Abstract
Self-organisation functions are capable of providing organisation intelligence in communication networks. Self-organising radio networks support diverse user services in a distributed and dynamic environment. These networks involve such a variety of functions that establishment of a functional guideline or framework is necessary to manage these functions systematically. Such a framework is proposed in this paper in the form of a “plane” of self-organisation functions. Various control mechanisms or protocols can be mapped onto these functions. A practical application of the self-organisation model is demonstrated and other uses of this approach are suggested.
