    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards jointly optimizing coverage, capacity, and layer balance in a wireless communications network while maintaining cell edge use device performance constraints. Aspects comprise monitoring edge user devices for performance information, and modifying the network based on the performance information, including jointly optimizing by changing antenna parameter data, layer balancing, handover biasing per cell neighbor pair, modifying scheduling priorities, and optimizing sector face harmonic throughput. Balancing uplink and downlink coverages are considered in the joint optimization. Further, interference is detected, predicted (as needed) and mitigated.
