Jio is deploying a heterogeneous network (HetNet) using a combination of macro cells, small cells, and WiFi access points to efficiently utilize its spectrum assets across multiple bands. Self-organizing network (SON) technology is being implemented to automate the configuration, optimization, and management of this complex network. SON allows for seamless integration of new network elements, continuous monitoring and proactive issue resolution, and real-time optimization of radio resources to improve network performance and enhance the customer experience. Initial results with SON have shown improvements in capacity, throughput, user distribution, handover success rates, and a more efficient small cell deployment process.

Why SON? – Heterogeneous, Multiple Service Networks are too Complex to Manage Manually
Self-Configuration
Seamlessly integrating into the
network throughautomatic
configuration of key parameters
Common Challenges Faced by High DensityCellular Networks
Quality Installations Network Monitoring Adaptation to changing
environments
Proactive optimization
Key Capabilities of SON
Self-Organizing/Optimizing Network (SON) is an automation technology that enables the network
to set itself up and self-manage resources and configuration to achieve optimal performance
SON helps in dealing with
these challenges
Self-Optimization
Enhanced network performance
through real timeoptimization of
radio & network configuration
Self-Healing
Allows adjacentcells to maintain
network quality incase a node fails,
providing resiliency
No longer humanly possible to effectively configure and optimize today’scomplex heterogeneousnetworks!
