Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional network optimization for LTE systems is complex and labor-intensive, requiring manual intervention and high skill levels due to the lack of control support for self-optimization functions through the northbound interface between Network Management Systems and Element Management Systems, increasing processing time and complexity.

Innovation Solution

A managed unit executes self-optimization according to a self-optimization trigger rule, eliminating the need for manual configuration modification commands, thereby simplifying the process and reducing manual processing time, using classes such as SOManagementCapablity, SOTriggerRule, and SOProcess to automate optimization processes.

Solution Approach 1:

The managed unit is enabled to automatically execute self-optimization by evaluating trigger rules and implementing optimization actions without requiring manual intervention. The system self-services by autonomously collecting data, analyzing conditions, and applying optimizations based on predefined rules, eliminating the need for manual analysis and command execution while reducing process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Trigger rules are pre-configured in the managed unit before optimization execution. These rules contain predefined conditions, thresholds, and optimization actions that are prepared in advance. When monitoring data satisfies these pre-set rules, the system automatically executes the corresponding optimization without requiring real-time manual analysis, thus reducing both complexity and processing time
