Abstract
Systems and methods for computing a standardized composite gain metric value for each solution that has been previously deployed to fix degradation issues at cell sites or other wireless nodes is disclosed. The method selects a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), each of which is highly correlated to customer experience. For example, the method selects the following KPIs: traffic, numbers of users, Physical Resource Block (PRB) utilization, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), throughput, and so on. The method then assigns a weight to each KPI, such that the weight reflects each KPI's relative importance and ensures that the KPIs are not double counted. For each solution deployed at a cell site, the method computes values of the following composite gain metrics: weighted gain and offload index. The method then can rank the solutions based on the computed composite gain metric values so that an optimum solution can be selected.
