Self-healing mechanism with RSRP measurement in LTE network

LTE network optimization becomes an important part of the operation and maintenance procedures. Mobile operators need to reduce the number of errors, such as degradation or outage to provide quality services from the network. Automation is one of the challenges in making operation and maintenance procedures simpler. Self-healing is a domain of Self-Organizing Network (SON) which aims to detect, recover and compensate for the outage as well as possible. This study discusses the simulation of self-healing mechanism on LTE network, using RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) parameter measurement. In this study the simulation is done using MATLAB R2016a software. The results show that the forward traffic that can not be served in the first simulation with SINR value of 13dB and 16dB is 49.72%. While the second simulation with higher SINR value that is equal to 18dB and 21dB which influence the increase in RSRP value, hence the percentage of average of forward traffic that can not be served decrease 0,94%. In the third simulation with a lower SINR value of 8dB and 11dB that affect the decrease in RSRP value, the percentage of forward traffic that can not be served to increase 1.01%.
