- Low-latency, low-loss, scalable throughput (L4S) capabilities can improve performance for demanding customer solutions that require improved quality of service.
Santa Clara, California – Verizon and Ericsson recently completed trials of advanced low-latency, low-loss, scalable throughput (L4S) capabilities. This will optimize Verizon’s 5G network for more robust solutions such as interactive video, remote control of industrial processes, and augmented reality. (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
“While the first wave of 5G saw the deployment of large-scale network infrastructure, increased 5G adoption, and rapid ecosystem construction, the second wave of the 5G era saw the deployment of large-scale network infrastructure, increased 5G adoption, and rapid ecosystem construction. It will be characterized by extensive innovation based on security and reliability,” said Adam Koeppe, Verizon’s senior vice president of network and technology planning. “Just as we worked to evolve 4G into a high-performance network after our initial launch, we are now working to evolve 4G by introducing advanced technology features that push the boundaries of what this service can offer our customers. , evolving radio access networks to deliver 5G technology.”
L4S was designed to enable content providers to use the specific and robust network resources needed for a variety of time-critical applications, including entertainment, gaming, AR/VR, real-time video conferencing, and Vehicle to Everything (V2X). This is a cutting edge feature. ) communications, remote control driving, and drone operations. All of these have in common the need for fast, consistent throughput and the ability to meet desired delay targets in real time.
“5G’s potential will enable a wide variety of breakthrough services, especially for time-critical communications for both consumers and businesses,” said Graham Osborn, Verizon vice president and head of customers at Ericsson North America. It lies in the ability to promote it.” “This recent accomplishment with Verizon confirms the significant performance improvements for time-critical high-speed applications enabled by L4S capabilities.”
The L4S trial will be conducted at Ericsson’s D-15 5G Innovation and Co-Creation Lab in Santa Clara, California, using the XR virtual reality headset on Ericsson’s 5G standalone core connecting to Verizon’s C-band spectrum. I tested the application. The trial will enable content providers to adjust the transmission rate of data packets by enabling L4S signaling on the radio access network, thereby enabling emergency high-bandwidth applications on Verizon’s 5G network. A significant performance improvement was demonstrated. The results showed up to 50% reduction in latency, demonstrating the potential of his L4S as a rate adaptation framework for 5G time-critical high data rate applications.
Build on a strong foundation
The introduction of L4S capabilities to Verizon’s 5G network joins a series of efforts the carrier has made over the past few months to advance and mature 5G technology to realize the full benefits of this new service. This is the next step in technological advancement.
“Our goal from the beginning has been to build a revolutionary 5G network, which requires a redesigned and newly designed network that can manage mobile data in a fundamentally different way. “We need a fully virtualized network,” said Koeppe. “Our virtualized Verizon Cloud Platform (VCP) core architecture, spectrum choices, virtualized RAN, owned and upgraded fiber footprint, edge platform capabilities, and injected intelligence enable us to move into 5G networks. We are leading the industry in implementing advanced technology and capabilities.”
When you introduce L4S into your network, it works with other advanced technologies in your network to provide the speed, latency, and performance you need for a more robust solution. Active queue management, caching, mobile edge computing (MEC) capabilities, Verizon Cloud Platform (VCP), fully virtualized 5G standalone core, virtualized RAN, artificial intelligence, network slicing, and extensive orchestration all included. It works harmoniously with Verizon’s 5G network. The sophistication required for robust solutions such as XR applications, vehicle-to-vehicle communication while driving, robots interacting on factory floors, thousands of sensors in warehouses transmitting real-time information, and drones transmitting near-real-time video while in flight. provides functions.
