Individual cell's radio parameters, such as antenna tilt, power, and so forth PCIDs for each cell Any preconfigurations pertaining to interference cancellations (like frequency restrictions) Root sequence index CHAPTER 2 SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS IN LTE DEPLOYMENT Handover-related settings (frequency offset, cell individual offsets for each neighbor, hysteresis, etc.) Blacklist or whitelist cells Transmission mode (transmit diversity or spatial multiplexing) Automatic inventory management. Automatic inventory management enables the element management system to collect and maintain information about the components within the eNodeBs in an automated manner. Typically the inventory data will consist of: Serial number and other manufacturing information Identification of all field replaceable units Firmware and component inventories All software inventories Typically, the inventory information is uploaded to the network element in an automated manner and will be looked up during the these events: When an eNodeB is initially commissioned When a change is made to the eNodeB When an operator needs this information Automatic interface setup. This step would involve the eNodeB in performing S1 setup with the configured MME and X2 setups with its neighbors. Upon success of these setups, it informs the element management system about its operational state. PCID Allocation Every cell in the network must be assigned one of 504 physical-layer cell identity (PCID) values (0-503). PCID values can be reused as long as no conflicts exist. The PCID assignment function automatically assigns PCID values to enable a newly commissioned eNodeB. The PCID allocation SON functionality should be able to support several high level functions, including: Initial assignment of temporary PCID values Transition to permanent PCID values following SON convergence Collision-free PCID value allocation procedure by the SON (i.e., the direct neighbors should not be using the same PCID values) Confusion-free PCID value allocation procedure by the SON (i.
