The Inter-site connectivity (backhaul) story:

• 1998 – 2013 Traditional backhaul in standard frequencies 6-38GHz

• 2014 – 2015 Small Cells for more capacity and better coverage

• Small Cell backhaul with new spectrum – Sub 6GHz (PtP, PtMP)

• Small Cell aggregation with E-V/Band for 500Mbps – 1Gbps per site

Capacity tsunami toward installed base backhaul assets !

• 2016 – 2020 C-RAN/COMP - Centralized processing, collaborative

radio and real-time Cloud radio access network

• Ultra-high capacity – CPRI, 2.5Gbps – 10Gbps

• Coordinated network – COMP, eICIC

Network Sharing Models and Related Costs Savings

• Operators are looking for ways to better utilize available network resources

• Network sharing solutions differ in scope and ambition

• Cost saving is strongly dependent on the depth of sharing

New Network Architectures


Stringent Performance requirements

• Ultra low Latency (< 10ms)

• Very low jitter (<50 µsec.)

• Enforce service with strict SLA

• Implement statistical multiplexing without impacting QoE

• Ensure capacity allocation & traffic management under

Synchronization in Fully Evolved LTE networks

• Multiple proven synchronization options for different

environments

• Migration to packet-based networks

• ‘Frequency’ in the transport network

• ‘Phase’ when needed (e.g. LTE TDD)

• Transparent clock and dedicated channels with low

PDV over the backhaul are essential
