Apparatus and method for automatically performing network optimization process in mobile communication system

A method for performing a network optimization process in an evolved Node B (eNB) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving an UpLink (UL) signal from a device in which a drive test is performed;
• estimating Radio Frequency (RF) status for the UL signal, and transmitting a message including UL RF status information indicating the estimated RF status for the UL signal to a UL RF information collecting server;
• receiving, from the UL RF information collecting server, a message including the UL RF status information which the eNB transmits and UL RF status information which at least one neighbor eNB transmits;
• and
• transmitting the received message to an analysis and optimization server.

An evolved Node B (eNB) in a mobile communication system, the eNB comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive an UpLink (UL) signal from a device in which a drive test is performed;
• a controller configured to estimate Radio Frequency (RF) status for the UL signal;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit a message including UL RF status information indicating the estimated RF status for the UL signal to a UL RF information collecting server,
• wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a message including the UL RF status information which the eNB transmits and UL RF status information which at least one neighbor eNB transmits from the UL RF information collecting server, and
• wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the received message to an analysis and optimization server.
