Systems and methods relate to a Self-Organizing Network (SON) that makes changes to operating parameters for the purpose of load balancing, to increase data communication throughput and capacity. A device may determine load balancing ratios and unused throughput for a first frequency band and a second frequency band for a cell site. The device may also determine, based on the load balancing ratios and the unused throughputs, whether a load balancing procedure for the cell site should be performed to increase a traffic throughput at the cell site.

System and method for load balancing traffic over multiple radio frequency bands for self-organizing network optimization

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a node placement service. The node placement service may generate geo-bins pertaining to a radio access network device, a sector of the radio access network device, or a sub-sector. The node placement service may generate time values for the geo-bins based on network information associated with end devices and the geo-bins. The node placement service may also generate return on investment values for the geo-bins based on the network information. The node placement service may use the time values, the return on investment values, or both for radio frequency design of a geo-bin.
