Network Optimization

The biggest challenge network operators often face is the continuous need to increase average revenue per user. To stay competitive Network operators embrace new technologies. In a heterogeneous communications network, Market forces such as traffic and subscriber growth, equipment cost reduction, and new technology penetration have a deep impact on network build outs. To overcome these challenges, operators adapt convergence technologies and transform themselves to provide quadrapule play services (voice, video, data and mobile).

With the emergence of multimedia services, such as Broadcast TV and Video on Demand network management is a challenge in order to guarantee a decent Quality of Experience (QoE) for each user. The wide variety of services require a QoE management on a per-user and per-service basis. This complexity can be daunting when the number of users accessing continuous multimedia traffic increases. It is essential to autonomously detect network problems, e.g. a congested link, bit errors on a link, etc. and determines an appropriate corrective action.

With the rapid development of radio access techniques and mobile devices, mobile web and video applications are considered as the major mobile data generators which account for nearly 20% to 72% of the total data traffic, respectively. Given limited bandwidth and unreliable wireless channels, content delivery in mobile networks usually experiences long delay. Mobile web applications consume low bandwidth, but are sensitive to network latency. Mobile subscribers have very little patience and tend to leave a web page if there is any sight of delay citing poor quality of service.

To keep the subscribers engaged with interesting content, mobile networks need quick solutions to improve quality of service and maintain quality f user experience.

Mobile video applications generate the largest wireless data traffic volume. Different video applications behave differently in term of bandwidth consumption, causing severe network congestion. Network operators typically use centralized network architectures that lead to long communication paths between end-users and servers, redundant network resources and increased latency.

To ensure the impact of traffic congestion is minimized while also ensuring sustained high service levels, acceleration of mobile web and video content delivery is crucial to enhance the quality of experience (QoE) of the subscribers.
