1. A telecommunication system configured to deliver a plurality of services, the telecommunication system comprising:
a monitoring module, implemented using monitoring circuitry, configured to monitor, for each service of said plurality of services, a number of service requests (Xni(t)) submitted by users of the telecommunication system to access said service, and a quality of experience (QoEi(t)) perceived by the users while using said service; and
a self-organizing network module, implemented using network circuitry, configured to:
based on a current value of at least one configuration parameter (Ri(t),Rs(t)) of the telecommunication system, and on the monitored number of service requests (Xni(t)) and the monitored quality of experience (QoEi(t)), determine a correlation (ƒi,gi) among the quality of experience (QoEi(t)), the at least one configuration parameter (Ri(t),Rs(t)) and the number of service requests (Xni(t)), said correlation being based on a number of service requests to access each service, a growth rate of the number of service requests to access each service, and an instantaneous growth rate of the number of service requests to access each service,
determine from said correlation, at least one between:
an equilibrium number of service requests indicative of a condition where the number of service requests to access each service does not change over time, and
an equilibrium quality of experience indicative of a condition where the quality of experience perceived by the users for each delivered service does not change over time,
based on said correlation, and on at least one of a target number of service requests submitted by users of the telecommunication system to access said service and a target quality of experience accepted to be perceived by the users while using said service, determine an updated value of the at least one configuration parameter (Ri(t),Rs(t)), and
command the telecommunication system to implement a reconfiguration thereof according to said updated value of the at least one configuration parameter (Ri(t),Rs(t)).
