Implementing and Operating Self-organizing
Networks (SON): Analysis and Case Studies for Mobile Network Operators
|
New and emerging classes of
mobile devices (smartphones, pc data cards, USB modems, consumer devices with
embedded wireless, machine-to-machine, etc.) are fostering explosive growth of
wireless data usage by public and enterprise users. As a result, wireless
service providers have to simultaneously support a growing number of
higher-bandwidth data applications and services on their networks.
Improving OSS for mobile cellular
networks is always a goal of wireless carriers and an important technology to
deploy is the so called Self Organizing Network (SON), which has been
introduced as part of the 3GPP LTE network framework. SON is expected to be
deployed over time and ultimately have a dramatically positive effect on
network operations and OSS as it will, among other things, automate certain
activates in order to save personnel costs and related costs of materials.
This research evaluates the
implementation and operation of SON. The report includes analysis and
case studies aimed at mobile network operators to help them identify and
understand the benefits as well as the challenges of implementation and
operation.
Target Audience:
- Mobile network operators
- Wireless device manufacturers
- Wireless infrastructure providers
- OSS/BSS vendors and service providers
- Network optimization service providers
- LTE application developers and service
integrators
- Managed service providers and service bureau
organizations
