Nokia Siemens Networks launch self adapting broadband technology

I dont understand. One of the big problems is spectrum. A base station can only handle so many users at a time. Surely this is where the big problem lies? So, if 1 BTS in one area is being under utilized...and another in another area is over utilized...how do you get the capacity from the one BTS to the other?
 
Im assuming they referring to the actual core network rings and what amount of it each tower is allowed to use.....so this would be more about efficient back-haul capacity more than anything else.

Cant see the last mile being affected by this directly if the back haul already has enough capacity to run them all at full throttle...

Jannie (or anyone else with tower technical prowess) care to elaborate if this is true?

From the article:

“Where Liquid Radio was about supporting capacity growth and flexibility in the Radio Access Network (RAN), Liquid Net smartly carries the theme forward to transport and core networks promising an optimization of not only user traffic but CAPEX investments”, said Peter Jarich, Current Analysis, service director for Service Provider Infrastructure. “Perhaps most importantly, Liquid Net speaks to a need for solutions rather than point products; while components can be deployed as part of a multi-vendor solution, the combination of Liquid Radio, Liquid Core and Liquid Transport into Liquid Net speaks to holistic thinking around operator concerns and demands.”

The technology covers everything from radio network, core and transport side. Basically all components allow for dynamically changing to suite traffic demand. Obviously there will still be saturation points on every level too, from Radio to transport, but this will allow what is there to be used more effectively.

As your query relates more to the radio side (I guess) go have a look at the details of the Liquid Radio component here

Thanks ill check it out......

Flexi Multiradio Antenna System

We can help you direct coverage exactly where users need it with beamforming. This is a new way of increasing coverage and capacity by up to 65%. It works together with other layers of coverage from macro, pico and micro site configurations. It can also be combined with Baseband Pooling.

Baseband Pooling

With us, you can centralize the digital signal processing typically done at base stations and share it with several sites. This can release up to 80% of unused baseband capacity by ensuring capacity is dynamically matched with the needs of end users as they change over time. One baseband pool has the capacity to manage up to 100 cells.

Unified Heterogeneous Networks

We’ll enable you to integrate all your radio network elements, no matter what their cell size, technology or frequency, with automated management and seamless interworking. We can help you manage a complex set of networks as one single network, with an emphasis on superior customer experience.
 
And so we take one step closer to cognitive radios and cognitive networks...
