Abstract

A joint optimization module (jointly optimizing MRO and MLB) includes: (a) an interpolator receiving a measurement report containing: signal strength/quality values, other performance indicator values, and load values reported by each base station; identifying one or more time instances that lack measurements (of signal strength/quality, performance indicator, or load values), and interpolating values for such time instances; (b) a storage unit storing the received measurement report and interpolated measurement values; (c) a MLB unit receiving the measurement report and outputting optimized HO parameters from a load balancing perspective to an optimizer; (d) a MRO unit receiving the measurement report and outputting optimized HO parameters based on reducing HO related link failures; and (e) an optimizer optimizing, jointly for both MLB and MRO, one or more HO parameters per user group based on the stored measurement reports and interpolated measurement values, the MLB module output, and the MRO module output.
