Abstract:
The next generation heterogonous wireless systems will be revolutionized by the cloud and will start evolving from the traditional systems through cognition to a more intelligent instantiation. Perhaps, the most important revolution will be in the wireless access infrastructure as huge amount of traffic will be experienced, resulting in
digital bottleneck. This change has also been considered by the standardization bodies in the context of Self Organized Networks (SON). However, the current SONs are still in their infancy. They are
adaptive rather than being 'intelligent'.
On the other hand, the large amount of data generated by the wireless systems provides enormous amounts of information for us to gather, parse, analyses, understand and infer. This Data Mining aspect together with Machine Learning technique helps us plan our network efficiently and optimally, which jointly serve as a powerful instrument of improving the network performance to avoid the
digital bottleneck.
