“…For cellular networks, most of the prior research works on optimisation of network parameters [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] use different definitions of a given KPI, for example, coverage and capacity [19][20][21][22][23][24][25], QoS [26,27], cost-efficiency [28] or energy efficiency [16,[29][30][31], to optimise a single network parameter, for example, BS location [14,30,32,34], or few other parameters such as antenna tilts [22], sectorisation [15,33] and frequency reuse [17,18]. Moreover, these KPIs metrics to be used by the SON engine should be able to quantify the long-term average performance of a cellular system by incorporating its dependencies on NTC parameters, while generalizing or averaging out the short-term dynamics of cellular eco-system.…”
