A system and method for automatic identification and optimization of overshooting cells

A system for automatic identification and correction/remediation of at least one overshooting cell [102], the system comprising:

• an input unit [304] configured to:
• receive at least one parameter associated with at least one cell [102], wherein
• the at least one parameter comprises a permissive void count threshold and at least one transmission parameter corresponding to a coverage area of the at least one cell [102],
• the at least one cell comprises at least one timing advance, and
• the at least one timing advance has a permissive range of operative user equipment;
• and
• an optimizer unit [306] configured to:
• identify the at least one timing advance as one of an active timing advance and a passive timing advance, wherein
• the active timing advance corresponds to the at least one timing advance with at least one operative user equipment, and
• the passive timing advance corresponds to the at least one timing advance without at least one operative user equipment,
• determine at least one of a UE count of the operative user equipment in the active timing advance and a void count of the passive timing advance in the at least one cell,
• identify the at least one cell [102] as the at least one overshooting cell, wherein the at least one overshooting cell [102] is identified based on comparison of at least one of:
• the UE count of the operative user equipment in the active timing advance with the permissive range of operative user equipment, and
• the void count of the passive timing advance with the permissive void count threshold;
• and
• modify the at least one transmission parameter to change the coverage area of the at least one overshooting cell [102].
