Advanced Network and Services Management

(Self-Organizing Networks)

One of the most important trends in the wireless communication industry is

advancements in network management, and the accompanying
management of services.

The goal of these advancements is to make network configuration as

automated as possible, ultimately to have the networks self-configure.

Thus, the term Self-Organizing Networks (SON)

SON provides the ability to coordinate load balancing, particularly between

LTE and eHRPD systems.

SON also supports GREEN by allowing cells to coordinate powering off and
on.

SON (2 OF 2)
The operator requirements for efficient network management and
operation amplify the need for Self-Organizing Networks (SON).
SON improves the ability of network elements to communicate
information between elements and allows self-configuration relative
to the other elements in the network.
A multiple phase approach to the SON work in 3GPP2 is being
pursued beginning with:
SON System Requirements (S.P0150-0)
CDMA-only Energy Saving (ES)-mode (A.S0010-0)
Coverage compensation for power-off (A.S0010-A)
Inter-RAT ES-mode for LTE-eHRPD and LTE-eHRPD load
balancing requirements (in conjunction with 3GPP)

Green Revised Energy Efficient Network

(GREEN)
In the current era of worldwide attention given to global warming and
the drive toward cleaner and more efficient products and
technologies, 3GPP2 is doing its part to address these issues by
developing and refining standards to be conducive to GREEN
technologies.
Issues being addressed include:
Battery life considerations for access terminals
Power consumption by infrastructure functional elements
3GPP2 developed a Green Revised Energy Efficient Network
(GREEN) Technology Initiative Study for cdma2000 Wireless
Networks (S.R0140-0)

GREEN (2 OF 2)
Energy Savings (ES) Management is being addressed in A.S0010
cdma2000 RAN Management.
Provides the protocols and procedures to support cdma20001
RAN Management in the Radio Access Network (RAN).
Describes a new interface between CDMA RANs to allow RANs
to notify each other when they are powering off resources, when
they need a resource powered on to handle load or emergency
traffic, and coverage compensation.
