Self-organizing networks (SON) have interested the cellular industry for many years. Work in this area started in 2006 at 3GPP with initial studies on the general concepts and requirements. There was a clear impetus to study SON—networks were becoming larger and more complex, and...

Mobile network operators face multiple challenges in today’s hyperconnected world. These include enhancing the use of radio resources, simplifying network management and reducing total cost of ownership. To address these challenges, a self-optimizing network is one of the most valuable and promising technologies. Without...

Software is becoming an increasingly important part of telecommunication networks and deployments as both wired and wireless carriers look to add functionality to operations while increasing simplicity and reducing costs. RCR Wireless News is keeping an eye on recent developments through its weekly “Software”...
