超密集部署及多种制式的网络共存使未来5G网络运营维护的复杂度和成本大大增加,网络自组织技术作为有效提升网络管理效率和降低网络运营成本的主要手段,已成为面向5G超密集场景的关键技术之一。主要介绍了网络自配置、自优化、自治愈等网络自组织功能以及面向5G超密集场景下的应用,最后分析了网络自组织技术面临的挑战以及未来研究方向,为后续研究提供参考。
The ultra dense deployment and the coexistence of multi-system networks make the fifth generation (5G) mobile communications ultra-dense network operation complexity and cost increase greatly. Network self-organization has been as a key technology in 5G ultra-dense network for its excellent performance on enhancing the network management efficiency and reducing the operating costs. The network self-organization technology and its function,such as self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing were introduced. Moreover, the technology challenges and the trends were analyzed for further research.
