The Rapid Bandwidth Increase
No. of E1 Links per Cell-site
• Worldwide mobile subscriber base keeps increasing
• According to Infonetics’ October 2006 report, Mobile Backhaul Equipment,
Installed Base, & Services Market Outlook, there were more than 2 billion
mobile subscribers worldwide in 2005, and that number will jump to over 3 billion
by 2009
• Enhanced user-experience demands higher-speed data rates
• Video streaming, MP3/MP4 downloads, MMS, peer-to-peer applications, Mobile TV
• NG mobile standards and services are within reach
• LTE – 100Mbps

• New services = more transport bandwidth right out of the cell-site
• Access becomes the BW bottleneck
• PDH/TDM is not a scalable solution
• HSDPA – the “killer application” for mobile backhaul

HSDPA
The backhaul “killer application”
Source: Unstrung Insider
• Mobile data traffic to double within the next 12-18 months*
• Data volumes in backhaul to surge to 3-4 times current levels within 2 years
• Mobile data ARPU will not keep the pace
* According to Strategic Analysis, Nov. 2006
All-IP Backhauling CE 2007 Slide 7
The Challenge
Optimizing the Cellular Backhaul
• Challenge - Handling capacity growth
• Backhaul represents 70% of the transport costs
•
About 30% of the OPEX (incl. site rental, maintenance, technical
sup., etc)
• Evolution to future ready transmission – All-IP and FMC
• Solution – Cost reductions thru
• Abis/Ater BW optimization and data compression
• Sharing a single transport network by 2G/2.5G and 3G traffic
• Statistical Multiplexing with traffic prioritization
•
Iub optimization adapted to HSDPA sales growth/strategy
• Backhauling over alternative technologies and media
•
Packet-based transport
•
Using low cost xDSL access

• Reducing backhaul expenses by more than 50%
• Reduce no. of E1 trunks for BTS-BSC connectivity with no voice quality degradation
• Smallest footprint device in the market – save on co-location costs
• A-bis/A-ter traffic optimization for efficient use of backhaul links – leased
lines, satellite links and microwave
• Data Compression

• Substantial cost savings by
• Aggregation, Grooming, Overbooking/Oversubscription
• Aggregation/grooming of GSM and UMTS traffic onto a unified transport
• Statistical multiplexing of UMTS/HSDPA traffic based on ATM capabilities
• Dynamic bandwidth allocation based on operator’s predefined priorities
• Flexible port configuration to support GSM and UMTS

What else can be improved?
• There are two main alternatives being considered for
additional backhaul cost reduction
• Using packet-switched transport
• Complement by using DSL access
All-IP Backhauling CE 2007 Slide 12
Why Packet-based Transport?
• Ethernet presents the most scalable and flexible transport solution to
meet the BW challenge right off the cell site
• The cost for leased lines is about 2.5 times
that of new wireline connections
(Ethernet, DSL, cable, PON)
• Ethernet is a future proof RAN
transport technology
• 3G/3.5G/4G, WiMAX and FMC backhaul
• Ethernet can be extended to the cell
site over various low-cost technologies
• Different types of DSL
• p2p and p2mp (PON) fiber connections
• WiMAX and Ethernet-based radios

Lesson in History
What are Pseudowires?
• Pseudowire is a mechanism that emulates the essential
attributes of a telecommunications service over a packet-
switched network
• TDM leased line, ATM or Frame Relay
• It defines a way to packetize and encapsulate data and create a
logical link between two network entities
• Pseudowire technology is an enabler for circuit emulation and
service emulation of legacy services over packet networks

•
•
Similar to residential DSL services
Two options to be considered
•
