Reference Guide
1-24
• Plug & Play self-configuration based on TR-069
• Automatic authentication of Apex Lifestyle Small Cell
• Automatic download and activation of the Apex Lifestyle Small Cell operating
parameters, operating profile, firmware and configuration file.
• Self-configuration using the TR-069 and the AeMS
• Unique HW-ID per node for the correct HW identification and network
configuration
• RACH Optimization:
— This SON function is related with the RACH channel configuration for
maximizing the access probability to the system, using UE measurement
reports, X2 based UE information and the sniffer.
— Dynamic Inter-Cell Interference Management (DICIM): This SON func-
tion addresses minimizing the overall interference of the network, by
means of using different Interference Management algorithms.
— This SON function addresses minimizing the overall interference of the
network, by means of using different Interference Management algorithms.
— Self-Configuration of parameters like the RACH Root Sequence Index for
being able to decode PRACH even if the RACH accesses were made on the
same time/ frequency
• REM (Radio Environment Measurements) support using the sniffer. The Apex
Lifestyle Small Cell can search using a pre-configured list of EARFCNs.
• Root SeqIndex (RSI):
— Support Automatic RSI assignment
— Automated Detection & Resolution of RSI conflict
• PCI: This SON function, on the Apex Lifestyle Small Cell, is highly related with
the ANRF SON function, and performs the following:
— Initial Automatic Physical Cell ID (PCI) planning for new LTE eNodeB
— PCI Collision and Confusion: Automated Detection & Resolution elimi-
nates the need for manual optimization efforts.
