Mobile communications networks are heterogeneous networks comprised of multiple technologies, such as LTE, EDGE, and UMTS. The number of mobile users is incredibly increasing which makes the installation and configuration of base stations a tedious process. Therefore, self-configuration is a process that reduces the time required for these tasks.

Self-configuration provides an initial setup of the network elements. It consists of three stages. The first stage relates to automatic connection to the network, security procedure, and establishing a secure connection between network elements and the network core. The second stage is the programming of network elements, while the third stage relates to the configuration of radio parameters.
