Initial Acceleration Rollout Report

4G Features: Initial Acceleration Rollout
Fact Finding:
The TCP download rate is determined by a combination of the transmission bandwidth
and the round trip time (RTT). For any given amount of bandwidth, when the RTT for
downlink TCP packets decreases, the server sends packets at a higher rate, allowing UEs The newly introduced WTCP proxy function reduces the RTT, especially for the
to download videos more quickly
Action:
Activate initial acceleration feature on 2093 sites on 26 April 2017 around 11 PM
KPI Results (Date Before: 21-23 April 2017, After: 28-30 April 2017):
 Average transmission rate in the TCP process initial phase increased 3.19%
 Downlink traffic increased 7.73%, uplink traffic decreased 0.93% while Total traffic
increased 7.00%
 Cell downlink average throughput improved 0.76% while uplink throughput degraded
3.05%.
 Average user throughput downlink & uplink degraded 1.53% & 0.92% suspect due to
user increment
 User number increased 6.53%, other KPI keep maintain
+ 3.19 % + 7.00 % + 0.76 %
Analysis:
 Initial acceleration feature is implemented using the Wireless Transmission
Control Protocol (WTCP) proxy function
first 200 packets.
 The WTCP proxy function also expedites the transmission of packets in the initial
phase of TCP streaming
 The eNodeB serves as a WTCP proxy for the first 200 packets of each TCP stream,
reducing the initial video buffering delay
 The data size of most web pages does not exceed 200 packets (about 300 KB).
Therefore, WTCP proxy can increase the loading speed and reduce the display
speed of most web pages
 Initial video buffering delay & page display delay should be verified using such
tools as KQI meter, MBB explorer or pilot pioneer
