We propose an outage compensation algorithm based on reconfiguring the surrounding cells to recover the users in the coverage hole, and provide an adequate capacity for the victim users. We propose the base station total transmission power and the mobility parameters as control parameters to achieve our compensation objective. Our algorithm targets maximizing the capacity of the victim MUEs; reducing the degradation in the compensating cells and the aggregate network capacity and maintaining the coverage of network cells during the compensation process on the downlink for homogenous LTE networks under a full load scenario The algorithm works in both frequency reuse one (FRone), and soft frequency reuse (SFR) networks. The SFR configuration has another degree of freedom that can be used to enhance the compensation performance.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm to rescue the victim users with minimal impact on the network performance
