Abstract
In today’s mobile communication networks the increasing reliance on Self-Organizing Network(SON) features to perform the correct optimization tasks adds a new set of challenges. In a SON-enabled network, the impact of each function’s action on the environment depends upon the actions of other functions as well. Therefore, the concept of pre-action coordination has been introduced to detect and resolve known conflicts between SON function instances. Furthermore, the idea of post-action SON verification has been proposed which is often understood as a special type of anomaly detection. It computes statistical measures on performance indicators at a relevant spatial and temporal aggregation level to assess the impact of a set of (SON-evoked) Configuration Management (CM) changes.
