AI Technical Summary
Existing self-optimizing network (SON) reports face challenges in accurately reflecting the configuration of a cell at the time data was collected, due to potential changes in network configuration between data collection and reporting, leading to suboptimal adaptations in network settings.
The use of a configuration digest, such as a hash, that is independently determined by both user equipment (UE) and network nodes, allows for the identification of the configuration at the time of report generation without the need for UEs to store extensive configuration data or incur significant signaling overhead.
This approach enables accurate mapping of configuration digests to actual configuration information, improving interoperability and reducing the burden on UEs and networks, thereby facilitating better network optimization.
