DRX and Autonomous Measurement Gap
DRX and Autonomous Measurement Gap are key for efficient VoLTE service
deployment. DRX in connected mode allows minimizing the battery consumption of
the UE while optimizes the system access and load.
The Measurement Gap feature measures frequencies that the UE is not connected to
and allow UE mobility management by enabling the mobility from and towards other
base stations in the same or in other frequency using the same or other Radio Access
Technology. The Apex Lifestyle Small Cell is DRX and Autonomous Measurement
Gap are key technologies for an efficient VoLTE service deployment.
DRX in connected mode allows minimizing the battery consumption of the UE while
optimizes the system access and load. The Meas Gap allows measuring frequencies to
that the UE is not connected, allowing managing UE mobility, enabling the mobility
from and towards other base stations in the same or in other frequency using the same
or other Radio Access Technology.
The Apex Lifestyle Small Cell is configured by default with those two functions
activated.
RoHC
Robust Header Compression for the Radio Interface minimizes the load in systems
with high user density and high voice call load mixed with high data load. VoLTE like
services include headers which are almost the 60% of the overall payload. Even
though the Apex Lifestyle Small Cell does support it at a software level (without
hardware acceleration), the activation of this function could penalize the overall cell
performance as breaks the Zero-Buffer Copy datapath.
• RoHC is only implemented in VoLTE related E-RABs with QCI1 and QCI5.
• Robust Header Compression support for UDP, ESP, IP and RTP profiles. Both V1
and V2 profiles are supported
• V2 profiles are given preference over V1 profiles.
