 Overview of
PRS O&M Visibility Features

Coming of the MBB Era

As more and more smartphones are used and telecom operators offer more attractive pricing
strategies for mobile broadband services, the number of MBB subscribers increases quickly. Mobile
apps are ever-changing, and new services (with video as the representative) develop rapidly, which
pose increasing demand on user experience.

Defining and measuring user experience is the new standard for

experience-based network deployment in the MBB era.

- VoLTE Visibility

Splendid Debut of VoLTE

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is an IP data transmission technology with services over LTE networks.
VoLTE provides both high-speed data services and high-quality audio and video calls and enables
data and voice services to be carried on the same network.

High-quality audio and video services + rich user experience = VoLTE

Throughput is the basis for ensuring user experience of data services. Operation brands are
associated with a high throughput, and good user experience is associated with the throughput.

Good user experience begins with a high throughput.

Current Status and Expectations

Identifying low-throughput regions
(current status)
The method based on manual DTs and offline tools
is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After a
complaint is lodged, it takes a long time to identify
causes and resolve the problem.
Identifying low-throughput regions
(expectation)
The immense amount of data reported by live
network subscribers is used. Telecom operators
can quickly learn real experience of live network
subscribers in real time.

 Improving the throughput of valuable
regions (current status)
The analysis granularity can be refined only to the
differences between urban and rural areas and
between cities, and therefore refined investment is
impossible.
5Mbps
Improving the throughput of valuable
regions (expectation)
The analysis granularity can be refined to the
differences between areas in the same city,
between sites in the same area, and between
corners in the same street. This allows limited
investment to be used in the most valuable place,
which improves investment efficiency.
