Typically in a wireless network, the load changes continuously with respect to time and location. Also, fully loaded sectors are usually surrounded by lightly loaded neighbors. DO Advanced improves network performance by adapting the network to this uneven loading—wherever and whenever needed—while utilizing existing resources.
Smart networks exploit unevenly loaded networks
DO Advanced adapts the network to the constantly changing demand on resources and enhances capacity as well as the user experience where and when needed.
DO Advanced is a cost-effective software upgrade
DO Advanced is a software upgrade, leveraging operators existing infrastructure assets. It is also fully backward and forward compatible.
Benefits existing devices; delivers better performance with new, advanced devices
DO Advanced improves the overall network performance with existing devices, which means operators can realize the improvements immediately after a network upgrade. However, new devices with advanced receivers can further increase capacity as well as cell–edge data rates.
Software released; standards completed
The DO Advanced standard was completed in early 2010, and the firmware was released to infrastructure vendors at the end of the same year, paving the way for early commercialization. The devices with advanced receivers are already commercial. The first smart networks are coming in early 2012.
