Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for SON and/or non-SON function coordination control have been provided. Specifically, embodiments have provided solutions for a second-party (e.g., operator), via an OAM interface like Itf-N or human interface, to control and manage a first-party (e.g., vendor) SCF, to ensure that the SCF makes coordination decisions on interacting SON functions according to the operator's requirements, even if the internal logic of the SCF is still not visible to the operator.
