LTE Self-Organising Networks (SON)

Beschreibung

Covering the key functional areas of LTE Self-Organising Networks(SON), this book introduces the topic at an advanced level beforeexamining the state-of-the-art concepts. The required background onLTE network scenarios, technologies and general SON concepts isfirst given to allow readers with basic knowledge of mobilenetworks to understand the detailed discussion of key SONfunctional areas (self-configuration, -optimisation, -healing).Later, the book provides details and references for advancedreaders familiar with LTE and SON, including the latest status of3GPP standardisation. Based on the defined next generation mobile networks (NGMN) and3GPP SON use cases, the book elaborates to give the full picture ofa SON-enabled system including its enabling technologies,architecture and operation. "Heterogeneous networks"including different cell hierarchy levels and multiple radio accesstechnologies as a new driver for SON are also discussed. * Introduces the functional areas of LTE SON (self-optimisation,-configuration and -healing) and its standardisation, alsogiving NGMN and 3GPP use cases * Explains the drivers, requirements, challenges, enablingtechnologies and architectures for a SON-enabled system * Covers multi-technology (2G/3G) aspects as well as core networkand end-to-end operational aspects * Written by experts who have been contributing to thedevelopment and standardisation of the LTE self-organising networksconcept since its inception * Examines the impact of new network architectures("Heterogeneous Networks") to network operation, forexample multiple cell layers and radio access technologies
