Abstract
This letter presents a novel cell outage detection algorithm based on incoming handovers statistics. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is that it uses neighbor measurements that allow to detect outage in two cases. First, when the cell in outage is able to report performance indicators; second, when these indicators are not available because the base station is affected. To evaluate the proposed algorithm and compare it with other approaches, a set of tests has been carried out using an LTE simulator and in a live LTE network.
