1Reliability

If manual configuration of handover parameters is used, then network reliability can be improved through optimized settings, but the complexity and time consumption of configuration increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors multiple KPIs and deviations therefrom to identify performance issues and triggers self-optimization by automatically adjusting handover parameters without requiring manual intervention. The optimization system performs self-diagnosis and self-tuning based on real-time network conditions, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors multiple KPIs (handover success rate, radio link failures, data throughput) and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust handover parameters. The deviation analysis provides real-time feedback loops that automatically optimize network performance based on actual measurements, replacing manual configuration with automated closed-loop control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If multiple KPIs are monitored to optimize network performance, then optimization accuracy improves, but the complexity of monitoring and analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The monitoring system is segmented into modular components that track individual KPIs (handover success rate, radio link failures, data throughput) separately before aggregating them for comprehensive analysis. This segmentation allows precise measurement of each parameter while simplifying the overall system architecture through standardized monitoring modules that can be independently configured and analyzed.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary monitoring and analysis of network conditions before triggering optimization actions. By continuously collecting KPI data and identifying potential issues in advance, the system can proactively adjust handover parameters before problems occur, reducing the time needed for reactive optimization and improving overall network robustness.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The optimization system operates continuously, constantly monitoring KPIs and deviations to maintain optimal network performance at all times. This continuous operation eliminates the need for periodic manual optimization cycles, ensuring that network robustness is maintained through uninterrupted automated tuning rather than intermittent manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
