The key takeaways are explaining the process of LTE RAN tuning, describing the difference between tuning and optimization, and describing the different steps in the tuning process.

Tuning is performed when all nodes are operational but not yet commercially used or when new sites are installed, while optimization is performed when the radio network has been tuned and there are sufficient subscribers generating traffic to identify and solve problems in live networks.

The initial tuning process involves preparation and planning, data collection through drive testing, post processing of data, analysis, change proposals, reporting, and change verification.

RAN Services
Tuning is performed when:
› all nodes in the cluster are
operational but not yet commercially
used
› new sites are installed in already
commercially launched areas.

Optimization is performed when:


› the radio network has been tuned
and there are sufficient subscribers
generating traffic in order to identify
and solve problems in live networks

Initial Tuning
Target: Prepare the air interface and troubleshoot system
issues to achieve the best end-user experience.

› Resolve hardware installation issues.


› Resolve parameter integrity issues.
› Improve design and end user experience. This includes:
– Availability of service (coverage)
– Mobility
– Throughput
– Latency and bottlenecks in the system
– Reliability (BLER)

› Improve cell capacity. The aim is to maximise SINR and highest


modulation in order to achieve the best throughput per resource block

RAN Optimization
› Identifies and solve radio network problems
› Establishes subscriber behavior and perception
› Ensures that traffic growth can be handled
