Why RAN Optimization?

Still today, often more than 50% of RANs core transmission capacity is reserved for 2G Abis/Ater voice traffic
Wasted bandwidth: Transmission resources are dedicated per cellular service

(2G, 3G, HSPA) and per site

Huge Inefficiency: 2G TDM static resource allocation, 3G protocol overhead

(ATM, RLC)

Optimization enables 100% dynamic transmission resource sharing

Reduces amount of bandwidth required for 2G traffic by 3x or 4x while making such bandwidth resource available for 3G & HSPA

11

Comtech EF Data Proprietary

Abis/Ater Optimization Technology

Up to 2:1 Bandwidth reduction on Abis traffic payload Less than 10kb/s per call (FR) compared to 26-36 Kbps BTS-IP / IP-RAN (+ToP overhead) and 18 Kbps BTS-IP / TDM-RAN with IP HC

Benefits of Abis Optimization (1)

Cell sites aggregation
2G Abis optimized bandwidth is traffic load (Erlang) dependant

Allow for traffic aggregation between cell sites IN THE RAN

(not possible with PWE)

2G RAN capacity can be now dimensioned based on Erlang instead of E1s

Additional 30% to 50% bandwidth gain 3:1 to 4:1 Ratio

13

Comtech EF Data Proprietary

Benefits of Abis Optimization (1)

Actual measured results 8 E1(16Mbps) Abis input
Total output bandwidth <4Mbps (4:1 optimization/ aggregation savings at

peak) with no drop in KPI

14

Comtech EF Data Proprietary

Benefits of Abis Optimization (2)

Multi- service Traffic Aggregation
2G, 3G, HSPA, CDMA, WiMAX
Dynamic bandwidth allocation between the different services and wireless

technologies.
User traffic Migration between 2G and 3G Peak hour is different for Voice & Data Services When no calls, all bandwidth available for data traffic

Benefits of Abis Optimization (3)

Traffic protection and enhanced availability
Degraded weather conditions: high capacity MW links may often go down ACM may help protect link through downgrading to lower modulation and improve link

sensitivity
but at the cost of reducing bandwidth and not having enough capacity for 2G traffic

BTS will drop-off the network

Abis optimization + bandwidth management enables protecting 2G traffic and

keep min. capacity for 3G + HSUPA traffic
