In this paper, a survey of the literature of the past 15 years involving machine learning (ML)
algorithms applied to self-organizing cellular networks is performed. In order for future …

In mobile networks emergence of failures is caused by various breakdowns of hardware and
software elements. One of the serious failures in radio networks is a Sleeping Cell. In our …

This paper provides a scheme for self-configuration of a neighbor cell list (NCL) in long term
evolution (LTE) systems. Especially, an initial NCL configuration scheme is proposed. In …

Frequent handover is a key challenge in 5G Ultra-Dense Networks (UDN). In this paper, we
show the significance of configuring Neighbor Cell List (NCL) in handover procedure. To …

This paper examines the problems due to the deployment of a new base station in a cellular
network. In particular, an algorithm for the automatic discovery ofthe neighboring cells is …

Deployment of small cells into existing mobile networks can improve throughput and users'
quality of service. However, the new tier composed of small cells raises problems related to …

To select appropriate target cell for handover if a user is moving, cells in user's
neighborhood must be scanned and their signal quality must be measured by a User …

Mobile WiMAX faces challenge of developing base station with self-configuration feature.
This paper studies the algorithms of self-configuring neighbour cell list (NCL) for the WiMAX …

In this paper, we propose an optimization of Neighbor Cell List (NCL) management
algorithm. The goal is to minimize a number of scanned cells for handover purposes while a …

The explosive growth of cellular networks makes their deployment and maintenance more
and more complex, time consuming, and expensive. Self-Organizing Networks have been …
