SON RG Report Out 16 contributions were presented All contributions proposed TOC and high level SON functions Since there were not enough time to harmonize specific SON functions as proposed in the contributions, the RG agreed that the objectives of this meeting are to adopt the following into the SDD baseline: Overview description and scope of SON Level 2 TOC and one line description of level 2 topics

Summary of 16 SON Contributions 1252, 1259 (Samsung) – Definition, Self-configuration, Self-optimization, Self-maintenance 1255 (NEC) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization 1275r1 (Huawei) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization 1294 (Huawei) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization 1298r1 (ALU) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization 1318r1 (NIU) – Interference detection (self-optimization) 1320 (NIU) – Transmit power control 1322 (NIU) – Self-optimization for Femto BS 1335 (MITRE) – Self-configuration requirements 1336 (MITRE) – Self-configuration for multi-carrier or single-carrier systems 1352 (Alvarion) – Self-configuration to support the allocation of control channels. 1354r2 (ALU) – SON primitives and messages 1382r1 (NSN) – Self-optimization for neighbor list update 1387 (Intel) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization, Self-planning, Self-healing 1390r1 (ZTE) – Self-organizing Fractional Frequency Reuse 1407 (Nortel) – Self-configuration, Self-optimization, Self-maintenance

Proposed level 1 & 2 ToC for Section 18 18 Support for Self Organizing Networks SON functions are intended for MS, and all types of BSs (e.g. macro, relay, Femto) to automate the configuration of BS / MS parameters and to optimize the network performance, coverage, and capacity. The scope of SON is limited to the measurement and reporting of over-the-air performance metrics, and the subsequent adjustments of BS / MS parameters. 18.1 Self-configuration Self-configuration is the process of bringing up network elements automatically with minimum human intervention. 18.2 Self-optimization Self-optimization is the process of analyzing the reported SON measurements from the BS / MS and utilizing them to fine-tuning the BS / MS parameters in order to optimize the network performance, coverage, and capacity.
