Will devices maintain the same IP address handing off from 3g to LTE and vice versa? One of the problems with the WiMAX implementation is different networks / different IP addresses creates a not-so-seamless experience. The goofs up streaming music/video applications for example.

because ip6 is faster than ip4???....missing the point of caring much right now about ip6.....though the EVOLTE shows support for it in the build prop at least...

I am going to go out on a limb and assume they would be much much more seamless than the handoff b/w wimax and 3G. The WiMax handoff causes problems b/c its a different company your getting data from there so hence a different IP subnet and such...Since this is Sprints LTE I would assume the handoff b/w the 2 should be much more fluid than with WiMax...

 

someone will see this and correct me to the fullest though in a little while as im sure im not completely accurate there... :)

Theoretically, there shouldn't need to be a handoff. With LTE being laid out over the entire footprint of 3G and using 800 mhz to increase the range even further.

 

If one was to be handed off from LTE to eHRPD, you are correct Sgt, it would definitely be a smooth transition compared to that of WiMax to EVDO.

To my understanding there is no hand off between WiMax and 3G connections just drop.

 

Seems that way to me. It is the reason I never turn wimax on during my train ride to work. One single tunnel causes so much frustration as it goes from 4G>no signal>3G>finally back to 4G. As I try to load webpages at various times during that period.. If I leave it on 3G only it may bounce between 3G and 1x but I never really stop transmitting.

Websites for me are worthless when I lose 3G and go to 1x. I just give up and wait for 3G to come back.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
