Inspired by swarm intelligence observed in social species, the artificial self-organized
networking (SON) systems are expected to exhibit some intelligent features (eg, flexibility …

With the current explosion in network traffic, and mounting pressure on operators' business
case, Self-Organizing Networks (SON) play a crucial role. They are conceived to minimize …

We describe self-organizing network (SON) concepts and architectures and their potential to
play a central role in 5G deployment and next-generation networks. Our focus is on the basic …

Covering the key functional areas of LTE Self-Organising Networks (SON), this book
introduces the topic at an advanced level before examining the state-of-the-art concepts …

In next-generation networks (NGN), a very large number of devices and applications are
emerged, along with the heterogeneity of technologies, architectures, mobile data, etc., and …

In this paper, we present new models and algorithms for control and optimization of a class
of next generation communication networks: Hierarchical Heterogeneous Wireless Networks …

In this chapter we discuss the properties and review the main instances of network routing
algorithms whose bottom-up design has been inspired by collective behaviors of social …

Recently, mobile networking systems have been designed with more complexity of
infrastructure and higher diversity of associated devices and resources, as well as more …

Self-organizing network, or SON, technology, which is able to minimize human intervention
in networking processes, was proposed to reduce the operational costs for service providers …

Self-organization as applied to cellular networks is usually referred to Selforganizing
Networks (SONs), and it is a key driver for improving Operations, Administration, and …
