Optimization of a mobile network, performed by adjusting a proactive scheduling functionality in a target cell of the mobile network based on load in the target cell, wherein the proactive scheduling functionality is configured by a proactive scheduling parameter that defines a period of time over which an uplink connection is kept alive after sending the last bit of uplink data; responsive to the load in the target cell exceeding a first threshold, disabling the proactive scheduling functionality; responsive to the load in the target cell being below a second threshold, configuring the proactive scheduling parameter to a default value or gradually increasing the proactive scheduling parameter value; and responsive to the load in the target cell being between the first threshold and the second threshold, keeping the current proactive scheduling parameter value.

Optimization of a mobile network

A method for providing measurement-based new radio (NR) coverage map includes obtaining, from a radio network, a user equipment data; obtaining a first information corresponding to a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) minimization of driving test (MDT); obtaining a second information corresponding to an LTE-NR event; combining the first information and the second information to provide a network performance information; and determining, based on the user equipment data and the network performance information, a location information corresponding to the NR coverage. Disclosed also is a system for providing measurement-based new radio (NR) coverage map.

Method and system for providing measurement-based new radio coverage map

A computer implemented method for uplink power control in a mobile network. The method is performed by obtaining () signal to interference and noise ratio, SINR, of a first cell of the mobile network; comparing () the SINR to current uplink power parameter of the first cell; determining () a new value for the uplink power parameter based on the comparison so that, if the SINR is higher than the current uplink power parameter, the current uplink power parameter is increased to obtain the new value for the uplink power parameter, and if the SINR is lower than the current uplink power parameter, the current uplink power parameter is decreased to obtain the new value for the uplink power parameter; and providing () the determined new value of the uplink power parameter for use in uplink power control of the first cell.

Example embodiments may relate to detection of overshooting cells in a radio network. A computer-implemented method may comprise: communicating data traffic via a first cell of a first access node of a communication network, wherein a sector of the first access node comprises the first cell and a second cell of the first access node; restricting amount of data traffic communicated via the first cell; and determining that a third cell of a second access node is overshooting, in response to determining, after restricting the amount of data traffic communicated via the first cell, that at least part of the data traffic is communicated via the third cell and not via the second cell.

Overshooter detection in a radio network based on restriction of data traffic

A computer implemented method for optimizing directions of antennas of a base station of a communications network is provided. The method includes receiving antenna sector configuration data with sector information of each antenna and an azimuth angle of a main antenna direction of each antenna; receiving performance indicators of multiple subsectors of each antenna sector; calculating a cost function value indicating inter-sector impact between neighboring subsectors of adjacent sectors based on the performance indicators for the current antenna configuration and for at least one other possible antenna configuration; and identifying an antenna configuration yielding minimum cost function value of the calculated values as an optimized antenna configuration.
