description

Operators are moving towards hyper-dense networks made up of far smaller cells of coverage. However, many technologies will be used to fill those cells – self-contained mini-base stations, enhanced WiFi hotspots, DAS and distributed radio systems. Even Cloud-RAN will start to make an appearance, with operators often more willing to experiment with new virtualized architectures in their small cell layers. This webinar will examine the mixture of technologies which will go into the dense small cell network of 2015-2019, and the future impact of virtualization, based on Maravedis-Rethink’s most recent surveys of over 100 mobile and converged operators worldwide. Some key trends which explored: The need for hyper-dense networks in certain scenarios and the progress towards achieving them Other areas of small cell growth such as verticals The impact of virtualization on the small cell proposition An overview of trends in the Americas

•Spectral efficiency•Higher bandwidth

•Combined with cost pressures•Critical to reduce radiated power –battery life, not coverage, limits usage

VIDEO BECOMES SOCIAL DATA BECOMES VIDEO MOBILE BECOMES DATA TELECOM BECOMES MOBILE

The Convention Industry Council Manual guidelines recommend 10 square feet per person. It represents 1 Million persons per km2. If all persons upload video with 64 kbps, it represents 64 Gbps/km2!

On the market demand in dense urban areas during business hours, it has been calculated that 800 Mbps/km2 are required (BuNGee and Artists4G Projects).

This is an order of magnitude higher than the forward looking current state of the art, such as LTE.

and mobile, data, video, social, cloud & games become crowd density traffic …

Whatsapp: Over 50bn messages every day.

Facebook: 1 billion of active users and a half of them use mobile access (488 million users) regularly.

Twitter: 50% users are using the social network via mobile.

YouTube: more than ¼ of users use in Mobile Device

Instagram: The average Instagram mobile user spent two times comparing tp Twitter.

Bands below 1 GHz, such as 700 MHz is applicable for low density traffic, like: product in initial lifecycle; suburban and rural areas;

When traffic is becoming more density, there is no difference between high and low spectrum band

For crowd density traffic, SmallCells has higher capacity than macro cells with very cost effective

Qualcomm estimates the gain for 32 SmallCells increase the network capacity in 37 x macro cells.

The capacity associated to coverage grid can capture the demand from 2013 till 2014 – Point A;

However, for 2015 it is needed to increase 63% the number of sites, changing the exiting grid – Point B;

In 2016 and 2017, they require more 61% and 54% more sites respectivelly;

In that time, SmallCells are more appropriated infrastructure to save CapEx and OpEx;

Concerns

Page 26: HETNET Strategies with Oi Brazil and Maravedis-Rethink Sept 2014

Site aquisition: Given the limitation on the scope of the small cell, you have to know exactly where the traffic is generated and get the rights to install that exact spot.

New types of leases should be developed. The expectation for the installation of Small

scale is Cells that are an order of magnitude greater than the macro cells .

Visual Polution: Due a number of SmallCells, the shape and format may impact in acceptance to install in building and public facilities.

Small cell radius of coverage is reduced compared to macro, it is necessary to locate accurately the traffic sources;

The installation of small cell (site acquisition) occurs with small error regarding the location planned.

Heterogeneous RF planning requires how traffic will be handled by each layer.

For maximum result from the limited range making the reuse of the spectrum.

Reuse requires a plan of distribution of the cells very well done.

IP Access (MPLS-TP, Metro Eth, MDU) , Giga-Ether over 150 Mbps per BTS

Required necessarily optical fiber, but Radio NLOS can be alternative for higher capillarity

New synchronism support (IEEE 1588, SyncE) e-ICIC requires synchronism deviation around

1.5 s. For CoMP, Latency must be below 1 ms New interface other than IP: CPRI

Backhaul & Fronthaul

Pain Points

Downlink: Terminal camped on in macro is interfered by a small cell. And terminal served by a small cell to connect the edge of cell will be interfered by the macro cell.

Uplink : one terminal connected in macro and close to the cell border creates strong interference in a small cell next. And large number of connected terminals in small cells generate uplink interference in the macro cell.

They both are addressed with sofisticated mechanisms like ICIC, e-ICIC, Fe-ICIC, and CoMP

Interference Mitigation

Mobility device in idle state impacts the relative load between layers and battery consumption and frequency of handovers.

Increase in handovers due to the small size of the cells increases the risk of dropped calls (Dropped Call Rate),

Devices in connected state may need to HO to a small cell and, if they are on different frequencies, will need efficient scheme discovery of small cell that minimizes the impact on battery consumption.

Traffic/Capacity balancing with several resources and frequencies

Mobility Management

Planning Deployment and Rollout

The range in the number of radio stations in the layer of Small Cells should be an order of magnitude larger than the current one.

The way to optimize and operate should fit depending less manual intervention. Resources SON (Self Organizing Networks) will be important to maintain a good performance.

Service Availability: Internal battery must be required for accomplishing service SLA requirements.

The licensing cost (TFI/TFF) was a recent issue but still exist for SmallCells with higher power
