Performance Improvement in Wireless Communications Networks

A method for improving performance in a wireless communications network, the method comprising a network node:

• acquiring an identification of a set of cells for which adjustment is needed;
• identifying a reason for the adjustment and improvement possibilities of the set of cells using at least one indicator, wherein the reason and the improvement possibilities define a combination of which parameters and network nodes that could be adjusted;
• and
• determining an improvement action for the set of cells by jointly optimizing the combination of parameters and network nodes based on the reason and the improvement possibilities.

A network node for improving performance in a wireless communications network, the network node comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to cause the network node to perform a set of operations comprising:
• acquiring an identification of a set of cells for which adjustment is needed;
• identifying a reason for the adjustment and improvement possibilities of the set of cells using at least one indicator, wherein the reason and the improvement possibilities define a combination of which parameters and network nodes that could be adjusted;
• and
• determining an improvement action for the set of cells by jointly optimizing the combination of parameters and network nodes based on the reason and the improvement possibilities.

A computer program product stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium for improving performance in a wireless communications network, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when run on processing circuitry of a network node, causes the network node to:

• acquire an identification of a set of cells for which adjustment is needed;
• identify a reason for the adjustment and improvement possibilities of the set of cells using at least one indicator, wherein the reason and the improvement possibilities define a combination of which parameters and network nodes that could be adjusted;
• and
• determine an improvement action for the set of cells by jointly optimizing the combination of parameters and network nodes based on the reason and the improvement possibilities.
