SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS
SELF-PLANNING, SELF-OPTIMIZATION AND SELF-HEALING FOR GSM, UMTS AND LTE



Densification of the network, smaller cells and more heterogeneous networks (HetNets) are coming rapidly. We anticipate that this ongoing change will bring more multi-standard demands and multi-vendor challenges. Efficient and effective operations must overcome such complexity,which is growing not linearly, but by factors. The only way these challenges can be cost-effectively,efficiently and humanely overcome is through the use of more automated and autonomous systems – such as Self-Organizing Networks (SON), and that is what this book is all about.
