KPIs that Need to be Monitored


If there are problems on the network they will most likely fall into one of the following ve categories:

Subscribers are not able to register to the network. Subscribers are not able to set up calls.(CSSR) Poor information transmission speed is measured especially
for data calls, e.g. by le transfer software.

The quality of transmitted information is bad, which

especially has an impact on conversation calls (voice, videotelephony).

KPIs that Need to be Monitored


Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference signal received power (RSRP) identifies the signal level of the Reference Signal. It is defined as the linear average over the power contributions of the resource elements that carry cell-specific reference signals within the considered measurement frequency bandwidth.. Design KPI for RSRP: -98 dBm /-103 dBm

A minimum of 95% of the weighted average of the LTE design service area (Cluster or Polygon) must meet the RSRP targets specified above.

KPIs that Need to be Monitored


Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) identifies the quality of the Reference Signal. It is defined as the ratio NRSRP/(E-UTRA carrier RSSI), where N is the number of RB"s of the E-UTRA carrier RSSI measurement bandwidth. E-UTRA Carrier Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), comprises the linear average of the total received power observed only in OFDM symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0, in the measurement bandwidth, over N number of resource blocks by the UE from all sources, including co channel serving and non-serving cells,adjacent channel interference, thermal noise etc.

Average Revenue per User (ARPU)


ARPU has been trending flat to down in recent years LTE promises to reverse these declines by accelerating adoption of highspeed data services and innovative new content and applications Higher-bandwidth and lower-latency will significantly improve the user experience for bandwidth-hungry content and applications.

Release 8

Jumpy, stuttering YouTube videos and waiting for things to buffer will be consigned to the pass. Application and content developers will need to create services that take advantage of LTEs capabilities. Applications such as real-time multi-user video gaming and multi-media remote health monitoring are just two examples.

Deployment of wideband codecs and higher resolution video conferencing for the mass market will be much more feasible and widespread.

In addition, the high bandwidth and low latency will drive the development and uptake of real-time services with added mobility yet to be conceived.

Seamless mobility experience Thanks to LTEs access agnostic core and centralised application layer, service providers will have the ability to offer full seamless mobility services. This will allow their subscribers to remain connected via any access technology (WiFi, WiMAX, xDSL, FTTx) wherever they are, ensuring that their applications, contents, streams will follow them through their journey whatever device (laptop, mobile, tablet PC, TV, etc) they feel is the most appropriate to use at any given time.

CSFB (Circuit Switched Fallback): In this approach, LTE just provides data services, and when a voice call is to be initiated or received, it will fall back to the CS domain. When using this solution, operators just need to upgrade the MSC instead of deploying the IMS, and therefore, can provide services quickly. However, the disadvantage is longer call setup delay

Mobile VoIP for LTE

Given its ability to effectively carry VoIP, LTE provides mobile carriers with a single network infrastructure for all services, including voice, short message service (SMS), and broadband data. Finally, mobile operators can migrate voice and SMS from their congested and costly circuit switched core networks to a more efficient IP-based core Key technical requirements for One Voice include: 3GPP IP Multimedia System (IMS) Release 8 Multimedia Telephony Short Message Service (SMS) over IP IMS Media support for AMR CODECs

Persistent Scheduling
Persistent scheduling enables radio resources to be semi-statically configured and allocated to a UE for a longer time period than one subframe, avoiding the need for specific downlink assignment messages or uplink grant messages over the PDCCH for each subframe.

Scalable Bandwidth

Singapore mobile operator StarHub starts to refarm its 2G 1800MHz spectrum for 4G long-term evolution (LTE), and says will be the first to do so in Southeast Asia.

Scalable bandwidth up to 20 MHz, covering 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz

850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz);

Existing 2G and 3G spectrum can gradually be re-farmed to LTE, providing a means to efficiently and cost effectively assimilate the ever increasing demand for both voice and data traffic .Because of scalable bandwidth, operators will be able to easily migrate their networks and users from GSM,HSPA to LTE over time

40

2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

Refarming
Re-using existing 2G and 3G spectrum for LTE, operators
can make significant cost savings, extend the lifespan of existing spectrum assets

While significant, these benefits can only be realised if

operators follow a careful planning process to minimise service degradation for existing 2G and 3G services. America and Europe, AIRCOM International believes that existing 2G and 3G spectrum (5MHz) could be re-allocated to LTE deployment for less than 0.5% of the cost of buying new spectrum at auction.

After calculating prices paid for new LTE spectrum in North

Refarming GSM 900 MHz


The 900 MHz band is the most ubiquitous and the most harmonized worldwide
wireless telecommunication spectrum band available today.

It also has the benefit of increased coverage and subsequent reduction in 900MHz offers improved building penetration

network deployment costs compared to deployments at higher frequencies.

UMTS deployments require a full 5 MHz of spectrum to be freed up before


being deployed in that band.

LTE will be able to be deployed in spectrum bands as small as 1.25MHz and it


provides good initial deployment scalability as it can be literally squeezed in as the GSM spectrum is freed-up, and grow as more spectrum becomes available and also provide operators the ability to deploy an LTE network with greater coverage at a much reduced cost compared to higher frequency spectrum hence provide a good mobile broadband data countrywide layer.

LTE deployment in the 900 MHz band would bring the highest capacity benefit

LTE1800: LTE Deployments in 1800MHz Band


LTE to be deployed in this spectrum enables the possibility to provide networks for fast mobile broadband services with a substantially wider coverage at a lower cost than when using 2.6 GHz, which requires a considerably larger number of base stations . 1800 MHz band widely available throughout Europe, APAC, MEA, and some regions of South America For many operators, its also a way to launch next-gen mobile broadband services without having to waiting for local governments to allocate 4G spectrum
