Abstract

The performance of SNMP, NETCONF and CWMP in LTE self-configuration scenario is investigated. The time required to perform the autoconfiguration of the LTE eNodeB is evaluated and a part of the LTE SON procedures. The influence of the size of the firmware file and the number of nodes being configured by a singe network management server is verified. The results show that the SNMP significantly outperforms NETCONF and CWMP in terms of time required to finish the self-configuration, especially for base stations with small firmware size.
