DIAMETER SIGNALLING


ISSUE 05 2014


The transport layer is not only important in the data analysis process – it also plays a significant part in the control of data consumption and the volume of transactions


LTE has opened up a number of alternative revenue channels for operators but because there are signalling deficiencies in the network, there is a high risk that service providers will miss these essential opportunities to accurately bill users accordingly


There are core elements of the LTE network infrastructure that are simply inadequate and unable to support data-centric applications and users. When it comes to data analysis, it goes far beyond simply collecting user data for marketing purposes; it’s paramount to providing a better service to subscribers. If signalling transport protocol isn’t up to the task then there is minimal communication between the network and the operator.


The transport layer is not only important in the data analysis process – it also plays a significant part in the control of data consumption and the volume of transactions. This has become especially important following the vast uptake in data-centric applications. For Instant Messaging (IM) and VoIP communication along with video content downloads and sharing, which typically cause the most strain on the network, the transport layer is a vital component for operators.
