The primary goal of mobile networks is to connect mobile phone users together as well as to the Internet. Therefore, wireless network operators install large number of base stations or access points in the regions that will be covered. Each base station or access point covers a specific geographical area called a cell. Mobile networks allow users to transparently move between cells via a process called handover. Network users wish that the service provided to them is uninterrupted, whether with regard to the quality of phone calls or the speed with which they surf the Internet.

Self-Organizing Networks (SONs) is an evolving technology used to automate planning, configuration, optimization, and healing of networks. SON is included as part of the mobile networks standards such as such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The quick evolution in wireless network industry have led to parallel operation of 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and emerging 6G networks that need to be managed and controlled with minimal human effort. SON is a promising technology to realize solutions for the control and management of this heterogeneous network regime. The technology suggests a set of concepts to automate network management toward a goal of improving quality of service (QoS) and reduce burdens of networks management on network administrators [1].
