Why SON? – Heterogeneous, Multiple Service Networks are too Complex to Manage Manually
Self-ConfigurationSeamlessly integrating into the network through automatic configuration of key parameters
Common Challenges Faced by High Density Cellular Networks
Quality Installations Network Monitoring Adaptation to changing environments
Proactive optimization
Key Capabilities of SON
Self-Organizing/Optimizing Network (SON) is an automation technology that enables the network to set itself up and self-manage resources and configuration to achieve optimal performance
SON helps in dealing with these challenges
Self-OptimizationEnhanced network performance through real time optimization of radio & network configuration
Self-HealingAllows adjacent cells to maintain network quality in case a node fails, providing resiliency
No longer humanly possible to effectively configure and optimize today’s complex heterogeneous networks!
Hundreds of Parameters & Thousands of Nodes
