Introduction
Automatic neighbor relation (ANR), an important SingleSON feature, is deployed on the eCoordinator. Neighbor relations are classified into normal and abnormal neighbor relations. Missing and redundant neighboring cells are typical examples of abnormal neighbor relations. ANR can automatically detect and maintain abnormal neighbor relations. ANR can automatically detect neighboring cells including the missing and redundant neighboring cells, add or delete related neighbor relations, and adjust neighboring cell priorities. Huawei ANR provides three neighbor relation optimization modes: automatic optimization, scheduled optimization, and manual optimization. In automatic optimization mode, the eCoordinator automatically performs abnormal neighbor relation optimization upon detecting abnormal neighboring relations. In scheduled optimization mode, the eCoordinator automatically performs abnormal neighbor relation optimization at a specified time. In manual optimization mode, the eCoordinator performs neighbor relation optimization after customers determine whether to delete or add neighboring cells based on optimization suggestions provided by the eCoordinator. SRAN8.0 provides UMTS intra/inter-frequency ANR, UMTS-to-GSM ANR, and UMTS-to-LTE ANR.

Background
Why ANR is introduced
Wireless network architectures become more complicated and network operation and maintenance (O&M) requires higher costs and more efforts. To address this situation, Self-Organization Network (SON) is brought forward in the telecommunications industry to simplify manual network optimization, reduce workloads, and save operating expenses (OPEXs).
ANR, one of the self-optimization functions of SON, is used to simplify neighbor relation optimization and reduce workloads.
Neighbor relation optimization needs to performed frequently. The number of neighbor relations and handover types increase sharply, which makes management and maintenance of neighbor relations more difficult.
In this case, operators have to spend much money in optimizing neighbor relations. In addition, neighbor relation optimization becomes more difficult and requires more workloads on the SRAN network.
ANR is to simplify optimization of complex neighbor relations on the SingleRAN network and reduce labor costs.

Technical Principles
UMTS intra/inter-frequency ANR and UMTS-to-GSM ANR
3. Optimization suggestions 2. Neighbor relation analysis
The eCoordinator obtains measurement results of surrounding cell signal qualities from the MRs reported by UEs. Meanwhile, the RNC collects handoverrelated traffic counters. The eCoordinator analyzes MRs and sorts measured cells based on engineering parameters and RNC configuration data on networks. The eCoordinator determines whether to use the sequence as neighbor relation optimization suggestions. The eCoordinator exports optimization suggestions to the ANR task UI on the M2000 and modifies neighbor relations based on optimization methods.

Basic Principles for Optimizing Neighboring Cell Priorities
After the neighboring cell priority function is enabled, the eCoordinator sorts neighboring cells of the same type based on the number of handovers. The first 80% of neighboring cells are allowed to perform neighboring cell priority adjustment and the rest 20% of neighboring cells keep the neighboring cell priority unchanged. For the first 80% of neighboring cells:
If the handover success rate is greater than the upper threshold for the neighboring cell priority, the priorities of these neighboring cells increase (the highest priority is 0). If the handover success rate is between the upper and lower thresholds for the neighboring cell priority, the priorities of these neighboring cells keep unchanged. If the handover success rate is less than the lower threshold for the neighboring cell priority, the priorities of these neighboring cells decrease. The priorities of UTRAN intra-frequency neighboring cells decrease to 30 at most and the priorities of UMTS inter-frequency
neighboring cells and GSM inter-RAT neighboring cells decrease to 63 at most.

Benefits and Network Impact

Benefits

Neighbor relations are automatically optimized by processing MRs. No manual intervention is required. Neighbor relations are automatically configured and the workload for customers modifying neighbor relations is reduced. Suggestions for optimization neighbor relations do not need to be manually imported. MR information is directly collected and no drive test is required to obtain data, which reduces high drive test costs. In this way, UMTS intra/inter-frequency and inter-RAT neighbor relations are optimized, which paves way for optimal network performance. Network performance improves by increasing handover success rates and decreasing call drop rates.

Benefits and Network Impact

Network Impact
If the inter-frequency and UMTS-to-GSM neighboring cell detection switches are turned on, handover success rates and call drop rates may probabilistically affected because the time of measurement increased probabilistically. In the test on UMTS-to-GSM missing neighboring cells in Romania, the UMTS-to-GSM handover success rate decreases by 0.42% but no call drop decrease. In other tests, no KPI fluctuates significantly.
If the MR collection recording function on the RNC is enabled, CPU usage of the SPU increases. According to tests on live networks, absolute CPU usage of the SPU increases by 0.62% on a lightly-loaded network and by 3% on a heavily-loaded network.
To optimize UMTS-to-LTE neighbor relations, When UEs perform periodical inter-RAT

measurement, the call gapping (GAP) mode is enabled, those UEs with high throughput (average PRB resource utilization more than 75% per TTI) will be affected less then 25%, and there is no affect for low throughput UEs. The throughput of a cell that with multiple UEs will not be affected because of dispatch.

Prerequisites
Other Dependencies
This feature depends on accurate engineering parameters.
Only cell scramble codes are reported in the MR. To match cell IDs, engineering parameters are required. If engineering parameters are incorrect, cells matched may be wrong. For networking deployed by different vendors, inter-vendor engineering parameters need to be imported completely. UMTS-to-LTE ANR needs engineering parameters to select eNodeB lists to be measured. However, UMTS-to-LTE ANR does not require engineering parameters to match cell IDs.
The feature depends on RNC configuration data to obtain configuration

information of source and target cells.

Performance Evaluation
Assume that network conditions are the same before and after optimization. Enabling UMTS ANR has positive influence on UMTS intra/inter-frequency, UMTS-to-GSM, and UMTS-to-LTE handover success rates and call drop rates. Therefore, UMTS ANR performance can be monitored by monitoring the corresponding handover success rates and call drop rates.
Users can select methods of monitoring the corresponding handover success rates and call drop rates as required. Users can know which neighbor relations are modified by ANR by viewing
optimization logs and analyze modification accuracy by using engineering

parameters and maps.

A small parameter value indicates that the number of neighboring cells added by ANR is small. This parameter value can be adjusted as required. In dense urban areas, reduce the value; in suburban areas, raise the value; in urban areas, use the default value. This parameter value can be adjusted based on the number of UEs on live networks. If the number of UEs is large on live networks and missing neighboring cell optimization needs to be performed quickly, reduce the value. In the optimization cycle, if the number of MRs with the largest received signal strength in the source cell for a target cell is less than this threshold, the target cell is not automatically added as the neighboring cell of the source cell. This parameter value can be adjusted based on the total number of handover requests per day on live networks. If the number of UE handovers on live networks is large, reduce this value to improve the redundancy deletion efficiency. If this value is small, redundancy deletion conditions are strict and the possibility of deleting redundant neighboring cells is small. If this value is small, redundancy deletion conditions are strict and the possibility of deleting redundant neighboring cells is small.
