A Cell Outage Compensation Mechanism in Self-Organizing RAN

Cell Outage Management (COM) is a functionality aiming to automatically detect and mitigate outages that occur in radio networks due to unexpected failures. In this paper, we assume that future Radio Access Networks (RAN) can autonomously detect an outage based on measurements, then we propose a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based mechanism for Cell Outage Compensation (COC). COC is achieved by a GA- based COC mechanism. Simulation results showed that with GA, the network performance degradation is minimized.
