Detecting cellular network anomalies using the knowledge discovery process

2015

Analytical companies unanimously forecast the exponential growth of mobile traffic consumption over the next five years. The densification of a network structure with small cells is regarded as a key solution to meet growing capacity demands. The manual management of a multi-layer network is a very expensive, error prone, and sluggish process. Hence, the automation of the whole life cycle of network operation is highly anticipated. To this aim 3GPP introduces a self-management concept referred to as SON. It is envisioned that SON updates information concerning the latest network conditions through the MDT mecha- nism. MDT enables a network operator to collect radio and service quality measurem…
