Optimizing wireless and broadband internet services

engineer — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:37:22 +0000

More subscribers mean more international internet bandwidth should be prepared by telecommunication companies to carry out the traffic of wireless and broadband internet services from subscribers. Unfortunately, telecommunications companies can not keep continue to increase the bandwidth capacity due to financial issue. It is very expensive to lease internet bandwidth to international gateway. In addition some of telecommunication companies did not have transmission backbone to reach international internet gateway. It means, telecommunication companies should lease transmission backbone and international internet bandwidth. They should invest much more to anticipate the spike of traffic from wireless and broadband internet services

There are many ways to optimize wireless and broadband internet services instead of increase more international internet bandwidth. They are;

1. Applying data accelerator with client server platform

With data accelerator, wireless and broadband internet subscribers will have multiple choices to display the type of internet traffic they will receive on the laptop/computer. Data accelerator can improve the speed of internet access experienced by wireless and broadband internet subscriber while they use client software. Basically data accelerator is client server platform where the entire of internet traffic will be forwarded by server to international internet gateway and server will cache it. While wireless and broadband internet subscriber activate the client software, server will reduce and remove some unnecessary packets before subscriber receive the traffic. It is very important applying data accelerator to the wireless and broadband internet service to achieve stable connection and speed

2. Bandwidth management

Telecommunication companies can not manage the behavior of wireless and broadband internet service to limit the download file, real time streaming video (RTSP) and attaching huge file while sending e-mail. Telecommunication companies can not say to wireless and broadband internet service to limit them. What they can do is manage the bandwidth to the entire of purpose while subscriber access to the internet. Telecommunication companies used to will manage the total of international internet bandwidth they have and divide it into several segments. For example, telecommunication companies will limit download access to have only maximum 30 Mbps, http protocol will have 50 Mbps, and Real Time Streaming Video (RTSP) file will have 20 Mbps etc. Bandwidth management makes sure that each protocol and application will have dedicated bandwidth and they will be interrupted when one protocol or application was saturated

Data accelerator and Bandwidth Management will reduce many complaints of wireless and broadband internet service and give significant benefits to the wireless and broadband internet subscribers

Voice over IP (VOIP) service

engineer — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:24:51 +0000

Telecommunication companies used to deploy Voice over IP (VOIP) service to serve their own subscribers while they want to make an international call instead of using International Direct Dial (IDD) service from their competitor. It is different with IDD service, VOIP service required subscriber to dial using certainty prefix number created by its telecommunication company while they want make an international call. Meanwhile on the IDD service, telecommunication companies should have a IDD license given by telecommunication regulatory
Voice over IP (VOIP) can be done by using existing network infrastructures and insert one or more new network element for voice compression purpose. To have Voice over IP (VOIP) service, telecommunication companies should insert/deploy network infrastructures such as;

1. Voice over IP (VOIP) gateway

Voice over IP (VOIP) gateway responsible to handle all international calling services were dialed by subscribers. The main function of Voice over IP (VOIP) gateways are compressing the voice, routing the call, digit number translation policy and change the packet to IP base. Voice over IP (VOIP) gateway retrieves subscriber’s call from Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) and the process the call before deliver it to the destination number. Voice over IP (VOIP) gateway will generate the call detail report (CDR) when a call is established between source number (A number) and destination number (B number)

2. Internet bandwidth

Voice over IP (VOIP) service is internet protocol (IP) bases packet which mean that call will be delivered to destination number to the IP packet. To deliver the Voice over IP (VOIP) service, telecommunication companies require international internet bandwidth where the calls will come and go. Telecommunication companies used to already have international internet bandwidth either they leased from Internet Service Provider (ISP) or they build by their selves for many purpose. It means that no issue on the international internet bandwidth while telecommunication companies plan to have international internet bandiwdht

3. International Voice over IP (VOIP) partner

Telecommunication companies than need international Voice over IP (VOIP) partner that responsible to the end of destination number. More often, international Voice over IP (VOIP) partner will have another Voice over IP (VOIP) partner as well to deliver the call to destination number

The benefit of Voice over IP (VOIP) service is cheap tariff rather than IDD service. Voice over IP (VOIP) service is quite easy to be deployed rather than IDD service which require dedicated international link gateway with high capacity.

PDSN: The Central processing of Data Service

engineer — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:28:19 +0000

When subscriber makes a dial session to have data service (wireless or mobile broadband internet service) on the CDMA platform, the first stage it will go through the telecommunication system such as BTS, BSC and MSC. Mobile Switching (MSC) will indicate that it is a data service session than MSC will forward the request to the Public Data Serving Node (PDSN). PDSN is the central processing of data service on the CDMA platform. In term of voice session it has the same function as MSC meanwhile SMS service, it is like Short Messaging Service Centre (SMSC).

PDSN process the request before subscriber reach the internet and do the necessary action to make sure that the session reach the right another telecommunication network while make a data service session. Globally, PDSN has functions as below;

1. Manage the radio-packet (RP) interface that connect to BSC

As we know that the main issue on wireless internet service is lack of Radio Frequency (RF). While subscriber is connected but do nothing (dormant time) session between subscriber, BTS and BSC will be terminated but connection between BSC to PDSN still there until subscriber browse to generate the traffic

2. Provide routing and packet management service

Session from subscriber will be routed to internet gateway so then subscriber able to browse to internet. In another case subscribers will browse to internal application service such as Value Added Service (VAS). PDSN will route the subscriber’s request to proper application service

3. Applies IP services

Each session from subscriber will be allocated a certainty IP Pool. Each session has different IP Pool. PDSN will allocate this IP Pool to each subscriber

4. Collects packet billing data

Usually charging system is done by another network element (charging gateway). PDSN will forward the charging process to the another network element

5. Authentication packet connections

At the first when the subscriber make a dial up session, PDSN will sent to authentication to AAA server to identify whether this is valid subscriber or not

The important thing related to PDSN is Authentication, Accounting and Authorization (AAA) process. Accounting is related to charging process that will be done by charging gateway. Subscriber will be charged based on policy was applied on the charging gateway to each subscriber. Authentication process is identification process to each subscriber before they are allowed to access the internet. The things that will be checked by Authentication server are account (username and password) and mobile phone number(MIN – Mobile Identification Number). Meanwhile Authorization process is the access policy to the subscriber

How to implement BREW services?

engineer — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:15:43 +0000

Value Added Service (VAS) through mobile internet service is giving flexibility for the telecommunication company to custom existing telecommunication service they already run or create new innovation based on subscribers request. BREW platform gives more choices for Telecommunication Company to create many Value Added Service through mobile internet service which embedded on the subscriber’s mobile phone. Usually there are two mechanisms how the telecommunication company implement Value Added Service (VAS) through mobile internet service based on BREW platform at their bundling mobile phone;

1. Static BREW service

BREW service include client on mobile phone and service which handle application and content management. Static BREW service means that when a telecommunication company plan to create more applications, mobile phones which embedded BREW platform as a client will not be able to be upgraded or modified to the different application. Applications what has been inserted to this mobile phone can be changed to different one. In other words, if Telecommunication Company creates new BREW service, subscriber should change the mobile phone to be able to access new BREW service. In this mechanism, subscriber will have limited service. it is what has been installed on the existing mobile phone

Dynamic BREW service

Dynamic BREW service is giving more choices to subscribers since they can add or change to the new BREW service. This mechanism is giving flexibility to the subscriber to choose which service they love. BREW platform is QUALCOM property. Telecommunication Company should share the revenue to QUALCOM once they agree to deploy BREW service. Usually QUALCOM will charge each application that they have been offered to their subscribers. It means that more application, there will more revenue should be shared to QUALCOM

Telecommunication services based on BREW platform can be update any time when a special moment come or what the popular trend being interested by many people. To accommodate new BREW service through mobile internet service, Telecommunication Company should take different effort depending on what mechanism they have been deployed;

1) Static BREW service

As the existing mobile phone embedded BREW platform will be not able to access new BREW service, Telecommunication Company should produce new mobile phone with new BREW service embedded and add new application on the BREW server. It means that telecommunication company need to spend much money to produce million mobile phones supported with new BREW application

2) Dynamic BREW service

As the existing mobile phone is allowed to modify, change or remove BREW application, then Telecommunication Company only need to add new BREW application on the BREW server. It means that Telecommunication Company will save much money as they do not need to produce million mobile phones
