BIG DATA, QOE, NETWORK ORCHESTRATION AND ESON

Context-aware and QoE-aware scheduling is a


fundamental feature requirement of evolved-SON.

QoE-aware and Context/Service aware communications


will also be a focal point of network design and planning.
The efficiencies introduced by the technological
evolutions are only a part of the success story of LTE-
Advanced and 5G. Another fundamental part of this
success is the innovations introduced to the processes of
designing, dimensioning and planning the network.

The required smart planning needs to comprehend the


diversity of technical solutions, the diversity of services to
deliver, the type of content and traffic to serve and the
optimal geographical location of the radio access and the
network service-oriented slice servers.

BIG DATA, QOE, NETWORK ORCHESTRATION AND ESON

Netview 360
For such smart network design and planning to occur, one
needs to understand the UE QoE requirements and its
relationship with the network QoS performance.

Big Data will assist in the integration of multiple and


format diverse and unstructured data.

This data is then linked and correlated in a layered


approach to derive sense from it.

Smart Capex planning criteria should then be applied for


the identification and prioritisation of the those solutions
that will have the greatest benefit to the QoE and the
Visualisation of high priority
location with Pain Point highest return for the MNO.

WIRELESS BACKHAUL
Wireless backhaul will play a fundamental role for quick and reliable spectrum densification and deployment of HetNet
architectures.

Technologies like mmW offers wider bandwidths than traditional uW and competes with fibre in terms of capacity.

With Netview 360 we can reliably select the best location with high accuracy using multiple and customizable, following a
automated decision flow.

ADVANCED PLANNING FOR BACKHAUL AND FRONTHAUL
High resolution RAN pain-point
analysis combined with pole
categorisation and prioritisation for
the deployment of mmW solution.

Several criteria taken into


consideration for the pole selection:
• Best location from the pov of RAN
technical requirements;
• Creates competitive advantage or
resolves a disadvantage;
• Distance to the fibre backbone.

Poles with higher ranking means that:


these are closer to the best location
to tackle the RAN pain-point;
improves the competitive position;
and are CAPEX optimised since less
trenching is required due lower
distances to fibre backbone.

CONVERGED CUSTOMER-CENTRIC QOE & ROI
TRADITIONAL NETWORK PLANNING
The Investment in 5G, coming after heavy investment in LTE and LTE-Advanced network, imposes that new deployment of
technologies and capabilities must be driven by Smart CAPEX planning to achieve maximised Return on Investment on the
deployed assets.

ANALYTICS: WHERE TO SPEND YOUR MONEY BY IDENTIFYING
THE MOST PROBLEMS FOR THE MOST USERS

Low pain

Pain point balanced approach with traffic


Pain Point Scoring
• Combine multiple layers (technical and non technical empirical and
High pain predictive)

Maximize ROI using smart analytics • Assign weightings based on importance


• Ability to see multiple scenarios such as balanced, coverage only and
capacity only
• Generate individual layers by band and frequency
• Combine all bands in the analysis for a network wide composite view
• Combine all technologies for a network composite view

What the maps demonstrate: If you fix the areas of high pain you are fixing the worst performing
areas and will improve the worst KPI’s. With the inclusion of the traffic map you will be improving
the worst performing areas for the most number of people.
