LTE Parameter Optimization

Requirements
Existing 3GPP Standards Status
Automatic optimization of coverage and

capacity related parameters in dependency
of related KPIs and thresholds.
Some requirements have been defined in 3GPP TS

32.521 Release9.
Automatic optimization of QoS and GoS

related parameters (i.e. adaption of
scheduling and / or RACH parameters) in
dependency of related KPIs and thresholds.
Some requirements of RACH optimization have

been defined in 3GPP TS 32.521 Release 9.
Automatic optimization of mobility and

handover related parameters (i.e. cell
individual offsets, down tilts, Event A
related parameters) in dependency of
related KPIs.
The Load balancing and HO parameters

optimization related requirements, NRM and targets
have been completed in TS 32.521/522 in Release 9.
Automatic optimization of cells or services

in outage based on an unambiguous
detection of this outage.
Some requirements and some stage 2 description

of Cell Outage Compensation have been defined in
draft TS 32.541/542.

Requirements
Optimization for identified parameters shall

be done within a value range, defined by the
operator
The targets of Load balancing and HO parameters

optimization have been defined in TS 32.522, which
can be set by the operator within a value range.
Optimization shall be done with respect to

KPIs and parameters not directly related to
the use case KPI (i.e. other KPIs shall not
become worse than defined thresholds (e.g.
handover optimization shall be done with
respect to capacity related parameters resp.
KPIs).
There is a related requirement (REQ-SO_MM-CON11 ) in TS 32.521, but the related IS and solution
sets have not been completed.
Dependency between KPIs resp. definition

which KPIs shall be considered in addition to
use case KPI(s) shall be configurable by the
operator.
There is no related definition in existing standard.
Thresholds for start and end point of

parameter optimization shall be configurable
by the operator.
There is a related requirement(REQ-SO_MM-FUN1 ) in TS 32.521, the targets of Load balancing and

HO parameters optimization and the IOC of
SONTargets have been defined in TS 32.522.

Requirements
Optimization cycle should be configurable

(periodically, event-based)
There is a related requirement (REQ-SO_MM-CON6 ) in TS 32.521, but the related IS and solution
sets have not been completed.
Support of centralized / decentralized

solution
Based on the definitions of SONTargets and

SONControl in TS 32.522, this requirement has
been supported.
Degree of automation configurable by the

operator.
o Optimization cycle completely automated:
yes / no
o Automated import of optimized settings:
yes / no
The concept of Open loop , which is related with

the configuration of the optimization cycle, has
been discussed is SA5 and more discussion is
needed.
There is no related information about the
automated import of optimized settings in existing
standard.
Import / export function of network status

with history and fallback solution.
There is no related information in existing

standard.
OSS should provide standardized interfaces

to planning tools / processes.
There is no related information in existing

standard.
