LTE Networks
SMEC, a telecommunications hardware company, announced on August 8 that it obtained a patent for its solution to optimize LTE networks.
Due to the recent accelerated growth in data communication services, the expansion and use of LTE services among communications common carriers is increasing rapidly. In times of the sudden growth of supply & demand, technologies to prevent an overload in telecommunications networks and those of increasing efficiency in wireless bandwidth usage are essential.
The patent for nodes for LTE networks and paging methods acquired by SMEC is intended to increase the efficiency of LTE wireless resources and decrease an overload in telecom networks at the same time. The method is designed to actively & intelligently control the paging processes needed to assign wireless resources to terminals through monitoring of control procedures among numerous nodes between the control equipment of LTE base stations (MME) and LTE base stations (eNodeB).
It also considers flexible applications in commercial service networks, since a change in the existing equipment and network is not necessary, and a method to enable the application of technology during service is included.
A company official said, "Telecommunications service providers will consider the expansion of LTE network infrastructure, as well as efficient ways for investment, which can provide affordable and stable networks to customers based on LTE trends."
He added, "This patent gives synergy, which makes the distinctive features of our LTE femtocell solution possible, and is applicable as independent products for a variety of purposes as well. It is expected to positively contribute to both market expansion related to LTE product lines and sales."
