What is QoS and Why is it Important?

Enables different types of traffic to share the resources
Applications can be treated with different priority based on their QoS constraints

4.0

Prioritize by packet TYPE

AS Application Signaling DS Delay Sensitive

RS Rate Sensitive
BE Best Effort Each Packet gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it.

13

Faster Sector Switching

4.0

Rev 0: DRC alone indicates ATs intent to switch cells AT waits on new sector for data transition DSC Channel indicates ATs intent to switch cells Data Source Control (DSC) channel allows the AT to send its cell selection independent of the DRC

AN begins the transition to the new cell while the AT continues to use its DRC to receive data from the current cell

Minimizes inter-cell handoff time and reduces overall latency

RNC

Ready for transmission

Serving sector Handoff zone New sector

R5.0: Enhanced Quality of Service

More capacity & robustness for real-time app

5.0

> More QoS flows (up to 7) to support different type of applications

Specifically target for VoIP and Push-to-Talk (PTT). Separation of VoIP and PTT flows = More optimal performance & capacity for each.

> Dynamic allocation of QoS resources = Ability to support more users with better resource utilization.
Delay Sensitive Flow
VoIP/VT audio bearer w/ multiple frame bundling VoIP/VT audio bearer w/ single frame bundling PTT audio bearer w/ multiple frame bundling PTT audio bearer w/ single frame bundling

Delay Performance Better

High priority Applications, e.g. voice packets

Application Signaling Flow Rate Sensitive Flow

Signaling for low latency Applications

High bandwidth Applications, e.g. video streaming Delay tolerant Applications e.g. web surfing.

Best Effort Flow

R5.0: Better Spectral Efficiency

Enhanced Multi-flow Packet Application (EMFPA)

5.0

> With EMFPA, Nortel 1xEV-DO R5.0 will substantially reduce the overhead message for packet voice Via the use of packet-based RLP, instead of PPP/HDLC. And Robust Header Compression (RoHC), which provide compression on the IP, UDP and RTP headers. > For instance, a voice header of 40 bytes can be reduced to just about 2 bytes. Together with 22 bytes of VoIP audio data, the total of 24 bytes can now be carried in a single reverse link 1xEV-DO Rev A subframe.

Higher Spectral Efficiency with EMFPA means More Capacity for VoIP users Less delay for voice applications

Single EV-DO Subnet

Up to 4 RNCs can be clustered together Clustering software works with current and future RNC hardware platforms Mix of chassis with Existing Modules and chassis with High Capacity modules Benefits of RNC Cluster w/ full mesh architecture: Lower cost of ownership DO session load sharing across all RNCs within cluster Seamless growth and expansion without service interruptions Geo-redundancy with RNC Cluster: Reliability robustness

Flexible Architecture to allow for Scalable Expansion RNC Clustering & Load Sharing: Cost $aving Both CapEx and OpEx !!!

Clustering: Seamless Network Growth

Pre-Cluster adds are expensive, time-consuming

5.0

Case 1: NO RNC Clustering

RNC 1 RNC 2 RNC 1 RNC 2

RNC 3

New DO sites Rehomed Sites

RNC 3

Growth in a particular RNC drives the demand to re-distribute the traffic load to other neighboring RNCs.

Re-distribute = Rehome DOM to neighboring RNCs = New RNC borders

New borders = another round of inter-RNC optimization..! (est. of more than $119k per Rehome) & Customer Service Interruption..!!!
25

Clustering: Seamless Network Growth

Improving Performance, Reducing Cost

5.0

Case 2: With RNC Clustering

One Logical RNC

New DO sites

One Logical RNC

Growth in traffic demand in particular areas can/will be absorbed or shared across a larger resource pool within the cluster. Thus, still NO RNC borders, and NO need for optimization. Superior Network Performance by nature Reducing both CapEx and OpEx.

Advertised Average Peak Rates

Typical download speeds average 6001400 kbps based on our network tests with 5 MB FTP data files, without compression. Typical upload speeds average 500800 kbps. Actual speeds and coverage may vary. If usage exceeds 5 GB/line/month, we reserve the right to reduce throughput speeds to a maximum of approximately 200 Kbps.

With the evolution to EV-DO Revision A, users in markets where it is rolled out, will experience faster average download speeds of 600 kbps - 1.4 Mbps and average upload speeds of 350 - 500 kbps.
