This article presents a consideration of a new robust telemetry (TM) system for future launchers. The main target is to increase the maximum data rate of TM system to at least 5 Mbps with improvements such as more efficient physical layer, advanced antenna solutions, lossless data compression, satellite relays, and adaptive coding and modulation (ACM). An extension module for Network Simulator 3 (ns-3)...
In 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), enhancements of Diverse Data Applications (eDDA) work item has targeted at improving always-on connectivity for smartphones, identifying and specifying mechanisms at the Radio Access Network (RAN) level to enhance the ability of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) to handle diverse traffic profiles. The key aspects are the Radio Resource Control (RRC) release...
In wireless mobile networks quality of user experience changes dynamically and depends on large variety of factors. Because of that mobile operators are willing to timely and effectively evaluate provided Quality of Service (QoS) in their networks. Nowadays the main tool for monitoring network state and performance is drive testing. To replace this expensive and mostly manual procedure, concept of...
In cellular networks it is envisioned an explosion of diverse data applications running in smart phones, which could increase significantly not only user plane but also control plane load in the network. Smart phones and their always-on applications introduce several challenges: From the network perspective, an increased amount of UEs/applications can increase the signaling load due to frequent state...
This paper describes how LTE Rel' 8 power headroom report (PHR) can be used to detect outage problems in LTE networks. The paper outlines the proposed minimization of drive tests use case for PH triggered measurements, alleviates the problems in this proposal, and describes improvements which can help operators to gather more coverage and outage related information from their networks. The article...
In this article we study and analyze the problems related to power limitation in Long Term Evolution (LTE) uplink (UL). Power control (PC) has been specified for LTE UL to account for pathloss and slow fading variations and minimize the interference. The maximum transmission power has been limited to 23 dBm. Especially in sparse networks, this can lead to so called power limitation, where the terminals...
In this paper we propose a radio problem detection based rescue handover for 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE). The radio problem detection based handover algorithm takes advantage of already existing Radio Link Failure (RLF) detection mechanism specified in 3GPP for LTE. In coverage limited scenarios as well as challenging interference and mobility conditions, the event triggered handover measurement...
The purpose of this paper is benchmark the performance of voice over IP in high speed downlink packet access and in long term evolution networks. Benchmarking is conducted in homogeneous and heterogeneous scenario layouts assuming realistic propagation data generated over Tokyo map. Tools used in this paper are two fully dynamic time driven system simulators which have been used to support 3GPP standardization...
This paper proposes a potential enhancement for Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. In Third Generation Partnership Project's (3GPP's) Release 8 it is specified that User Equipment (UE) may be configured with DRX which controls the UE's Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring activity. By allowing discontinuous monitoring of PDCCH the UE can...
In this paper we study the performance of idle mode mobility state detection schemes targeted for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Evolved UTRAN. The purpose is to compare the mobility state detection scheme specified in 3GPP Release 8 and a dual trigger scheme for 3GPP Release 9 using different User Equipment (UE) velocity conditions and cell reselection triggering sensitivity levels. A...
In this paper we study and benchmark the performance of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) Downlink with constant bit rate type traffic. In addition a non-regular simulation scenario is considered using realistic propagation data and base station positions related to Tokyo city downtown area. HSDPA was introduced in...
In this paper, we present a fully dynamic simulative analysis of the Downlink (DL) Voice-over-IP (VoIP) performance in 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) with both Uplink (UL) and DL control channel constraints. In UL the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) capacity affects the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) resolution and in DL the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) capacity has an impact to...
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the trade-off conditions between battery saving opportunities and long term evolution network performance. To achieve this goal voice over IP with discontinuous reception is studied. Analysis is conducted with vast amount of different settings, including on duration, inactivity and discontinuous reception cycle timers. The quality of service and battery saving...
