Tuning The RAN In Real Time To Optimize End-to-end Performance
Description
A conversation with Vicent Soler, CTO RAN Optimization, Astellia
At Astellia, troubleshooting, monitoring, automation and geolocation are the three pillars to support RAN optimization. With Vicent Soler, in the CTO Office of Astellia, we talked about how operators can rely on this functionality to improve performance and subscriber experience in their networks.
RAN optimization is more effective in real-time. Vicent told us: “The network is alive. It’s changing every minute. You need the means to keep the network under control.”
Operators who have massive maps of coverage can use geolocation. Vicent told us: “Since all the users of the network are becoming drive testers, you can create massive maps of coverage and of quality. Therefore, you can plan where you’re going to deploy new sites in the future. This is very useful for operators.”
For small-cell planning, Vicent told us: “Right now, operators are looking for solutions to offload the traffic from the macro cells, and having information about where subscribers are located is very useful to define the right position to deploy a new small cell.”
