• SON is automation technology that enables the network to set itself up and self-manage resources and configuration to achieve optimal performance
• The self-organizing, self-optimizing capability of the small cell smooth the path for residential HetNet implementation
• Small cell SON capabilities must be advanced and managed within the context of the wider Macro Network SON in an integrated HetNet approach.

Kick-off
WG Deliverable Agreed
Release 7 HetNet & SON
HetNet & SON Work Item
© Small Cell Forum Ltd 2016
- Rome Champions Day - Sept 2015
- Dallas Small Cell Americas - Nov 2015
- Summer 2016
SCF has been working on Hetnet and SON concepts since the early days of femtocells with features like plug-and-play and network listen, and this work item is about bringing many years of thinking together in a coherent form
The opportunity to get involved is now!!
