Dynamic radio configuration of Self-Organizing base stations

In current cellular networks the rollout of base stations needs to be conscientiously prepared, because their radio configuration should match with the coverage provided by existing cells. The radio planning for every new cell requires considerable human resources. This paper proposes a framework for Dynamic Radio Configuration (DRC) of future Self-Organizing base stations, which is adaptive to the current network topology context. This function enables the deployment of base stations and new cells in an ad hoc manner, reducing OPEX. An example for DRC of the Physical Cell ID in LTE is presented and the impacts on the LTE OAM architecture are discussed.
