Abstract :
In cellular networks it is envisioned an explosion of diverse data applications running in smart phones, which could increase significantly not only user plane but also control plane load in the network. Smart phones and their always-on applications introduce several challenges: From the network perspective, an increased amount of UEs/applications can increase the signaling load due to frequent state transitions and handover signaling. From the UE perspective, challenges of power consumption are evident, since UE would increasingly be in connected state. In this article we study the trade-off between releasing the UE into idle state vs. keeping the UE in connected state, in a LTE system. The results indicate that optimum performance can be achieved using UE specific RRC release timer and DRX configurations by taking advantage of traffic characteristics and UE mobility.
