LTE traffic analysis and application behavior characterization

摘要

The deployment of LTE and the explosion of smart-phones and tablet market increase the requirements of mobile connectivity, together with a change in the users expectations in terms of bandwidth, access speed, reliability and QoS man-agement. In this new network scenario, traffic characterization and monitoring is of paramount relevance in order to prevent possible pitfalls during the deployment of new services. Hence, the paper presents the traffic analysis of a deployed eNodeB in a commercial network. The analysis is aimed at detecting traffic features at call and frame level, also accounting for the handset types.
