Future Connections NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp
Future Connections | Network Optimization
The NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp automatically detects network offenders (overshooters and undershooters) and applies iterative configuration changes (e.g. etilt adjustments) to optimise coverage. The rApp uses CM and PM data together with advanced geospatial analysis techniques and monitors continuous performance to prevent causing network degradation.
High detection accuracy
The use of network data together with geospatial analysis techniques allows the NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp to accurately identify the coverage area of any cell in the network. This, combined with a classification of the relevant neighbours by tier, enables precise traffic distribution insights, ensuring an accurate identification of offender cells.
Robust provisioning
The NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp applies network configuration adjustments to address coverage issues, continuously monitoring the performance of the affected cells and of their neighbours to ensure no degradation. In case of degradation or any type of inconsistency, cells are blacklisted and changes can be rolled back to the original value. In addition, low-band cells, critical for coverage assurance, receive a more delicate treatment to minimise the risk of dark spots.
Customer configuration
The NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp offers users full control to easily adjust the parameters of the algorithm, making it adaptable to any type of network. Users can modify the algorithm’s aggressiveness, balancing the speed and impact of each iteration to suit different network conditions. Such flexibility ensures that the NIx Coverage Optimiser rApp can operate effectively across diverse regions and network types, minimising risks while optimising performance based on the specific needs of the operator.
