Rohde & Schwarz webinar: LTE Release 9 adds several new features to LTE, such as evolved MBMS (eMBMS), dual-layer beamforming (transmission mode 8) and positioning support. To support network-based positioning estimation, new reference signals known as positioning reference signals (PRS) have been introduced.
RCR Wireless Editorial Webinar: The number of LTEi devices is exploding rapidly, from 269 devices in January 2012 to 560 devices produced by 83 suppliers as of November 2012. Getting an LTE smartphone, tablet, or USB modem into users' hands is no simple task, however.
Openwave Mobilityi Webinar: Policy Decision and Policy Enforcement in mobile data networks is evolving beyond basic blocking and throttling of traffic to enabling advanced use cases and capabilities.
Listen to Openwave Mobility discuss how mobile operators can achieve tangible and measurable increases in ARPU by deploying Policy Engagement.
MIMOi antenna transmission schemes are critical for unlocking the high data rates achievable through LTEi. A clear understanding of the RF environment, which primarily governs MIMO performance, helps operators to save infrastructure dollars and better optimize their LTE networks.
JDSU Webinar: Carriers are struggling to keep up with capacity demands while simultaneously increasing coverage. Throwing more spectrum at the problem is expensive, and only part of the solution. Bringing the network closer to users with small cells can help address these problems, but only bridges the gap for today's divide—what about tomorrow?
Openwave Mobilityi Webinar: Operators must meet the challenge OTT traffic creates for the network and mitigate the negative impacts of congestion especially on video services.
This webinar is presented by David Chambers, ThinkSmallCell. It describes the evolution of femtocells into small cells addressing different market segments, and discusses the impact on the ecosystem of vendors and partners.
Commercial LTEi Release 8 networks have been launched worldwide. The features of 3GPPi Release 9 further enhance LTE. One of the key features in LTE Release 9 is called evolved MBMS. MBMS stands for multimedia broadcast multicast services and enables broadcast and multicast services over a cellular network.
LTEi introduces many new parameters to the radio network design problem. They come on top of the existing challenge of designing to maximise coverage with the fewest sites while minimising interference.
