ABSTRACT

Today, in order to build and maintain highly reliable high-performance networks, we have to face the challenge of the mobile radio networks and complex operational tasks. With the introduction of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, operators have the opportunity to optimize their network management operations and reduce their operational expenses. e self-organizing network (SON) is the technical solution to achieve management of complexity in networks and thus provide operating expense (OPEX) reduction and revenue protection. e SON is the combination of several functions in different areas (configuration, optimization, healing).
