Abstract:
A method for optimizing capacity and coverage in a target area of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) cellular network. In some aspects, the performance of the higher-generation RAT and that of the lower-generation RAT are each evaluated in order to optimize the capacity and coverage of the higher-generation RAT.

Claim (Index 1):
A method to be implemented in a computing device, the method comprising:\n identifying multi-RAT sectors in the multi-RAT cellular network, each multi-RAT sector corresponding to at least a first cell that supports a first RAT and a second cell that supports a second RAT but that does not support the first RAT, the first and second cells being co-located and having cell azimuths within an acceptance margin of one another; analyzing multi-RAT sector key performance indicators (KPIs) of each multi-RAT sector to determine one or more worst-performing multi-RAT sectors, the multi-RAT sector KPIs including (1) a ratio of first RAT-capable UE traffic in an RRC connected state served by all second RAT carrier(s) belonging to the multi-RAT sector to all UEs served in second RAT carriers in the RRC connected state (Served % NotOnFirstRAT); identifying a cellular network geographical problem area having second RAT cellular coverage but not having first RAT cellular coverage, the cellular network geographical problem area identified for the one or more worst-performing multi-RAT sectors based, at least in part, on geographical bin KPIs for a geographical subset of the one or more worst-performing multi-RAT sectors; and updating configuration parameters of one or more cells of each worst-performing multi-RAT sector that support the first RAT to improve a signal level in each cellular network geographical problem area.
