Network Optimization Methods
Network optimization involves adjustment of azimuths, tilts, antenna height, eNodeB
transmit power, feature algorithms, and performance parameters. Optimization methods in
different standards are similar, but each standard has its own measurement definition.

Single site verification
Single site verification will focus on data server more than anything else:
throughput test
Ping delay test
General test should be done, such as handover, signal distribution and
so on.

Note: For the throughput test, UDP is more suitable than TCP; because
TCPs send windows always change, that will affect the test result.

RF Optimization Difficulty
Share the antenna with 2/3G
Use special antenna, which have separate control part between
2G/3G and LTE, and can be remote controlled.
Sensitivity for the interference
Because LTE reuse the frequency by 1, cross coverage should be
the main problem for RF optimization. Try to control the network
topology is more important than the others.

RSRP
Note: Different from WCDMA systems, LTE systems have multiple subcarriers multiplexed.
Therefore, the measured pilot signal strength is the RSRP of RE(resource element) not the
total bandwidth power of the frequency.
Reference signal received power (RSRP), is determined for a
considered cell as the linear average over the power
contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry cell-
specific reference signals within the considered measurement
frequency bandwidth.

Power Adjustment Method
Service power configuration (calculating PDSCH power based
on RS power)
RS power PA and PB are delivered using RRC signaling. For
two antennas, PA is A and B is calculated based on the right
table. PDSCH power is calculated based on PA and PB.
Currently, it is recommended that PB be set to 1 dB and PA be
set to -3 dB. That is, the pilot power for symbols including pilot
symbols accounts for 1/3. This setting optimizes network
performance and ensures that the pilot power for Type A and
Type B symbols is equivalent to the service channel power. In
scenarios with special requirements, for example, in rural
scenarios requiring low edge rates, PB can be set to 2 or 3 dB to
enhance coverage.
Subcarriers share the transmit power of an eNodeB, and therefore the transmit power
of each subcarrier depends on the configured system bandwidth (such as 5 MHz and 10
MHz). A larger bandwidth will result in lower power of each subcarrier. LTE uses PA and
PB parameters to adjust power.
A: indicates the ratio of the data subcarrier power of OFDM symbols excluding pilot
symbols to the pilot subcarrier power.
B: indicates the ratio of the data subcarrier power of OFDM symbols including pilot
symbols to the pilot subcarrier power.

3GPP
specifications
Control channels
Power of PDCCHs, PHICHs, PCFICHs,
PBCHs, primary synchronization channels,
and secondary synchronization channels is
set using an offset from RS power.

Handover
No RNC/BSC, When an eNB cell is configured as neighbor cells
of other eNBs, external cells must be added first;
System send the frequency information to the terminal instead of
neighbor cells list, terminal scan the frequency quality and feed
back to eNB, the system will choose the target eNB.
