Give all users the experience they expect

Discover how Advanced Traffic Steering with new radio (NR) Multi-Layer Coordination helps communications service providers (CSPs) optimize utilization of spectrum assets while giving users the expected performance and experiences according to user equipment (UE) capabilities, location, and services used.

Report

Executive summary

5G introduces multiple frequency bands with different capacities and coverage. At the same time, the variety and capabilities of UE continue to increase. To manage the increasing complexity of steering every UE to the most adequate frequency layer, traffic steering needs to evolve. 

In this paper, you will learn why advanced traffic steering is essential in 5G networks and how CSPs can maximize their return on investments (ROI) and increase their average revenue per user (ARPU) with Ericsson’s unique approach to NR Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination.

A day in the life of Traffic Steering with Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination

Traffic Steering with advanced multi-layer coordination

With a real-life scenario, we will give you a sneak peek into how Traffic Steering with Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination works. Whether there is one person chasing after the bus in the morning or a huge crowd and many people at peak hour, it ensures all users get the performance they need according to their device, location, and services used.

In fact, NR Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination delivers the greatest gains when the network is highly loaded – the network capacity is expected to increase by 10-40%.
