At the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2014), ZTE in association with German mobile operator E-Plus and CloudStreet, has developed a technology to transmit HD video over TD-LTE wireless networks.
Using the CloudStreet capacity reservation system, the companies can plan live video transmission over the E-Plus 3.5G TD-LTE network extension, said ZTE.
With this technology, ZTE can handle 4k and 8k picture formats and provide 100 Mbps capacity over a 1 km radius from the nearest mobile network antenna. Using Quality of Service parameters used to maintain mobile network connections, the quality of the video signal can be assured.
E-Plus and ZTE have already cooperated to build UMTS and LTE FDD network in Germany.
ZTE said the CloudStreet model makes a capacity reservation on the network to carry high bit-rate applications like video transmissions.
The CloudStreet technology ensures that different capacities can be reserved for SD, HD, 4k and 8k streams. These different capacity products are created based on 3GPP standards that define the bandwidth requirements for different user profiles.
CloudStreet changes the profiles based on user need and network capacity and each profile has a defined time and location, making the CloudStreet model scalable to each network’s capacity.
The new 3.5G TD-LTE network is able to co-exist with the LTE FDD network and utilize the same core network, so that the 3.5G TD-LTE system can deliver more capacity.
