Intra-RAT event-triggered ANR adds a neighbor relationship to an NRT based on the CGI reported from the UE but not
based on the NCL defined earlier.

ANR Delete Optimization Result

ANR Auto Delete Optimization is currently working fine.
From ANR log, it is found that ANR delete more cells than before. Furthermore, failure of adding neighbor
relationship reduced. Previously some neighbor fail to be added in neighbor list due to the source cell
having maximum configuration of neighbor (256 neighbors). Currently, there are only 3cells having
maximum configuration of neighbor which is much more lesser compare to 8 th September where there are
total of 28cells.

ANR Delete Optimization - Punishment

However, it is found that there is some neighbor relation has repeatedly add & delete. To avoid this to
happen, ANR punishment mechanism can be used to reduce the scenario.
Neighbor relationship which deleted by ANR will be put in monitoring list. If within 1440mins the HO request
> 100, the neighbor will be added back in NRT, else it will remain in monitoring list and not to be added. By
this repeatedly add&delete neighbors scenario can be minimized and limit ANR to only add necessary
neighbor.

Description

Values

RsvdPara25

Indicates the penalty statistics period during

which a deleted neighbor relationship with an EUTRAN or UTRAN cell can be added to the
neighboring relation table (NRT) again if the
number of times neighboring E-UTRAN or UTRAN
cell addition is triggered is greater than or equal
to the value of the EutranNcellDelPunNum.

1440

RsvdPara26

Indicates the number of times penalty statistics

about neighboring E-UTRAN cell deletion are
collected. When a neighbor relationship with an
E-UTRAN cell is deleted, it can be added to the
NRT again if the number of times neighboring EUTRAN cell addition is triggered is greater than
or equal to the value of this parameter.
