LTE not getting a chance to strut its stuff, report says
Mobile video may be the king of data hogs, but Signals Research Group contends that other types of data traffic are actually consuming a disproportionate amount of network resources.
Not only that, these types of data traffic do not take advantage of LTE features such as MIMO, meaning operators and vendors need to look elsewhere to enable more efficiencies, the firm said.
"It's very inefficient for LTE to deliver that data because all the bells and whistles of LTE, MIMO, using higher modulation--sending more bits in a limited amount of time--all of those things only work well when you have a lot of data to send. When you have less data to send, you can't use those capabilities. It's overkill," Michael Thelander, Signals Research's founder and CEO, told FierceWirelessTech.
