Femtocell SONs: Self-organising Networks
Only Ubiquisys femtocells constantly monitor and adapt to their environment (see adaptive Radio Resource Management). Ubiquisys has developed these capabilities of its Femto-Engine software to create the world’s first Self-Organising Network (SON) of femtocells.
In a femtocell SON, each femto constantly monitors its environment, but as well as adapting its own configuration, it also communicates with its neighbours (using LAN or internet) to negotiate a grid of coverage and capacity. Neighbour lists for handovers, load-balancing behaviour and scrambling code diversity are all managed autonomously.
The result is a SON of small cells that don’t require radio planning and that automatically complement the macro network’s capacity and coverage. And because it has Femto-Engine software capability, it can be applied to any class of femtocell device.
Ubiquisys femto SON technology is deployed to provide a low cost solution for enterprises of all sizes. It is also deployed in indoor public spaces, outdoor metro hotspots and outdoor rural environments.
