Abstract

This paper proposes the exploitation of a Unified Management Framework for coordinating (i.e. ensuring conflict-free and stable operation), multiple, autonomic control loops. The functionality is demonstrated through the instantiation to Self-Organizing Network (SON) coordination for managing LTE-Advanced Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) with relays.
