699ad02187bf647b5eb56590cc3d2f79
37.816
5.1.1 Use case description
Coverage and Capacity Optimization (CCO) is one of the typical operational tasks to optimize the radio access network (RAN). CCO has been identified as a key use case for SON since LTE, which aims to provide the required capacity in the targeted coverage areas and to minimize the interference and maintain an acceptable...

37.816
5.1.2 Solution description
Solutions for CCO are based on the capability to adapt cell/beam coverage to achieve better system performance. Solutions can be generalized as made of two components: - Detection of coverage and/or capacity issue - Action to resolve the issue Generally, there are two types of network coverage adjustment, i.e. long ter...

5.1.2.1 Detection of Coverage and Capacity Issues
To detect coverage and capacity issues not only information about failure cases are needed but also information about successful events. For example, a sub-optimal coverage planning between neighbour cells may not always imply that UEs handing over between these cells are subject to RLFs. Nevertheless, the handover may...

5.1.2.2 Possible actions to resolve detected issues
Solution 1: Once the CCO function has a good understanding of the coverage and capacity status of the cells/beams at its hosting RAN node and possibly at neighbouring nodes, the CCO function can trigger a corrective action to address such issue. For the disaggregated gNB scenario, the gNB-CU should provide relevant inf...

5.1.3 Conclusion
RAN3 has concluded the analysis of the CCO function and agreed that solutions in line with the description in the above clause can be moved to normative phase.

699ad02187bf647b5eb56590cc3d2f79
37.816
5.2.1 Use case description
Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) is assigned to each cell to help UE distinguish wireless signals of different cells. The selection of PCI is one of the first use cases that have been introduced in SON, in order to ensure that PCI collision does not happen or are minimized. In LTE, the eNB base the selection of its PCI e...

5.2.2 Solution description
The NG-RAN node (non-split) bases the selection of its PCI either on a centralized or distributed PCI assignment algorithm. In the split gNB architecture, there are several options for the PCI selection. A non-exhaustive list of possible option is reported below. Details about which option will be selected for normativ...

5.2.3 Conclusion
The following features and solutions are recommended to be specified for NR PCI selection function as part of a Rel.16 RAN-centric DCU WI: - Centralized PCI assignment and distributed PCI assignment for non-split gNB and split gNB. - The solution down-selection for split gNB case will be decided in normative phase.

5.3.2.2 Inter-system Unnecessary HO
Failure events definition UE is handed over from NG-RAN to other system (e.g. UTRAN) even though quality of the NG-RAN coverage was sufficient for the service used by the UE. The handover may therefore be considered as unnecessary HO to another system (too early Inter-system HO without connection failure) Detection mec...
