKPI.RF if network conditions do not change. You can
evaluate the feature performance by monitoring the following counters:
l Coverage Map before and after optimization: signal level and quality distribution based
on all grid MRs. Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3 show the examples.

SONMaster
Figure 6-2 Signal level distribution based on all grid MRs

SONMaster

l Signal level and quality CDF curves before and after optimization: each of which includes
the MR ratio CDF curve and the grid ratio CDF curve. Figure 6-4 shows the effect
comparison before and after optimization.

SONMaster
Figure 6-4 Effect comparison of the signal level or quality CDF before and after

l Statistics counters for each problematic area before and after optimization
– Weak coverage grid proportion before and after optimization
– Poor quality grid proportion before and after optimization
– Pilot pollution grid proportion before and after optimization
– Weak coverage MR proportion before and after optimization
– Poor quality MR proportion before and after optimization
– Pilot pollution MR proportion before and after optimization
– CombKPI.RF before and after optimization
NOTE
l CombKPI.RF represents the effect of the RF-related exceptions of all cells in the
problematic area. Such exceptions include RF-caused RRC setup failures, E-RAB setup
failures, and service drops. Table 8-1 describes counter definitions.
l The optimization should not be performed before, after, or during holidays or major events
because they will cause KPI fluctuation.
If KPIs increase after the optimization advice is delivered and executed, check whether RF-
caused KPI increase is caused by the optimization. If so, use the optimization advice rollback
function to restore the previous network parameters.
6.5 (Optional) Performance Optimization

This section describes the optimization parameters. After this feature is activated, you can
properly adjust the parameters in Table 6-10 to achieve better optimization results.
