SON

Hi, Unicef.
The full name of SON is self-organizing network.
SON Features:
The MOs of S1 service IP, S1SigIP, X2eNodeB, X2 service IP, X2 signaling IP, MME, and SGW belong to the category of Self Organize Network (SON).

By configuring the node information (eNodeB, MME, SGW) in the transmission network, automatically configure the transmission objects (including IP Path, SCTP, S1 interface, X2 interface, IPsec, etc.) between nodes.
Thanks！

In operator if we implement SON then we can save cost by reduce RF engineer?

Hi User!

Self-configuring, self-optimizing wireless networks is not a new concept but as the mobile networks are evolving towards 4G LTE networks, introduction of self configuring and self optimizing mechanisms is needed to minimize operational efforts. A self optimizing function would increase network performance and quality reacting to dynamic processes in the network.
This would minimize the life cycle cost of running a network by eliminating manual configuration of equipment at the time of deployment, right through to dynamically optimizing radio network performance during operation. Ultimately it will reduce the unit cost and retail price of wireless data services.
