The Technology and Our World Today
Recently, 3GPP has shared the Non-StandAlone 5G New Radio (NR) details in Rel15. Naturally, everyone wants to know what changes and enhancements it holds to achieve the high throughput and low latency targets. So, I thought that I would write Read More
Since I got a lot of requests to explain the LTE paging mechanism and paging capacity, so I decided to write a couple of short articles on these topics. Paging is a mechanism to initiate services for UEs that are Read More
I explained the gains of optimizing the PDCCH (control part) of the LTE subframe in my previous article. Let’s have a look at the data part (PDSCH) and find out various ways to improve it’s efficiency. The spectral efficiency is Read More
Have you ever wondered about different types of port-channels that can be configured? In this article, I am going to explain common types of port-channels that you may come across under different scenarios. 1. EtherChannel or Link Aggregation: The original Read More
One of the most important KPI is the LTE Call Drop Rate. Every network is striving to improve this KPI and it has become more important in LTE since the introduction of VoLTE. In simple words, a call drop in Read More
This article explains all about MPLS VPNs and different VPN models based on MPLS technology. But before we start discussing MPLS VPNs, you should have an understanding of MPLS and its fundamentals that you can get from my article, Understanding MPLS Read More
There are many ways to optimize LTE throughput and I will try to cover all of them. The LTE throughput optimization procedure described in this article requires PDCCH enhancements. The general idea is that the LTE subframe is made up Read More
SFP stands for “small form-factor pluggable” and transceiver means a device that can both transmit and receive data. This article “SFP Transceivers Explained” is intended to describe all about SFP transceivers in detail that could help network professionals understand about Read More
The second major KPI for LTE is the LTE ERAB Success Rate which is also part of the accessibility. After the UE has completed the RRC Connection which has been explained in my previous article, LTE KPI Optimization: RRC Success Read More
Before we delve into understanding MPLS basics, I would like to share about what MPLS is and a few important MPLS terminologies. MPLS is an acronym for Multiprotocol Label Switching which is a type of data-carrying technique for high-performance telecommunications networks. Read More
