RF Performance and Optimization

ZTE’s RF performance and optimization solutions

It is essential for operators to gain a foothold in the fiercely competing markets by forging quality radio network services to users. RF performance and optimization is intended to realize the optimum performance with existing network configuration and give appropriate recommendations on future planning, construction and maintenance, through discovering and solving network problems with testing, monitoring, analysis and processing approaches.

ZTE’s effective RF performance and optimization solutions are to comprehensively address the challenges encountered by operators and ultimately realize high quality network operation with long-term stable performance.

Highlights of solutions

Rigorous and comprehensive management and work processes. ZTE has established work processes for various activities involved in optimization. The processes detail the organizational structures, stakeholders, duty matrixes, resource allocation, scheduling and acceptance criteria of optimization activities.

Qualified teams with rich engineering experience. ZTE has experience in global implementation of UMTS networks and a team of skilled technicians and experts. ZTE has also established good relationships with suppliers of outsourced testing to ensure the support for global network optimization projects.

A complete range of mature systems. The high performance of networks relies on interference control with elaborate FR optimization, and more on strong and flexible RRM algorithms. ZTE has developed the industry’s leading RRM algorithms with many related patents to ensure stable and efficient operation of networks.

Powerful tool kits. Tools are of undoubted importance to network planning and optimization personnel. Tools determine the results of projects to certain extents. Tools for network planning and optimization have shown the trend of automation, intelligence, high-end use and professionalism, and this is also how ZTE’s tools are evolving. Currently, ZTE has a complete set of tools for planning simulation, DT/CQT data collection and analysis, automatic network management analysis and mining, automatic optimization based on MR and network-wide signaling data, etc. These tools incorporate tremendous expertise to help engineers diagnose network problems and deliver networks of superior quality in a cost-effective and timely manner.

Continuous in-depth monitoring and analysis. Network optimization is a dynamic process with continuous activities. ZTE has set up a global network surveillance and assurance system which can be used to track and analyze all key networks, and immediately detect quality drop, capacity exceeding and other problems and take countermeasures, to maintain constant applications experienced by network users.
