LTE networks are under increasing pressure due to the rapid growth of the subscriber base. The current heterogeneous LTE network architecture leads to overlapping coverage of multiple macro and micro cells, and the existing cell re-election mechanism cannot solve the problem of how to evenly distribute the different cells across these UEs. To address this network challenge, ZTE has proposed this MCLD research project.
Energy savings in connected homes: Broadband Forum TR-181 revolutionizes energy efficiency
Enabling connected devices in homes across Europe to enter standby mode could save enough energy to power up to 70 new small data centers across the continent, or the equivalent of a medium-sized city, the Broadband Forum predicts.
