Abstract
A method of coordinating a communication network comprising a self-coordination network coordinator is provided, wherein the method comprises receiving dynamic context information at the self-coordination network coordinator and performing a coordination of at least one self-organising network function instance based on the received dynamic context information.
Claims11
A method of coordinating a communication network comprising a self-organizing network coordinator, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a dynamic context database, dynamic context information at the self-organizing network coordinator associated with at least one self-organizing network function instance and another at least one self-organizing network function instance, the dynamic context information comprising a current impact area of the at least one self-organizing network function instance and the another at least one self-organizing network function instance, wherein the current impact area is an area in which the at least one self-organizing network function instance has influence or impact on the another at least one self-organizing network function instance;
- determining based on the dynamic context information a conflicting impact of the at least one self-organizing network function instance on a performance of operation of the another at least one self-organizing network function instance;
- performing a coordination of the at least one self-organizing network function instance to prevent the conflicting impact;
- and
- updating the dynamic context information.

A self-organizing network coordinator comprising:
- at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a dynamic context database, dynamic context information associated with at least one self-organizing network function instance and another at least one self-organizing network function instance, the dynamic context information comprising a current impact area of the at least one self-organizing network function instance and the another at least one self-organizing network function instance, wherein the current impact area is an area in which the at least one self-organizing network function instance has influence or impact on the another at least one self-organizing network function instance;
- determine based on the dynamic context information a conflicting impact of the at least one self-organizing network function instance on a performance of operation of the another at least one self-organizing network function instance;
- perform a coordination of the at least one self-organizing network function instance to prevent the conflicting impact;
- and
- update the dynamic context information.
