Self-Organisation in Future Mobile Communication Networks (pdf)

Abstract:
A vision is presented regarding the use of self-organisation methods (selfoptimisation, self-configuration, self-healing) as a promising opportunity to automate wireless access network planning and optimisation. Key objectives are a substantial reduction of the operational expenditure and an enhancement of network coverage, resource utilisation and service quality. The fundamental drivers for the deployment of self-organisation methods are discussed, considering both the technology and the market perspective. The distinction and interactions between the different components of self-organisation are outlined and the expected gains are discussed. An overview of the current state of the art in this field is followed by a formulation of the main challenges in the development of effective and reliable methods for self-organisation.
