What is 5G ?

-
It is a mobile broadband system that will provide higher performance than is available today’s most advanced 4G networks.  These performance improvements will be measurable in terms of speed, latency, reliability, scale and openness.  The 5G system will achieve this higher performance by integrating many new devices over multiple wireless technologies with new management and orchestration systems.  A 5G system will include existing and new technologies such as: LTE, new radio technology, highly variable end devices especially for M2M, virtualized software and management and orchestration systems.  There will be a single global 5G standard to ensure global coverage.  It will be deployed in commercial service by 2020, but components may be ready earlier. 

The main focus is now on research where evolution of existing technologies is on-going in parallel with innovation of new technologies. A lot of research is done in cooperation with universities and partners. By join forces, we can together understand the new use cases and the new requirements that will be put on 5G.
Pre-standardization and technology development will be on-going until 2017. Standardization activities to set the requirements and make 5G a global standard starts at 2017. In parallel, trials and test systems will be up and running. First commercial system will most likely be deployed by 2020.


   Requirements on 5G
The exact performance levels and requirements that systems and equipment will need to meet to label themselves 5G are yet to be defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This will take place somewhere around 2016-2018.
At this stage, we are using expectations levels that where set in the METIS project*). These expectations are:

·         Handle 1000 times the mobile data traffic of today
·         Billions of connected devices
·         100 times user data rates
·         Latency reduced by up to a factor of 5
·         10 times the battery life
·         Different devices: from mobiles, tablets and wearables, to cars, trucks, bikes, cereal packets… anything
·         Data integrity

SCFT - Single Cell Function test

-
Single Cell Function test SCFT is for verifying whether individual BTS works well or not, by making a single cell function test of BTS hardware and software. Essential items to be tested are as follows: 1) BTS Transmitter Output Measurement Test 2) Initial parameter establishment (Pilot PN/System ID/Site ID/Frequency, Neighbor List) 3) Call Origination and Termination Test 4) Softer Handoff Test/Antenna installation check (Direction, Tilt, Transmission Line) 5) Single Cell Coverage Test 6) Noise Floor Test 7) Parameter check.

Troubleshooting for GSM KPIs (SD Block & SD Drop)

-
KPIs to be monitored: ·             SD Blocking ·             SD Drop SDCCH Channel: ·    SDCCH channel is a dedicated channel which is using for LAC updation, Call Setup, SMS in Ideal mode. It works in UL & DL SD Blocking: ·    SD Blocking means that you are not getting SD resource for the call origination. When MS connects with Network then RACH and AGCH are provided. After AGCH, SDCCH is provided but if SDCCH is not provided at this time due to some problem or due to unavailable of SD by BSC. KPI Formula in Ericsson: ·             SDCCH CONGESTION = (CCONGS / CCALLS) * 100 ·             CCONGS - Congestion counter. ·  ...

PS core network

Image
The PS core network consists of two parts, the traditional General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) core network and the new Evolved Packet System (EPS) core network. The PS core network connects mobile subscribers to Packet Data Networks (PDNs) such as the Internet, corporate networks or operator services networks.  a functional overview of the PS core network. Logical entities and interfaces are shown in black and form a 2G/3G network, while the blue boxes and lines in Figure  show the LTE/EPC related parts. The LTE/EPC network can be regarded as an extension and evolution of existing 2G/3G networks. From a node implementation perspective, there is no strict border between the two networks. The corresponding logical entities of GPRS and EPS networks can be deployed concurrently in Ericsson PS core nodes, such as the SGSN-MME and EPG; these are marked in red. In addition, Ericsson GPRS nodes can be upgraded with EPC functionality by software only. Network evolution i...
