COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT IN E-UTRA NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A network management (NM) apparatus comprising:
- receiver circuitry to;
receive data representative of a first radio link failure (RLF) report, the first RLF report including information related to a disconnection of a first user equipment (UE) from an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN), andreceive data representative of a second RLF report, the second RLF report including information related to a disconnection of a second UE from the E-UTRAN;
coverage analysis circuitry to identify a hole in a coverage area of the E-UTRAN based at least in part on the first and second RLF reports; and
corrective action circuitry to perform an automated coverage and capacity optimization (CCO) action to reconfigure cell resources of the E-UTRAN based on the identified hole.

Abstract
Embodiments of systems and techniques for coverage adjustment in evolved universal terrain radio access networks (E-UTRANs) are described. In some embodiments, a network management (NM) apparatus may receive data representative of first and second radio link failure (RLF) reports including information related to respective disconnections of first and second user equipment (UEs) from an E-UTRAN. The NM apparatus may identify a hole in a coverage area of the E-UTRAN based at least in part on the first and second RLF reports, and may perform an automated coverage and capacity optimization (CCO) action to reconfigure cell resources of the E-UTRAN based on the identified hole. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
