Pre-Conference Workshop | Monday 6th June 2011
Registration and coffee will begin at 09.30.
The workshop will take place between 10.00 & 16.00 with appropriate breaks for lunch and refreshments.
Determining how to integrate femtocells with your network planning strategy to
effectively manage increasing data traffic
In this workshop delegates will discuss the benefits of using femtocells as a way to reduce the strain on the network
and enhance the customer experience. You will learn how to identify and overcome the challenges of integrating
femtocells with your network planning strategy.
Key issues to be addressed:
Evaluate the pros and cons of using open femtocells versus closed femtocells
Determine how to manage the traffic flow from femtocells back to the main network and ensure a seamless handover
Establish how to plan your existing frequency allocation and how to use femtocells to optimise your performance strategy
Understand how to manage interference between different layers in the network when using femtocells
Determine how to convince your customers to pay for offloading to enhance their network coverage and user experience

3. Post-Conference Workshop | Thursday 9th June 2011
Registration and coffee will begin at 09.30.
The workshop will take place between 10:00 & 16:00 with appropriate breaks for lunch and refreshments.
Scrutinising the costs, benefits and effectiveness of using SON to optimise network
performance
In this interactive session you will examine the effectiveness of using SON to automate the configuration and operation
of your network to optimise performance. Delegates will learn how SON can minimise OPEX and reduce the time it
takes to respond to network bottlenecks. In addition, delegates will evaluate the pros and cons of using SON to reduce
OPEX and increase network performance.
Key issues to be addressed:
Quantifying the costs of implementation against the OPEX savings that can be made
To what extent can SON be used on 2G and 3G networks as well as LTE?
Establishing which areas of the network require SON automation the most: Handover management, power control
To what extent can SON be used to automatically configure the network?
Identifying and overcoming the challenges of integrating SON with your legacy network architecture
