Huawei Launches World's First ANR for Commercial Use

Huawei has announced the successful commercial launch of the Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) feature on LTE networks in Cologne, Germany. This release marks the first time that an ANR feature has been successfully launched on a commercial network in the world.
Deployed by Huawei, Cologne's LTE network was officially launched for commercial use in April, 2011. In October, 2011, Huawei began verifying ANR functions and features for use on the LTE network, including neighbour detection, automatic adding, and neighbour deletion. Now that the ANR feature has been in commercial operation for three months, it allows for the automatic management and optimisation of all neighbour relations without human intervention. It is also able to reach a handover success rate of 99 per cent when network performance is stable.
Within traditional GSM and UMTS networks, neighbour relations are managed and optimized manually, resulting in huge operation and maintenance costs.
As one feature of Huawei's SingleSON solution, ANR supports automatic management and optimization of neighbor relations for networks that feature multiple modes and layers.
