Practical schemes for throughput improvement in live networks

Abstract

The increasing demand for data usage drives the efforts for higher throughput in telecom and data networks. Having higher throughput helps users to save time. Evidences from existing operators also demonstrate that when subscribers experience higher throughput, their data usage increases which provides a recurring revenue boost. Operators not only enhance user experience and revenue, they also make the most efficient use of their spectrum and infrastructure investments. In this paper some practical methods for throughput optimization are investigated in live networks with variety of vendors - Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei and ZTE. Since the next networks will be a kind of heterogeneous networks then good performance of each technology can contribute to best performance of overall network and lead to subscriber satisfactory.
