2. SON RG Report Out 16 contributions were presented
All contributions proposed TOC and high level SON functions
Since there were not enough time to harmonize specific SON functions as proposed in the contributions, the RG agreed that the objectives of this meeting are to adopt the following into the SDD baseline:
Overview description and scope of SON
Level 2 TOC and one line description of level 2 topics

4. Proposed level 1 & 2 ToC for Section 18
18 Support for Self Organizing Networks
SON functions are intended for MS, and all types of BSs (e.g. macro, relay, Femto) to automate the configuration of BS / MS parameters and to optimize the network performance, coverage, and capacity. The scope of SON is limited to the measurement and reporting of over-the-air performance metrics, and the subsequent adjustments of BS / MS parameters.
18.1 Self-configuration
Self-configuration is the process of bringing up network elements automatically with minimum human intervention.
18.2 Self-optimization
Self-optimization is the process of analyzing the reported SON measurements from the BS / MS and utilizing them to fine-tuning the BS / MS parameters in order to optimize the network performance, coverage, and capacity.
