When the best data throughput of today becomes bad in couple of years and mobiles are used more as entertainment and file sharing purpose than voice call, we need new revolutions to achieve best data rate using existing technologies. According to latest study by Qualcomm by 2017 two third of mobile traffic will be from video. There is also predictions (more ..)
Energy consumption can be significantly reduced in mobile networks by introducing discontinuous transmission (DTX) on the base station side. By introducing DTX on the downlink, or cell DTX, it is possible to achieve significant energy reductions in an LTE network. Cell DTX is most efficient when the traffic load is low in a cell but even when realistic traffic statistics (more ..)
ANDSF or Access Network Discovery and Selection Function provides a way to allow mobile users to connect to Evolved Packet Core using non- 3GPP access radio technologies like WLAN, WiMAX, CDMA 2000 etc. The whole concept started in 3GPP release 8 where only WLAN case was considered. But in 3GPP release 10 a lot of improvements were done in this (more ..)
MMTel is a standardized solution to provide voice, video and other telephony services over LTE network (VoLTE). MMTel uses IMS to deliver voice, video and chat services to users. Along with that it specifies the way to share images, videos and files in real time. MMTel standard is a joint project by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and ETSI/TISPAN (European (more ..)
