LTE Self-Organising Networks(SON): Network Management Automation for Operation Efficiency

LTE Self-Organising Networks (SON) training benefits participants with the full picture of a SON-enabled system including technologies, architecture and operation. The training introduces participants to LTE SON including self-optimisation, self-configuration and self-healing as well as its standardization, also giving NGMN and 3GPP use cases. Drivers, requirements,  challenges, enabling technologies and architectures for a SON-enabled system will be explained. Furthermore the training covers multi-technology aspects, core network and end-to-end operational aspects. Training will be based on LTE Self-organising Networks book by Hämäläinen (editor), Sartori(editor) and Sanneck (editor) that can be used as study material.
