3. Self Organized Network (SON)
SON is server based zonal tool optimization solution.
BSNL procured SON Servers for all four zones in PH VIII.4 project.
Few major functions that can be carried out using SON are
ANR (Automatic Neighbour Relation): Addition/deletion/update neighbour
definition.
Coverage Optimization: Optimizing coverage to compensate cell outage/traffic
management by adjusting antenna tilt (RET) and power.
RF Optimization like SC Reuse, PRACH Optimization, GSM Freq Optimization.
Sleeping Cell Resolution & Cross Antenna Detection.
4. Self Organized Network (SON)
Main Input Requirement:- Accurate site location (Lat-Long) and cell
azimuth is the key factor to get best results from SON.
SON can operate in Open loop & Close loop
In open loop, changes are not directly implemented by SON but it will
generate output in a file containing recommended changes.
In close loop, SON implements recommended changes automatically.

Crossed Antenna Detection result
Result contain name of cells (Source & Destination) which are crossed.
Confidence: Low/Medium/High indicates confirmation level of detected cross antenna.
19. Cell Outage Compensation Module
This module monitors the
target (Adjacent) cells for
outage. If outage is detected,
modifies the tilt and CPICH
power in increasing steps until
the cell is active again.
If congestion is detected on a
compensation cell after
mitigation, the mitigation is
reduced.
20. Cell Outage Compensation execution
Set the Parameters like
Antenna tilt/TxPower steps
Cell reset action request
Down time period, Include
manual downtime
Compensation cell frequency
layer: Same frequency or All
available frequency
Optimization goal: Voice or Data
Mode of execution: Open
loop/Close loop
21. Sleeping Cell Resolution Module
This module detects UMTS, LTE
cells that are sleeping due to
software defects, resets them
depending on how long they've
been off-air.
22. Sleeping Cell Resolution execution
Set the Parameters like
Number of consecutive
detections (15 min interval)
before resetting the cell
Reset count threshold
Reset window start & stop time
Mode of execution: Open
loop/Close loop

and fine-tuning various aspects of a mobile network,
ranging from neighbor relations and coverage to specific
RF parameters. This proactive approach helps enhance
the overall performance, efficiency, and reliability of the
network, ensuring a better user experience.
