How to help the network work faster smartphone

Nokia-Siemens

Nokia Siemens Networks revealed that the latest iPhone software from Apple’s support network features to reduce the signaling smart phones and network congestion.

Tests by Nokia Siemens Networks showed that the software supports the latest iPhone Network Controlled Fast Dormancy. With this feature, network and handset to work together to create the best conditions for smart phones to work quickly, but has a long battery life and reduce network congestion.

Network Controlled Fast Dormancy is also supported by the release of the latest mobile broadband software from Nokia Siemens Networks (RU20). Tests indicate that both releases are compatible.

Network Controlled Fast Dormancy very helpful in overcoming network bottlenecks caused by smart phones.

The problem lies in the amount of signaling generated by the smart phone, up to 8 times signaling a laptop that uses a dongle. When not in use for some time, the smart phone will go into Idle state. To ‘awaken’ re a smart phone is required approximately 30 exchanges signals with the network until the smart phone can be used.

This signaling takes time, up to 2 seconds, so as to avoid delays that make users frustrated, some networks to keep the smart phone remains in Active mode to reduce response time. But this makes the battery-intensive, so that handset manufacturers to develop software that returns Fast Dormancy smart phone to a battery-saving Idle condition very quickly.

The problem is that many smart phone application is set to connect to the network every few seconds, such as email application that checks for new messages. Signaling increased when smart phones are often changed from one condition to another condition and it is spending capacity of the network, so that sometimes makes other phones can not make calls.

Nokia Siemens Networks to overcome this problem with different approaches. Rather than be kept in a state of ‘idle’, the handset dipertahakankan in one other condition called Cell_PHC. This condition does not use the battery more than the Idle condition and only require between 3 to 12 signals to switch to Active condition to transmit data. Fewer signals mean delays for the user cut into half-second, network bottlenecks are removed and smart phone batteries last longer.

Network Controlled Fast Dormancy help handset using Dormancy Cell_PCH or Fast, depending on the network, to maximize durability

Batteries and minimize signaling. Nokia implements the same features in the smart phone in the second quarter of 2010. Apple’s new software release represents another major effort undertaken by industry to reduce the signaling traffic in the network, which is good news for operators.

Nokia and Apple to send half of all smart phones in the world, all of these contribute to a better user experience and reducing costs for operators. Nokia Siemens Networks is the only vendor that supports Cell_PCH in commercial networks currently operating.

Nokia Siemens Networks also manages the Radio Network Controllers (RNCs), which manages connections and mobility of data, efficiently, thus reducing the likelihood of network overload and bad user experience.
