Abstract

A method and application server for dynamically determining a Reference Signal (RS) Power Boost level in a radio telecommunication network. The application server may be a Self-Optimized Network (SON) application server configured to received network performance information from Performance Management (PM) counters and configuration information from a configuration database server. The application server monitors a plurality of network Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), compares the KPIs to associated thresholds, and derives and assigns values to KPI threshold factors. The server calculates a scaling factor based on values of the KPI threshold factors, and calculates a dynamic RS Power Boost level by applying the scaling factor to a baseline RS Power Boost level.
