“…It is worth mentioning here that, even though power tilt and azimuth are actually real-valued parameters, they are usually discretized into a rather small set of values in order to reduce the complexity of the optimization problem. This is the approach used in Altman et al (2002a,b), Cahon et al (2006), Jamaa et al (2004aJamaa et al ( ,b, 2006, Jedidi et al (2004), Meunier et al (2000), Picard et al (2005), Reininger et al (1999), Talbi et al (2007), Talbi and Meunier (2006), Zimmermann et al (2000Zimmermann et al ( , 2003a. The main advantage of this encoding scheme is that EAs are put to work on real solutions so therefore problem-domain specific knowledge can be easily included in the search.…”

“…They came to the conclusion that considering the problem too locally reduce the efficiency of planning tools and taking a too large set increase the number of required BSs thus, increasing the cost of the network. All these works are summarized in an overview proposed by Picard et al [44].…”

In this paper, we present a literature review on the topological planning problem of third generation (3G) cellular networks based on the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) standard. After describing the UMTS architecture, we introduce each subproblem and present major works that have been done. The cell, the access and the core network planning problems have all been considered as well as a more global approach (when more than one subproblems are considered simultaneously). Both planning and expansion algorithms are also included in this review. The goal of this paper is to present and classify the different research works that have been done so that it can be used as a starting point for future research on topological design of UMTS networks.• The optimal number of BSs.• The best location to install the BSs. • The type (or model) of BSs.

“…The introduction of SON into mobile cellular networks considerably impacts the way that networks are planned, deployed, optimized and operated [12] [13]. SON mechanisms (especially self-optimization) are closed-loop control functions intended for continuous and autonomous tuning of radio parameters, and not only once within weeks or months as in traditional network operations.…”

The development of self-management solutions for (multi-technology, multi-layer) mobile communication networks is driven by their increasing operational complexity. Initial stand-alone SON (Self-Organizing Networks) solutions are already available, but are not sufficient to handle the networks of tomorrow. In this paper we present our approach at developing a unified management framework that integrates the existing and future advanced SON functions across several radio access technologies. The envisioned self-management system comprises (i) an integrated SON management system, in charge of policy transformation/supervision and conflict detection/handling; (ii) advanced multi-RAT/layer SON functions; and (iii) a Decision Support System providing measurement-based assistance for residual operational tasks, such as timely recommendations for targeted new site deployments.
