Abstract

A device may include one or more processors configured to receive information associated with one or more performance goals to be achieved within a radio access network (RAN). The device may receive performance information for mobile devices associated with the RAN. The device may determine that at least one performance goal, of the one or more performance goals, is not being achieved within the RAN. The determining may be based on the information associated with the one or more performance goals and the performance information. The device may generate a small cell plan for improving performance within the RAN toward achievement of the at least one performance goal. The small cell plan may identify a set of locations at which a set of small cells are to be activated, deactivated, or deployed. The device may output information associated with the small cell plan.
