Improved user experience Benefits new and existing devices.

Smart Networks Exploit Typically Unevenly Loaded Networks Network loading continuously changes with time and location Fully loaded sectors are usually surrounded by lightly loaded neighbors Heavy Load Medium Load Light Load 12

Smart Networks Increase Network Capacity and User Experience, Where & When Needed Improvement depends on deployment, demand distribution and implementation. Apart from the above, Adaptive Frequency Reuse (aka Demand Matched Configuration) is also another Smart Network technique. Network Load Balancing Utilizing unused capacity of lightly loaded neighbors Smart Carrier Management Assigning carriers based on accurate load and location Distributed Network Scheduler Users preferentially served by carriers that maximize capacity Single Carrier Multi-Link Leveraging multicarrier devices in single-carrier networks Can double network capacity and cell-edge data rates Carrier# 1 Carrier # 2 High Load Low Load 13

DO Advanced Performance Improvement - Example Note: The performance shown is for users in the central cells (with 2x load). The increase depends on deployment, demand distribution and implementation Relative Sector Load: Sample Cluster with Uneven Load x 2x Dist. in km Improved Performance During Loaded Conditions 14
