30% Improvement for Single User’s Download Experience
Singapore: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, recently showcased its enhanced performance solutions for LTE TDD at the 2012 LTE Asia event in Singapore, Vigilance can report.
According to a spokesman for Huawei the solutions include Adaptive Beamforming, Adaptive Inter Cell Interference Cancellation (aICIC) and Coordinated Multiple Points (CoMP) technologies, which improve LTE TDD edge user download speeds by 30% and upload speeds by 10%.
IT experts have predicted that there would be more than 50,000 LTE TDD sites globally by the end of 2012, and that there would be ten times as many sites in 2014.
Vigilance learnt that as LTE TDD continues to rapidly develop worldwide, improving end user experience and controlling operation costs will become critical challenges for operators to face. Experts are also of the view that Huawei’s enhanced performance solutions for network quality improvement are an effective way to help operators solve these challenges.
A source at Huawei said apart from TDD’s advantage of asymmetrical download and upload speeds for higher speeds, Huawei’s CoMP solution improves cell edge upload speeds by 10% while aICIC assures the best interference control at the cell edges and Adaptive Beamforming dynamically matches the best multi-antenna mode according to user signal strength. aICIC and Adaptive Beamforming respectively improve connectivity for users at cell edges by 30% and 20%.
LTE TDD networks in Asia have been among the first to be deployed and developed. LTE TDD networks in Japan have been successfully launched and now serve a large number of subscribers. In addition, leading operators in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia have also begun to deploy or evolve to LTE TDD convergent networks to provide users with higher speeds for mobile data services.
