Webinar 2:
Core Network Optimization: The Control Plane, Data Plane and Beyond
The increased data volume, combined with the spike in adoption of small cells and IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS), is causing a significant rise in the signaling traffic in the 3G and LTE Core Network. There is a clear need to optimize and load balance the signaling traffic so as to not overload the network elements and thus negatively impact the service experience for the users.
This webinar will look at the sources of the problems affecting the core network and some of the approaches to optimize service delivery without diminishing the QoS/QoE of end users. It will discuss a number of solutions combining network analysis, content optimization and other innovative approaches to increase capacity of the core network and policy enforcement devices.
Topics covered:
- Changes to backhaul (RAN cloud, SDN, etc.)
- Optimizing the smartphone and small cell load on the signaling plane
- Optimizing the flow of Diameter messages between the EPC network elements
- Using network probes for statistical data and automated provisioning
- Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) advances to increase capacity and reduce cost-per-bit
- Content optimization (video, web, caching)
