Wireless Backhaul Testing
Presented by
Michael HaughSr. Product Manager, Ixia
22
Wireless Backhaul Key Challenges
• Service Provider Challenges• Support the bandwidth required for 3G services• Roll-out new 4G (LTE/WiMAX) Services• Lower the “cost per bit” on the backhaul network as speeds increase• Leverage a common infrastructure (IP/Ethernet)• Migrate away from legacy Infrastructure (SONET/SDH/TDM)
• Next Generation Metro/Aggregation Network for Backhaul• IP/Ethernet (Carrier Ethernet) based and/or IP/MPLS/MPLS-TP• Requires:
• Quality of Service• High Reliability• Highly Scalable• Timing Synchronization• Service Management
23
Backhaul Migration from TDM to IP/Ethernet
• 100% of global Service Providers claim to be deploying IP/Ethernet backhaul in 2010• Most current deployments are
‘hybrid’ using retaining TDM for voice due to clock synchronization requirements
• Unlike SONET/SDH, Ethernet has no native clock transfer mechanism
• 65% of service providers plan to move to a single Ethernet mobile backhaul for carrying all traffic • First require assurance that
timing over packet (ToP) technologiesmeet clock accuracy and network synchronization requirements
24
Technologies enabling IP/Ethernet for Mobile Backhaul
• Quality of Service• IP ToS/DiffServ• Ethernet 802.1p• MPLS (EXP bits defined as Traffic Class)
• High Reliability• PBB-TE• MPLS Fast Re-Route• MPLS-TP APS
• Highly Scalable• Ethernet using PB, PBB• IPv4 migrating to IPv6• MPLS, MPLS-TP
• Timing Synchronization• 1588-2008 (Precision Timing Protocol)• SyncE (ESMC)
• Service Management• Service OAM, Link OAM, ELMI
25
Timing Protocols are critical to move to IP/Ethernet
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)
• Physical Layer• Synchronizes only frequency• Not impacted by network load• Every switch/router path must support
SyncE• Synchronization Status Message (SSM)
carries clock quality level (1pps)• Network devices must be able to
recognize, select, and propagate highest quality clock
IEEE 1588v2 Precision TimeProtocol (PTPv2)
• Protocol Layer• Synchronizes frequency and time-of-day• Subject to network load• ‘Version 2” introduces Transparent Clocks
and Boundary Clocks
26
Industry Example: 1588v2 Performance Test
Boundary Clock Implementation Synchronization to Grandmaster Clock Synchronization with 100 Slave Clocks Traffic forwarding requirements met Robust under negative conditions
Transparent Clock Implementation Correction Field modified for 150 slave clocks
Synchronization operation verified www.ixiacom.com/1588test
27
Key Take-Aways
• Service providers are moving to an IP/Ethernet Backhaul• Many technologies are available including new options like
MPLS-TP• Testing covers many protocols for scale, reliability, QoS,
synchronization and management• One of the most significant current challenges is addressing
synchronization when moving from TDM to IP/Ethernet• Significant progress has been made over the last few years
28
Conclusion
• Industry’s move to LTE brings a number of challenges
• Rapid move to IP/Ethernet Backhaul is inevitable
• Testing of mobile devices, components, networks and infrastructure becomes absolutely critical
