3 Justification *
SON uses cases are described in LTE TR 36.902. In Release 8 first functions to cover use cases had been implemented, and
this work should be continued in Release 9.
Different SON use cases will be relevant at different times of NW operation, e.g. during initial roll-out, early phases of
operation, or operation of a mature NW with high load. For Release 9 the technical work should focus on the needed
solutions for LTE introduction.
Technical solutions for the goals and requirements should be based on existing measurements wherever possible.
4 Objective *
It is proposed to work on technical solutions for use cases contained in TR 36.902 and with particular relevance to early
phases of network roll-out and operation, i.e.:
 Coverage and Capacity optimization

Note: the use case includes interference reduction techniques in TR 36.902
 Mobility Load balancing optimization

 Mobility Robustness optimization
 RACH Optimisation
SON aspects that are specific of closed or hybrid access are not covered by this WI.
Decisions shall be based on quantitative evaluations in cases there are alternative technical solutions. Priority should be
given to solutions based on the existing UE measurements and procedures.
The required activities to achieve these objectives include:
 refine the use-case level requirements (review current status of the use cases in TR 36.902),
 define evaluation scenarios, if necessary,
 identify system functions to serve the use cases,
 provide stage 2 specification,
 provide stage 3 specification,
 If needed, define O&M requirements for radio-related functions to be performed in the O&M domain,
 contact any other TSG/WG if impact in their domain is encountered.
