A Self Organizing Network (SON) scheme monitors certain Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and responds by adjusting system control parameters. Multiple SON schemes may have related KPIs or use the same control parameters. This leads these schemes and their use cases to interact either constructively or destructively. In this paper, we study these interactions between three SON use cases all aiming at improving the overall handover procedure in LTE femtocell networks. These use cases are namely: handover self optimization, call admission control self optimization and load balancing self optimization. This work is motivated by the lack of interaction studies conducted so far between these three self optimization use cases. First, we have surveyed related individual scheme proposals in order to identify schemes which represent these three use cases in our interaction study. Then, several interaction experiments are conducted in realistic scenarios using our in-house built and LTE-compliant simulation environment. We conclude by drawing guidelines that we believe can help designers realize better coordination policies between these three handover-related SON use cases.
