Telecom Lead Asia: Telecom equipment maker Huawei has
proposed an LTE-Advanced Multi-Stream Aggregation (MSA) technology standard,
which is capable of increasing data rates at the cell edge.
The company claims that the MSA technology reduces the
number of handovers, lowering device power transmission and increasing device
standby time.
The MSA technology works in accordance with the concept
of delivering a borderless network and green wireless communications.
The MSA technology is a key component of Huawei No-Edge
Networks concept. The technology organizes macro cells to improve user data
rates at the cell’s edge.
In addition, the technology coordinates among various
networking scenarios to advance peak rates and simplify mobile management to
ensure a consistent user experience.
The company anticipates that MSA technology will improve
system performance at the cell’s edge by almost 30 percent.
Suitable for macro-micro HetNets, the MSA technology will
enable the user to receive downlink data and aggregate downlink data streams
from a cell or cell group with the best signal quality.
Similarly, the user will also be able to transmit uplink
data to a cell or cell group with the best signal quality.
The use of MSA technology allows users to receive
controlled signaling from macro cells and services from best quality HetNet
cell.
Huawei reckons that MSA technology will become a key
feature of the evolution to 3GPP LTE-Advanced standards.
The company claims that it has contributed 293 core
standards to the 3GPP LTE/LTE-Advanced standardization process, 20 percent of
the global total and the most of any other company.
Huawei completes multi-mode, LTE to GSM interoperability test
Last month, Huawei completed a multi-mode, LTE to GSM ANR
(Automatic Neighbor Relations) interoperability test.
