Smartphone Signaling in 3G and LTE

3G Smartphone behavior:
Differs between OS and devices
- PDP Context Activation: app triggered / on GPRS attach - PDP Context Deactivation: screen lock / power off / app triggered - PDP Context Re-activation: often immediate

Signaling Storm impact: RNC often the bottleneck (=> core network protection)

LTE:
Increase in number of sessions per device Default and Dedicated Bearers activation requests Signaling Storm impact: MME, HSS, IMS, PCC (all thereof?) Network capacity challenges and outages
