T-Mobile and Huawei complete testing on LTE self-organizing network

Huawei has completed the test for LTE self-organizing network (SON) with T-Mobile in Innsbruck, Austria. Through the solution's ability to configure, optimize and recover automatically, the LTE SON will offer operators operational cost savings associated with network planning, network deployment and network optimization. Using T-Mobile's existing eNodeBs, the test aims at verifying Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) functionality in Huawei's SON solution. The test result shows a high successful handover rate and demonstrates that the SON solution is able to automatically establish and optimize neighbour relations, and satisfies the requirements of future LTE commercial networks. As network topology changes, the LTE SON solution will ensure a high level of network connectivity and optimization of network-wide performance. “With the latest SON solution, Huawei is able to deploy an LTE network with the best performance in a cost-effective way,” said, Ying Weimin, President - LTE, Huawei.
