Introduction to Cluster Optimization
![Page 6: Cluster Optimization Procedure V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042702/55cf9133550346f57b8b7467/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cluster Optimization Test Entrance Criteria Cluster Definition Minimum of 20 to 30 eNB’s
Contiguous coverage
Can cross TA boundaries
Test entrance criteria At least 80% of the eNB’s in the
test cluster shall have passed SCFT and shall have compliance with EMF norms
SCFT and EMF compliance report for each eNB for the test cluster has to be verified
Any changes to the eNB physical configuration required for EMF compliance shall be updated in the cluster database

Cluster Optimization High-level Process
Drive 1
• First cluster drive after 80 % of the sites pass SCFT & EMF
Optimization
• Post-analysis changes to network
Drive 2
• Second Drive Test result will be compared with the first Drive Test for worst areas by measuring entire signal environment after change in System Parameters and adjustments of Antenna

Drive Route Selection
UE should be served by all sectors of every eNB in the cluster
Include highways, major and minor roads in the cluster
Route should represent potential subscriber usage locations
Should not leave the designed coverage area for the cluster
First and second drive routes should remain identical
Conditions (e.g. UE position) should be identical between drives
Do not cross 40 kmph
![Page 9: Cluster Optimization Procedure V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042702/55cf9133550346f57b8b7467/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SCFT + Cluster Drive Case
Suppose an eNB comes on-air after the rest of the cluster
For that site, SCFT & Cluster optimization drive test should be done till first tier neighbors for the site
![Page 10: Cluster Optimization Procedure V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042702/55cf9133550346f57b8b7467/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Drive Route for late on-air site
B B
1. Drive route for Cluster when Site B is not on Air
2. Drive route for Sub Cluster after Site B is on Air

Tests to be conducted
FTP Downlink Long Call
FTP Uplink Long Call
VoLTE Long Call
VoLTE Short Call 4 UE’s : 1 Master, 3 Slaves
![Page 13: Cluster Optimization Procedure V1](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042702/55cf9133550346f57b8b7467/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FTP Downlink Long Call Ensure that OCNS is enabled for all eNBs in the cluster with 76% downlink load Ensure that the UE is successfully attached to the LTE network Select the appropriate UE and download the FTP DL Scenario from FMS Start the Autocall test. FTP download uses a single file with the highest possible compression and file size of 8GB. (Attach to detach - 60 min & 10 Sec Idle time) Ensure that the log files are being captured Start traversing around the pre-defined drive route at 30-40 Kmph, continuing the FTP download and reinitiating in case of call drop At the end of the drive route stop the logging and ensure that the log files are uploaded
