Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are slated to begin massive 5G upgrades in parallel to existing LTE expansions. These capital expenditures tend to leave large impacts on the existing customer base through network outages, degraded performance, and physical mis-configuration from the work done at each node location. Many times the issue not found and addressed for 72+ hours.
The race for 5G network roll-outs is on with mobile network operators (MNOs) furiously expanding and upgrading their networks capabilities. RF Site Design services are critical to the process for cost effective, efficient design strategy implementation. These services may be addressed through staff expansion or turnkey milestone delivery. Milestone design services offers a cost controlled, scalable model for MNOs to deliver network design, integration, and site acceptance.
The use of Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) in early deployments of VoLTE networks is critical to maintaining the current customer expectations of the voice call experience. As LTE networks often lag earlier technology networks in coverage, software reliability and general network optimization, SRVCC is the vital gateway to transparently maintaining the customer experience.
To assign PCI correctly and efficiently will increase resource utilization and QoS of the LTE system for subscribers. Poor planning results in PCI conflicts or collisions which impact network performance. TTS Inc developed the PCI/RSI Audit and Adhoc planner functionality within the IMNOS platform providing speedy, accurate, and immediate results. This modules improves performance and adds engineering efficiency.
To maximize the use of spectrum, a mix of footprint optimization or RF shaping is required in conjunction with parameter tuning and feature optimization. Cluster/Area optimization of a LTE and 3G network with macro and oDAS layers requires a complete cell footprint view in order to effectively optimize and maintain performance in a mature wireless network.
With the purpose of maximizing spectral efficiency and allow for network carrier aggregration, the roll-out of VoLTE in existing LTE networks is a critical step. With the introduction of any new voice technology, there is a need for measuring the actual voice quality of the network.
