An Automatic Neighbour Relations Reality Check

With service providers investing heavily in advanced LTE and 5G technologies, skyrocketing cell growth magnifies technical complexities and creates long-term productivity challenges for RAN teams responsible for assuring subscriber handover performance.

As neighbouring cell relationships are at the center of call retainability and end-user service quality, service providers rely on Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) functionality to avoid time-consuming and manual configuration tasks.

Unfortunately, most traditional ANR solutions fall short when it comes to accurately reflecting and assuring the subscriber experience.

In this session NETSCOUT technology experts will:

• Examine the business and customer impacts of cell neighbour under- and over-provisioning.
• Identify the common pitfalls associated with conventional ANR methods.
• Explore the benefits of a vendor-agnostic solution with stateful analysis and advanced data sets for machine-learning objectives.
• Outline the importance of “re-farming” and reprovisioning to serve changing coverage and capacity goals.

Join us September 13, 2023 as we kick off our Mission Possible RAN webinar series with a reality check on neighbour cell performance analysis.
