With the current explosion in network traffic, and mounting pressure on operators' business
case, Self-Organizing Networks (SON) play a crucial role. They are conceived to minimize …

Self-Organizing Networks (SON) are currently being introduced by the 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) as part of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system as a key driver …

Covering the key functional areas of LTE Self-Organising Networks (SON), this book
introduces the topic at an advanced level before examining the state-of-the-art concepts …

Abstract Self-Organizing Network (SON) stands for a key concept characterizing the
behavior of the future mobile networks. The evolution of telecom infrastructures towards 5G …

Future wireless networks will be Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet), as they will comprise
multiple Radio Access Technologies (RAT) and network architectures. The complexity of …

We describe self-organizing network (SON) concepts and architectures and their potential to
play a central role in 5G deployment and next-generation networks. Our focus is on the basic …

Self-Organizing Networks (SON) is a common term for mobile network automation, critical to
the cost-efficient deployment, operation and maintenance of mobile networks. This article …

As every mobile network, LTE (Long Term Evolution) system also needs to be managed.
Since LTE is an evolvement of UMTS, the management should also evolve from UMTS …

Self-organization as applied to cellular networks is usually referred to Selforganizing
Networks (SONs), and it is a key driver for improving Operations, Administration, and …

Inspired by swarm intelligence observed in social species, the artificial self-organized
networking (SON) systems are expected to exhibit some intelligent features (eg, flexibility …
