Abstract

A method for operating a base station is provided. The method includes in response to a triggering event, fetching information on a base station (BS) configuration parameters comprising a location, a height, an antenna pattern, and topographical details surrounding the BS; determining the BS configuration parameters that are error prone and require re-estimation; obtain measurement reports created by at least one user equipment (UE); determining an audit method to perform an audit correction, the audit correction based on the one or more of the BS configuration parameters to re-estimate, available BS information and the measurement reports; performing the audit correction, to obtain a result based on a computed score for each candidate value of the BS configuration parameters; generating, based on the result, one or more corrective actions; and adjusting at least one of the BS configuration parameters based on the one or more corrective actions.
