Abstract: Various networks may benefit from suitable management techniques and systems. For example long term evolution networks and other wireless communication networks may benefit from a quality of experience aware transport self-organizing network framework. A method can include monitoring transport connectivity with respect to at least one base station (e.g. eNB) over a mobile backhaul. The method can also include detecting at least one degradation or anomaly in the transport connectivity of the at least one base station. The method can further include taking an appropriate network management action in response to the detected degradation or anomaly.
