1. A method of determining a set of preferred base station configuration parameters for a base station by a self-organizing network (SON) server, comprising:
- receiving an indication from the base station;
generating a plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters;
sending the plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters to the base station;
testing each of the plurality of sets of base station configuration parameters, comprising;
signaling the base station to broadcast a radio signal, wherein the base station is configured with the set of base station configuration parameters being tested;
signaling one or more neighboring base stations to collect a set of measurements in response to the broadcasted radio signal; and
receiving the set of measurements from the one or more neighboring base stations;
determining a preferred set of base station configuration parameters based on the sets of measurements; and
transmitting the preferred set of base station configuration parameters to the base station.
