2.1 SON RO Confidential▲

Decision Criteria:
Probability of 1st Error Detection (50%):
ENB Received 1st Preamble from UE and send it’s response,
Due to reception failure, UE send again PRACH preamble with Ramped power in 2nd
Preamble

Working Methodology:

Condition SON Action Impact

Failure Probability>threshold
Failure Probability<threshold
Avg. PRACH Retrans > Threshold
Increase Initial power for preamble
Decrease Initial power for preamble
Increase Power Ramping Step else
decrease
Reduces Failures, access Delay & number
RACH retransmission
Increase access Delay & number RACH
retransmission to minimize noise floor and
improve capacity
Optimize PRACH Retrans Average Value

3.1 SON PCI (Control Mode) Confidential▲

PCI Conflict Resolution

1. PCI collision/confusion detection based on X2 interaction information
2. PCI confusion detection based on CGI measurement
3. PCI confusion detection based on the ANR flow
4. PCI Collision/confusion detection based on neighbor relation configuration
5. PCI collision/confusion detection based on serving cell PCI and frequency change

Condition Impact
PCI Collision Accessibility
