Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a self-optimizing network (SON) coordination module that includes a conflict detection module configured to receive operational information from at least one capacity and coverage optimization (CCO) module and at least one of an energy savings management (ESM) and/or a cell outage compensation (COC) module, wherein the at least one CCO module and the at least one of the ESM module and/or the COC module are associated with at least one eNodeB (eNB) in communication with the conflict detection module. The conflict detection module is configured to determine a conflict between operational information of the CCO module and at least one of the ESM module and/or the COC module. The SON coordination module also includes a conflict resolution module configured to resolve a conflict between the operational information of the CCO module and at least one of the ESM module and/or the COC module based on, at least in part, one or more conflict resolution rules.

Claim (Index 14):
An eNodeB (eNB) apparatus, comprising:\n a capacity and coverage optimization (CCO) circuit to maximize the coverage area of a cell covered by the eNB and maximize the number of User Equipments (UEs) within the cell covered by the eNB based on, at least in part, downlink transmit power, antenna tilt or antenna azimuth of the cell; and one of: an energy savings management (ESM) circuit to control an energy saving state of a cell covered by the eNB; or a cell outage compensation (COC) circuit to compensate for an outage of a cell covered by the eNB; wherein the CCO circuit is to transmit first operational information to a network manager (NM) and the ESM circuit or the COC circuit is to transmit second operational information to the NM, the NM to communicate with the eNB; wherein:\n the first operational information of the CCO circuit comprises a status indicator; \n the status indicator is to indicate that the CCO circuit is in an active state or a passive state; \n the active state is associated with performance of an SON operation; and \n the passive state associated with completion of an SON operation.
