Registration and coffee will begin at 09.30.
The workshop will take place between 10:00 & 16:00 with appropriate breaks for lunch and refreshments.
Scrutinising the costs, benefits and effectiveness of using SON to optimise network
performance
In this interactive session you will examine the effectiveness of using SON to automate the configuration and operation
of your network to optimise performance. Delegates will learn how SON can minimise OPEX and reduce the time it
takes to respond to network bottlenecks. In addition, delegates will evaluate the pros and cons of using SON to reduce
OPEX and increase network performance.
Key issues to be addressed:
Quantifying the costs of implementation against the OPEX savings that can be made
To what extent can SON be used on 2G and 3G networks as well as LTE?
Establishing which areas of the network require SON automation the most: Handover management, power control
To what extent can SON be used to automatically configure the network?
Identifying and overcoming the challenges of integrating SON with your legacy network architecture

Pre-Conference Workshop | Monday 6th June 2011
Registration and coffee will begin at 10.00.
The workshop will take place between 10.30 & 16.00 with appropriate breaks for lunch and refreshments.
Determining how to integrate femtocells with your network planning strategy to
effectively manage increasing data traffic
In this workshop delegates will discuss why both femtocells and WiFi are needed to reduce the strain on the network
and enhance the customer experience. You will learn what consumers think of femtocells and how to build the business
case to invest in them.
Key issues to be addressed:
Examining the current status of the femtocell market: Who is deploying femtocells? Who is undertaking trials with femtocells?
Evaluating femtocell standards and deployment options for both open and closed access
Exploring different ways to manage interference between different layers in the network when using femtocells
Understanding consumer attitudes and motivation for using femtocells
Establishing how femtocells compare with WiFi and can be used to maximise network offload
Determining the business case for using femtocells to enhance network coverage and user experience
