Cellular RAN

SON
Modern networks are becoming increasingly characterized by a mix of subscribers using a
wide variety of applications each with their own usage type and quality of service (QoS)
expectations. The ways that subscribers use wireless communication networks varies
dramatically between the various subscribers. Each subscriber is unique with individual
characteristic uses for voice and data services. Usage patterns for subscribers tend to be
determined by various demographic factors including age, occupation, whether they are
corporate or commercial subscribers, whether they are pre- or post-paid, and where they live,
among other factors.
When it comes to services, each can be split into those offered by

even a trend toward providing service to subscribers with missioncritical requirements, such as emergency-service first responders. All
this adds up to a vast range of usage characteristics between the
multitude of subscribers using the network.

Extreme Non-uniformity in Cellular Networks

The extreme variation in characteristics for the various subscribers
using the network and the applications they use are two examples of
the non-uniformity challenge that modern network operators face.

manage and optimize them are also disjointed and heterogeneous.

If this occurs, it also adds cost and complexity to the networks
management and optimization.
Time is another dimension of extreme non-uniformity. Networks
encounter performance issues on vastly different timescales. At one
extreme, performance will fluctuate from minute to minute as the
subscribers move around and utilization varies. For example, short
timescale variations are also caused by equipment outages. At the
other extreme, utilization will change over a course of weeks and
months. This arises from the growth in demand for data driven by
ever more sophistication in smartphone apps. Some of the increased
demand can only be addressed by capital expenditure (CapEx)
investment, but in other cases the CapEx investment can be avoided
or deferred by optimizing the radio access network (RAN).

A Practical Approach to Optimization

A practical self-organizing network (SON) solution must have a
variety of characteristics that allows it to address the challenges
encountered in managing and optimizing todays RANs. For
example, a complete SON solution must be able to address the
need for optimization on multiple scales. In the time domain, for
example, this includes the very short timescales arising from the
changing subscriber behavior during the day along with shortterm infrastructure failures and impairments. It also includes the
longer timescales of dealing with the trends in changing subscriber
behavior. In the spatial domain, the SON solution must employ
surgical precision to deal with localized phenomena, such as transient
congestion or changing subscriber characteristics throughout the day.

Another facet of extreme non-uniformity is location. Voice and

A SON solution that cannot discriminate between the varying

needs of the subscriber population and different applications will
have limited scope to act. The QoS expectations will vary radically
between the different types of subscribers. At one extreme is smart

about how to configure the RAN for routine operations.

calculate the subscribers locations with sufficient accuracy to

A flexible SON solution can redesign the network for specific

operator goals which will vary from region to region, depending on
such things as the subscriber numbers, terrain, available investment,
and local competition. Sometimes operators place importance on
certain performance measures, for example, some mix of coverage,
quality, and capacity. Other goals will be more business related,
such as providing the best quality of experience (QoE) for certain
differentiating services. At the extreme, the goals will be financially
based, for example, reducing operating expenses (OpEx) by saving
energy. Ultimately operators are dependent upon revenue to
underpin their business operations. In turn, a SON solution must
be revenue- aware; that is, it must satisfy the subscribers need for
service with sufficient QoE to prevent churn yet also allow them to
consume, and pay for, the services they want. Thus a flexible SON is
also a revenue- aware SON.

As well as being able to tune performance to the subscriber, services,

and locations that are most critical for the operator, subscriber
visibility enables you to respond to impairments and failures to
mitigate their impact on high-value subscribers, especially VIPs and
emergency services workers.
The capability for self-learning is a key attribute of a SON solution,
because how the network and the subscribers using it behave and
respond to changes is complex. This coupled with the wide variety
of networks in existence mean that the ways that each network
responds to changes will, to some degree, be unique to that network
and subscriber base. A SON solution must acknowledge this and be
able to learn from experience, which can be achieved in a variety of
ways. For example, self-learning can take into account the historic
behavior of the network and the subscribers to anticipate the future.
This allows it to change the configuration preemptively to deal with
demand changes throughout the day, because the highest load
typically occurs at a similar time each day.
It also has applications for special events, such as sports games
or concerts, where behavior is unusual with respect to a normal
day; but there is similarity between network behavior during the
different events. Self-learning also encompasses the ability to make
exploratory changes, understand the response to those changes,
and use that information as part of future decision- making. This

Selected SON Examples

There are many examples of how SON is evolving to satisfy use cases
in ways that address the points described in the previous section.
Here we review some of these use cases.

Subscriber-aware self-healing
A typical use case for SON systems is self-healing, which detects
the failure or impairment of one or more network infrastructure
elements, taking carriers or sites out of service either completely or
partially. Some users previously served by the impaired infrastructure
will be unable to obtain service due to being in a transient coverage
hole. Other users will be able to obtain service from nearby cells that
have not been taken out of service. The impact on those users who
have lost service is clear and significant. The impact on the users still
able to obtain service will be less serious but can still be significant.
For example, the remaining infrastructure will be carrying more user
traffic, which can lead to congestion that affects users not previously
served by the failed infrastructure, as their serving cell is carrying
more traffic than before the impairment. Another phenomenon is
that some users will now get service from cells receiving lower signal
strength or signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Therefore, they may be unable
to achieve the same high data throughput as they did previously.
Not only can this negatively impact the user experience, it can also
compound the congestion problem described above.

making changes to their parameters to extend their coverage into the

areas not serviced due to the impairment. Increasing the power of
the common pilot channel (CPICH) or reference signal will temporarily
increase coverage along with uptilting antennas. Together these
changes provide rescue coverage for the users that would otherwise
fall into a transient coverage hole.
This traditional type of self-healing can mitigate coverage loss arising
from impairments to the network infrastructure. However, this
remedy is a resolution for the general population. Modern cellular
networks dont serve one subscriber type using a single service.
Rather, they serve a heterogeneous mix of subscribers from prepaid to post-paid, corporate and retail subscribers, with low and
high utilization. Some networks even carry traffic with missioncritical applications like emergency services for first responders. The
applications that subscribers use are now diverse with widely varying
requirements on what performance measures, for example, data rates
and retainability will constitute reasonable QoE. The applications
that subscribers use are diverse with widely varying requirements
on what performance measures will constitute reasonable QoE. For
example, subscribers using e-mail are more tolerant of data rate
variations and occasional dropped connections than subscribers using
voice over LTE (VoLTE) services. Service degradation can also impact
service level agreements (SLAs) for mission-critical users.
When self-healing responds to a network impairment without
considering the subscribers it serves, it can sometimes have
significant side effects. For example, a donor cell is adjusted to
increase its coverage and additionally serve subscribers who
otherwise no longer have service. However, if an emergency-service
worker is being served by that donor cell, the effect of reconfiguring
the network to mitigate the outage can induce congestion on that
donor cell, resulting in congestion that negatively impacts the

Introducing subscriber awareness reduces the impact on key highvalue subscribers. Subscriber-aware self-healing uses information
about the active subscribers on candidate donor cells before allowing
them to be modified to provide rescue coverage. Candidate donor
cells serving high-value subscribers are excluded from the list of
donor cells that can be optimized to provide rescue coverage. Also,
self-healing addresses the risk for congestion arising from the rescue
coverage and its impact on high-value subscribers. This approach of
excluding cells providing coverage to high-value subscribers is shown
in Figure 5. The candidate donor cell restricted from being changed is
shown in orange.
Figure 5. Helper cells (green) and a cell that is blocked from being
a helper cell (orange) because it is serving a high-value subscriber.

emergency-service first responder.

Other effects may also impact the high-value subscriber. For example,
subscribers being served by less optimal cells can result in increased
power in the system. The increased interference in the system often
lowers S/N and impairs the ability to achieve higher data rates.
For example, Figure 4 shows a network where two sites, marked in
red, experience an unplanned outage. The cells marked in green are
those that self-healing identifies as donor cells. Self-healing detects
an impairment in the cells ability to provide coverage and applies
changes to the donor cells to provide rescue coverage. In this case,
an emergency-service first responder subscriber is located within the
coverage area of the cell marked with a red circle.

of that subscriber experiencing congestion is reduced. Restricting

a cell from being a donor cell because it is serving a high-value
subscriber has other advantages. For example, the radio signal quality
often improves for high-value subscribers by reducing additional
interference introduced into the system, as illustrated in Figure 6. This
shows the cumulative distribution functions of the pilot-received
S/N for the emergency-services first responder. This distribution
is shown in various scenarios, such as for the normal, pre-outage
scenario along with the unmitigated outage scenario. The impact of
the outage significantly degrading the S/N is clear. This degrades the
ability of the first responder to achieve higher data rates and may, in
extreme circumstances, threaten the ability to maintain a connection.
It shows the impact of regular self-healing for the first responder.
The self- healing provides some improvement; however, there is still
some degradation from the S/N achieved prior to the impairment.
However, once the subscriber-aware self-healing is deployed the
S/N returns to pre-impairment levels, or even improves marginally.
The improved S/N occurs in addition to other positive factors for the
critical subscriber, such as resilience to congestion stemming from
excluding the serving cell from the list of candidate donor cells and

use cases to yield enhanced capabilities, such as the subscriberaware self-healing. This is one example of how limited amounts of
per-subscriber data can be used to enhance classic SON use cases.
However, there are degrees to which per-subscriber data can be
used within SON. For example, subscriber-centric optimization can
predict the impact on the subscriber base of supposed parameter
changes. Therefore, it can select new parameterizations across whole
clusters of dozens or hundreds of cells for substantial performance
improvements. This concept is described in the white paper:
Harnessing Subscriber-Centric Optimization for the Next-Generation
of Self-Organizing Networks. This approach can deliver double-digit
improvements in a wide variety of performance measures that are
critical to the subscriber experience. Operators can configure the
optimization algorithms to reflect their goals for the network region.
Subscriber-centric optimization is a powerful capability that doesnt
fit neatly into traditional SON use cases, because it optimizes large
clusters of cells at once leading to longer cycle times than making
changes with traditional SON use cases. Using subscriber-centric
optimization as part of a real-time self-healing solution is compelling
