VoLTE based on IMS: How to ensure voice quality in the field

in Video, Webinar, IMS, Rohde & Schwarz, VoLTE, LTE

This Rohde & Schwarz webinar presents the technical background to VoLTE (based on IMS) and explains how to measure voice quality in live networks. It also illustrates the impact of radio conditions and IP impairments (e.g. jitter or audio delay) to audio quality. The main focus is on the field testing aspects of VoLTE.

4G Americas’ Summary of Global 5G Initiatives

in Whitepaper, 4G Americas, 5G, LTE

This white paper, developed by 4G Americas member companies using publicly available information, is a one-time overview of global 5G initiatives as of the first quarter of 2014. This white paper is only focused on the technology evolution of the wireless network.

Extending LTE Advanced to Unlicensed Spectrum

in Whitepaper, LTE-Advanced, Qualcomm, 4G, LTE

LTE is the common global 4G standard for paired (FDD) and unpaired (TDD) licensed spectrum. We can now extend the benefits of LTE Advanced also to unlicensed spectrum, the shared resource used by multiple technologies such as Wi-Fi. This is an ideal solution for mobile operators to augment mobile broadband and help to meet the 1000x challenge.

LTE Direct Workshop White Paper

in Whitepaper, LTE Direct, Qualcomm, LTE

An LTE Direct workshop organized by Qualcomm and Samsung in May 2013 brought together thought leaders from Deutsche Telekom, DOCOMO, KDDI, Orange, Placecast, Samsung, SAP, Sapient, SKT, Softbank, Tagged, and Verizon.

Deploying IMS in the Cloud with NFV

in Video, Webinar, IMS, Infonetics Research, NFV, VoLTE, LTE

One of the leading use cases for carrier network virtualization is the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) core. Service providers, particularly mobile operators planning for voice over LTE (VoLTE), are looking toward network functions virtualization (NFV) to scale services up and down quickly and to better align costs with network usage.

How to Take into Account Customer Experience when Designing a Wireless Network

in Video, Webinar, LTE

This Webinar discusses about the factors that affect customer experience (slow network response, delay, lost session, bad quality), parameters that affect customer experience (Internet connection, network settings, SNR), SNR availability and how to calculate it and also how to correlate SNR availability to customer experience.
