Market panorama
Mobile data is exploding, however
New and greater competition

for a share of the
mobile telecom wallet
Mobile voice ARPU

and value falling
Mobile Market
Dynamics
Mobile demand increasing and

reaching capacity
Rapidly changing wireless

ecosystem and business models
Web 2.0 and new multimedia content will drive ever-growing bandwidth demand
Networks are changing as the world goes mobile with data

Cell sites get smaller/more numerous

Heterogeneous access networks will exist
for some time
Flat, end-to-end IP as unpredictability of
data requires fast adaptation
Broadband applications
Diversified QoS requirements
Ubiquitous service
Todays mobile end-users behaviors
are shaping tomorrows wireless networks
Traditional core networks are increasingly complex and the platforms will be totally
inadequate and too expensive to meet future capacity and service delivery challenges
Customer challenge
and opportunity
Mobile operator drivers LTE not a question of if, but when
Increased capacity, coverage and

performance
Data traffic exponential growth from increasing

demand for data services music downloading,
web browsing, video streaming, which demand
higher data rates, capacity and better network
performance.
Reduced OPEX and CAPEX
Disconnect between traffic and revenues putting

pressure on operators margin. Increasing focus
on lower cost per bit. Scissor effect drives the
need for network transformation solutions that
cope with the data traffic/revenue challenge.
New revenue sources and business

models
Social and technology trends are leading to a

mobile traffic explosion that will continue in the
next year. Video and content-rich services are
key for growth. New value chain emerges with
ACPs to monetize the network assets.
Ubiquitous service availability and

interworking
Depending on their business plans, operators will

deploy different strategies to interwork existing
2G/3G networks with LTE to provide seamless
mobility and service continuity at reduced costs.

Relative MME capacity weighted

factor (0-55) is set by MME within
one MME pool and passed down to
eNB
eNB selects one of MME based on
received MME weighted factor
If weighted factor is same among
MME(s), eNB selects MME in round
robin manner
eNB does not select MME from the
other MME pool even though it
might have IP connection to
neighbor MME pool in edge eNBs
Edge eNB
MME paging
The MME provides the service provider with the flexibility to provision a
paging strategy that controls aspects of paging such as:
Maximum number of paging attempts (up to 4 attempts)
Paging method used for each page attempt
T3413 timer interval (interval to wait for page response) used for each page attempt
The following paging methods will initially be supported by the MME:

Page only at the last seen eNodeB
Page in all eNodeBs for last seen Tracking Area
Page in all eNodeBs for last seen Tracking Area plus all eNodeBs for the neighboring TAs of the
last seen Tracking Area
Functionality to measure effectiveness of paging

Overall effectiveness of Paging
Effectiveness of Paging by page attempt
Effectiveness of Tracking Area Update procedure
Percentage of time UE found in last seen TA (from PCMD)
Per Call/Connection Measurement Data PCMD collection

PCMD is a real-time diagnostics and
troubleshooting tool that provides
records for call/connection information,
for example, call duration, quality and
call disposition, and other important call
events occurred during the call, such as
call setup, call failure, handover and
call termination
Each PCMD record is created on per
call/connection basis
PCMD also provides user throughput
related information so the operators
can leverage the data to evaluate
subscriber experience
The PCMD function is
complementary to service
measurements more UE
experience focused
Examples show a) connection attempts over time sorted by device type

b) single user ping-ponging between two cells

Full R8 EPC
S-GW as the anchor for intra-3GPP mobility
Intra-3GPP HOs are modeled on S1-based HO
Idle-mode Signaling Reduction (ISR) benefit possible (paging can be initiated from S-GW)
The proposed approach

Introduce LTE based on Gn/Gp I-RAT interworking
Keeps 2G/3G network stable during the LTE introduction period
Data cards are not particularly mobile so impact of incremental idle-mode signaling is not huge
Deploy Full R8 when ready

Assumptions on mobility and subscriber use pattern shall be tracked by careful monitoring and trend analysis of idle-mode
signaling load expected to be initially low for data cards
Idle-Mode Signaling Reduction (ISR)

Problem: Registration ping-ponging can
generate excess signaling traffic in the network
(see below)
RAU
TAU
RAU if no ISR or
ISR with expired
periodic timer
Solution: ISR allows UEs to dual-register but

now paging in both networks is required (only
possible in R8)
Update only if
periodic timer
expires
TAU/RAU if no ISR

Industry analysts comment on Alcatel-Lucent 9471 MME
The fact that youre splitting out the control and bearer planes makes their platform choices logical. It
mirrors the split in the architecture.
We believe Alcatel-Lucent has a viable product strategy and will gain market share in the packet core as
operators migrate to LTE and converged 2G/3G/LTE cores.
Gabriel Brown Senior Analyst with Heavy Reading
Heavy Reading| Vol. 7, No.11, November 2009|Evolved Packet Core for LTE
Alcatel-Lucent has a head start over Ericsson AB and Nokia Siemens Networks in
its understanding, expertise and deployment references for IP networks. If
Alcatel-Lucent can be fully competitive on the radio side of the LTE networks
equation, then with its IP pedigree the company has a very real chance to go
toe-to-toe with the big wireless vendors in LTE.

In the USA, Verizon Wireless is known for the high quality of its network
and we have relied on Alcatel-Lucent to provide us with a lot of the
building blocks of that high quality and we are going to do the same for
