Study on Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) aspects of Self-Organizing Network (SON) for Active Antenna System (AAS) based deployments
The present document studies the OAM aspects of SON (Self-Organizing Network) for AAS (Active Antenna Systems) based deployments in LTE.
The study includes use cases, potential requirements and possible solutions of OAM aspects of SON for AAS-based deployments in LTE, for both OAM centralized architecture and eNB distributed architecture with OAM supervision.
The study also makes conclusions on the preferred solution(s), and provides recommendations based on the conclusions of the study.
