3GPP SON Series: An Introduction to Self-Organizing Networks (SON)
0 likes1,295 views
Self-organizing networks (SON) aim to simplify and speed up network deployment, optimize networks more easily, and make maintenance and issue identification more efficient. SON reduces costs and improves quality of experience for users. SON has three stages: self-configuration for faster rollout, self-optimization for ongoing performance improvements, and self-healing for autonomous failure mitigation and maintenance.

What is SON? ©3G4G • Self-Organizing Networks (often referred to as Self-Optimizing Networks but Self-Optimization is part of SON) are designed to: • Make network deployments simpler & faster • Make network optimization easier • Make network issues identification & maintenance more efficient • SON: • Improves the end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) • Reduces Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx)
