RT Journal Article T1 Automatic Feature Selection Technique for Next Generation Self-Organizing Networks A1 Palacios, David A1 De la Bandera Cascales, Isabel A1 Gómez-Andrades, Ana A1 Flores, Lydia A1 Barco-Moreno, Raquel K1 Sistemas de comunicaciones inalámbricos AB Despite self-organizing networks (SONs) pursue theautomation of management tasks in current cellular networks,the selection of the most useful performance indicators (PIs),used as inputs for SON functions, is still performed by networkexperts. In this letter, a novel supervised technique for theautomatic selection of PIs for self-healing functions is proposed,relying on the dissimilarity of their statistical behavior underdifferent network states. Results using data from a live networkshow that the proposed method outperforms an expert’sselection, allowing the volume and complexity of both networkdatabases and SON functions to be reduced without an expert’sintervention.
