RADIODIM: a novel radio network capacity planning tool for 2G, 3G, 4GPierre Eisenmann
a novel radio network capacity planning tool for GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA, LTE. Based on advanced Erlang laws. Takes counters as input. Provide accuracy estimates. Simple and natural work environment. Ideal for radio network budget forecast and for productive day-to-day capacity management.
This second webinar discusses LTE Air Interface, the link between a mobile device and the network, and a fundamental driver of the quality of the network.
Since Release 8 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the uplink control channel called the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is specified. In this paper, we propose a new multi-user joint receiver processing for LTE PUCCH that counteracts the intra-cell interference (ICI). Using the fact that the received signal in PUCCH signaling follows a constrained tensor model, a multi-user receiver based on an iterative joint channel/code estimation and symbol detection is proposed. The interest in such a challenging setting relies on the overhead reduction synchronization errors defined by time offset and inaccuracies of timing align. Simulation results show remarkable performance gains of the proposed receiver compared to the conventional time-frequency decorrelator based receiver under the same conditions.
A complete description of long term evolution including lte advanced. Study includes technical, services and strategic marketing information and gives a thorough overall picture of the technology and business.

Starting with a review of backhaul capacity, performance requirements and protocol architecture, the presentation initially focused on the macro cell layer before going on to discuss options for evolving towards a true multi-layered heterogeneous network. Take a look!
I've read white paper, "{18ca3d99-f643-4f3b-9f38-c8e2ab910ce8}_SenzaFili_Densification.pdf" that describes direction of mobile network densification based on interview with following companies
; network equipment vendors
; test equipment vendors
; mobile netowork operator
; communication network broker, neutral hosts
I have following questions
- yhkim: How many middleprise will deploy mobile network densification?
- yhkim: Multiple backhaul usage: fiber is primary, wireless is secondary. Is it right?
- yhkim: Is there possibility for small cell to be deployed without additional bands?

Main Differences between LTE & LTE-AdvancedSabir Hussain
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution.
In Nov. 2004, 3GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology.
LTE systems have:
Higher performance
Backwards compatible
Wide application
Data Rate:
Instantaneous downlink peak data rate of 100Mbit/s in a 20MHz downlink spectrum (i.e. 5 bit/s/Hz)
Instantaneous uplink peak data rate of 50Mbit/s in a 20MHz uplink spectrum (i.e. 2.5 bit/s/Hz)
Cell range:
5 km - optimal size
30km sizes with reasonable performance
up to 100 km cell sizes supported with acceptable performance
Cell capacity:
up to 200 active users per cell(5 MHz) (i.e., 200 active data clients)
Mobility
Optimized for low mobility(0-15km/h) but supports high speed
Latency (delay)
user plane < 5ms
control plane < 50 ms
Improved broadcasting
IP-optimized
Scalable bandwidth of 20MHz, 15MHz, 10MHz, 5MHz and <5MHz
Co-existence with legacy standards (users can transparently start a call or transfer of data in an area using an LTE standard, and, when there is no coverage, continue the operation without any action on their part using GSM/GPRS or W-CDMA-based UMTS)
LTE Advanced is a mobile communication 4G standard approved by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Jan 2012.
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads.
The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.
To be considered true 4G (also known as “IMT-Advanced”), a mobile network must fulfill a number of benchmarks, including offering a peak data rate of at least 100 megabits per second (Mb/s) when a user moves through the network at high speeds, such as in a car or train, and 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) when the user is in a fixed position.
The highest possible rates are never achieved in real world conditions. Actual rates will be variable, but we can expect LTE-A to be at least five times as fast as most LTE networks today, and that’s great news for video streaming.
LTE Advanced is supposed to provide higher capacity, an enhanced user experience, and greater fairness in terms of resource allocation.
It does this by combining a bunch of technologies, many of which have been around for some years, so we’re not really talking about the implementation of an entirely new system here.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

LTE-Advanced: Why? Where?
LTE Deployments are picking up but not without challenges
• Initial LTE rollouts in Asia have provided opportunities for many
lessons learned
• Key challenges facing larger scale small cell deployments,
including the complexity and cost of wireless backhaul and radio
interference
• When it comes to capacity management, redirection alone is not
sufficient
• Most of the traffic load is still indoors, small cells popping up and
so is the interference at radio side
– Dense deployments mean more interference
– Spectrum is limited, data usage is not!
LTE-A promises the much needed upsurge in network efficiency, increased
network capacity that is key to monetizing mobile broadband

Small Cells and Cost per Mbit/s….
• Coverage and Capacity are good
reasons for small cell rollout, but
“killer applications” is reducing the
cost of delivering each Mbit/s
• Mobile Data Traffic growth is a
“zero-sum game”…
• Growth will be limited unless “cost per
Mbit/s” to deliver mobile data decline.
Macro cell costs are not declining..
• Small Cell deployment is the best
tool to lower mobile carrier CAPEX
and OPEX, if done right…

LTE-Advanced: X2 Communications for eICIC
• At the heart of this LTE-Advanced eICIC is
extensive use of the X2 interface which
allows communications between RRMs
within each eNodeB.
• The X2AP interface was enhanced in Release 10
explicitly for eICIC and ABS
• X2 requires communications occur between
Macro and Pico, and Pico to Pico.
• The eICIC process ensures that traffic
scheduling by Macro and Pico eliminates
co-channel interference
• By stopping simultaneously use of time/frequency
resource blocks in locations where interference
would occur.

The Power of LTE-Advanced: eICIC and SON
• LTE-A eICIC and SON enables
aggressive deployment of LTE
small cells
• Allowing Time and Frequency
resource block re-use.
• Closely Coupled (Tri-sectored)
• Typically a Base Station with
multiple sectors that share the same
frequency. X2 communication over
Ethernet or internal messages
between sector RRMs
• Loosely Coupled (Omni)
• Auto-Optimizing and Configuring
cells that share the same spectrum
(i.e. N=1 re-use). X2

LTE-Advanced: Small Cell Deployment Life Cycle
• Small cell deployment requires
LTE-Advanced eICIC and SON.
• Elimination of co-channel
Interference by inter-cell
coordination
• capacity enhancement by optimal
UE to eNodeB mapping
• Remove the need for Frequency
Planning by Self Optimisation and
Self Configuration
• Cells automatically get
configured using combination
SON server and in-built
“distributed” SON.
• Without impacting / interfering with
existing network
• Removes the need for complex
network design ahead of
deployment
Step 1:
Typical Tri-Sector Macro-cell
deployment. Release 8/9 ICIC auto
configures sector radio interfaces using
X2 comms between sectors and
dynamically schedules traffic. SON not
required. Uses SFR
Step 2:
“Omni” small cells added to the
deployment. Small cells impact
resource block mapping. Static SON
and eICIC re-configs to ensure optimal
mapping. Uses ABS Patterns in areas
of co-channel overlap.
Step 3:
Mass deployment of Small Cells.
Dynamic SON and eICIC also drive Tx
powers and Range Extension bias to
best optimize resources across the
network. Uses ABS Patterns in areas
of co-channel overlap.
