An Autonomic Framework for Self-Optimizing Next Generation Mobile Networks

This paper presents aframeworkfor self-optimizing next generation mobile networks, such as 3G LTE and WiMAX systems. Concept, architecture, interfaces and functions are described in detail. The functionality and management thereof of the proposed autonomic system is exposed through two case studies on neighbor cell list performance improvement. Simulation results show the proposed application to be a feasible solution for self-optimizing performance ofwireless access systems.
