More downlink from the spectrum you already own

Carrier-aggregation parameters chosen across a cluster of cells on a live mobile network: average downlink throughput about 10% higher with no radio hardware added, in a limited trial area. Delivered through our platform network with a quantum-inspired optimiser.

01 · The decision

The decision on the table

An operator wanted more capacity from the spectrum it already holds. Carrier-aggregation settings are tuned cell by cell with vendor features and by hand, and the interactions between cells are where throughput is lost.

02 · What we did

What we did, with proprietary methods

The parameter choice across the cluster was written as one optimisation problem and solved with a quantum-inspired optimiser in our platform network; the settings were applied on the live network in a limited trial area and the throughput measured against the previous configuration.

Key result · Telecom
More throughput, no new radio hardware
Baseline
the network operator’s previous carrier-aggregation settings
Condition
average downlink throughput about +10% on the live network, limited trial area
Secondary cells carry more
Baseline
the previous settings
Condition
secondary-cell data volume up to +50%; an upper bound from the trial
Outcome

What happened next

For a client, the next step is the first engagement on this page’s industry: you send one cluster of cells with its current parameters. You get back the settings and the downlink comparison. Two weeks.
