Self-X RAN: Autonomous self organizing radio access networks

"MeshUp": Self-organizing mesh-based topologies for next generation radio access networks

The phenomenal growth in wireless technologies has brought about a slew of new services. Incumbent with the new technology is the challenge of providing flexible, reconfigurable, self-organizing architectures which are capable of catering to the dynamics of the network, while providing cost-effective solutions for the service providers. In this paper, we focus on mesh-based multi-hop access net...

Self Organizing Network

As demand for wireless access to the Internet and Internet-based services is expanding, competitive advantages in the mobile business can be gained by offering enhanced user experience through costeffective broadband mobile access. A promising approach is to maximize total performance of networks, i.e., provide not only wireless access with higher performance but also more efficient operation a...

Mobile radio access network monitoring using the self-organizing map

Utilization of advanced analysis methods in UMTS networks

The scope of this paper is to introduce new analysis and visualization methods for WCDMA cellular networks. The proposed examples are mainly based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) method, but also other neural and statistical methods are equally applicable. The main motivation for advanced methods is to increase the abstraction level from the raw network measurements, i.e. radio access network ...

Harnessing Subscriber-Centric Optimization for the Next Generation of Self-Organizing Networks

White Paper Self-organizing networks (SON) have interested the cellular industry for many years. Work in this area started in 2006 at 3GPP with initial studies on the general concepts and requirements. There was a clear impetus to study SON—networks were becoming larger and more complex, and the maturing of 3G meant that operators had to grapple with the complexities of getting multiple radio a...
