1. A method performed by a user equipment to facilitate self-organizing network (SON) enhancement in a wireless network, the method comprising:
receiving, from the wireless network, a downlink SON message, the downlink SON message indicative of a test scenario and specifying at least one radio access network parameter configured in accordance with the test scenario; and
communicating user data with at least one base station using at least a first wireless connection and a second wireless connection that are simultaneously extant during at least a portion of an execution of the test scenario, the first wireless connection to be unchanged by the test scenario, and the second wireless connection to use the at least one radio access network parameter.
