Emerging mobile broadband networks are being designed to support new value-added services and applications either enabled or optimized by the mobile operator. With the massive traffic growth from smartphones and other mobile devices, the multimedia packet core network has become critical to providing a superior user experience and monetizing these new services and applications.
This paper explores the following priorities for mobile operators seeking a competitive advantage:
• An open evolved packet core (EPC)
• Deployment flexibility and network optimization
• Control plane intelligence, scalability, and signaling
• Session-state and subscriber management
• Policy and charging control with integrated intelligence
• Voice-grade reliability
• Security
• Reporting, monitoring, accounting, and charging
• Roaming
• Multimedia services
