Nokia Eden- Need for SON
• New user devices and evolving network usage has dramatically increased
user demand for mobile network data capacity.
• Radio frequency spectrum represents the fundamental resource on which
wireless networks are built. Clear spectrum suitable for broadband mobile
wireless support is becoming increasingly scarce, creating the need for
spectrum sharing solutions.
• Traditional model of increasing network capacity by simply adding cells leads
to diminishing returns on additional capital investment, creating new network
management challenges without additional automation of network
management processes.
• Future wireless networks managing billions upon billions of data-hungry,
mobile-connected devices will require additional levels of automation such as
Self Organizing Networks (SON)

Solution
• Detects reuse code collisions/confusions up to four
neighbor hops from each other.
• Optimally assigns new codes to cells to eliminate all
detected collisions/confusions.
• Configurable for restricted reuse code ranges.
• Configurable to maintain common co-sector reuse
codes when implementing retunes.
• Major performance gains experienced once sub-
optimal reuse code plans are corrected
Solution
• CCO scans multiple radio access technologies and
multiple radio access network vendors to detect
coverage gaps, interference and overshooters
• CCO optimizes the coverage via advanced antenna

Solution
• Eden-NET monitors in real-time a more limited set of
KPIs than the Automatic Performance Reports
module
• Generates alarms and sends an email to the
responsible RF engineer if the KPIs exceed pre-
defined or learned thresholds.
Solution
• Eden-NET processes and analyzes continuously
large volumes of performance data across each of
the 2G, 3G, and 4G cell e.g.
• Accessibility KPIs
• Retainability KPI’s
• Throughput KPI’s.
• Identifies the poorest performing cells
• Sends reports to RF Engineers
KPI Improvements
Solution • Decreased call drop rate
Automatic Parameter Optimization finds optimal • Handover success rate
configurations by evaluating different parameter • Average throughput
sets against performance metrics for multi vendor
2G, 3G and 4G networks.
Supports rollback to the initial values, if needed
Supports permanent pushing of optimal
configuration into the
WCDMA uplink noise optimization included
Solution
KPI Improvements
• Examines the neighboring replacement cell(s)
• Decreased call drop rate
• KPIs to determine if a coverage gap has been • Handover success rate
caused as a result of the cell outage • Average throughput
• which target cells’ parameters can be adjusted
without congestion when picking up the traffic
• Compensates by adjusting the electrical antenna tilt
or transmission power to extend the coverage area
• Monitors the replacement cells to detect congestion
and reverts the operation if needed
Solution
• Eden-NET periodically monitors alarms related to
outages
• Alarm based Outage Resolution module performs
recovery operations on site, cell or unit level
automatically
• Configurable behavior for specified alarms
Solution
• Determines and configures the overlapping cell pairs
for Carrier Aggregation
• Sets the needed parameter values for both Primary
Cell and Secondary Cell
• Provisions and checks consistency in Configurator
and eNB
Solution
• Automated Site Creation (LTE, WCDMA) orchestrates the
Nokia base station rollout by
• Configuration preparation (minimizes planning)
• Base station autoconfiguration
• Initial optimization
• Verification and follow-up
Solution
• Special Events module applies the operator’s
strategy to accommodate temporary capacity
imbalances in the network
• Supports Planned events (Schedule-based)
• Rollback of network parameters post special
events
Solution
• Ensures that the PRACH configurations of an LTE
cell are unique within its neighborhood.
• Optimizes PRACH Allocations
