Abstract:
Certain features relate to systems and methods for jointly optimizing a radio access network (RAN) and distributed antenna system (DAS). A joint RAN-DAS self-optimizing network (SON) entity can determine target parameters based on parameters specific to the DAS and parameters specific to the RAN. The joint RAN-DAS-SON entity can optimize the RAN and DAS using the target parameters. Jointly optimizing the RAN and the DAS can improve the capacity characteristics, coverage characteristics, or the performance characteristics of the RAN and DAS. In some aspects, the joint RAN-DAS-SON entity can optimize the RAN and DAS by re-allocating power levels of downlink signals transmitted by remote units of the DAS to compensate for underutilized carrier signals in situations of low traffic load.

Claim (Index 1):
A joint radio access network-distributed antenna system-self-optimizing network (RAN-DAS-SON) entity, comprising:\n a first interface configured to receive a first set of parameters from one or more nodes of a first radio access network; a second interface configured to receive a second set of parameters from one or more nodes of a second radio access network different from the first radio access network; a third interface configured to receive a third set of parameters from a unit of a distributed antenna system; and a processing device configured to:\n determine target parameters for the one or more nodes of the first radio access network, the one or more nodes of the second radio access network, and one or more nodes of the distributed antenna system based on the first set of parameters, the second set of parameters, and the third set of parameters; and \n provide instructions to adjust one or more configuration settings of at least one node of the distributed antenna, at least one node of the first radio access network, and at least one node of the second radio access network based on the target parameters.
