CISCO Solutions: 5G Mobile Backhaul /Carrier Ethernet Network

Regarding platforms specifically for the next-generation IP network infrastructure, we suggest Cisco new next generation platform-NCS (Network Convergence system) be used for mobile and fixed-line telecoms. The carrier grade Metro Ethernet (ME) network could serve as the mobile backhaul network for the base station of mobile and fixed-line telecoms. In addition, it offers FTTB(Fiber to the building) solution with Internet access services. In addition to the MPLS technology, this network is equipped with flexibly-adjustable broadband transmission capability. The open service interface creates diverse services of fast integration, and the end-to-end H-QoS control services are made possible. Through Ethernet OAM, operators can easily maintain end-to-end node status to achieve real-time operation monitoring purposes. Moreover, any failure happening at network nodes the network can be converted to normal operation within hundreds of milliseconds, and voice services would not be interrupted. Another crucial technology of the Metro Ethernet is the support of Ethernet clocking. The platform distributed by IDT not only complies with the IEEE 1588v2 standard but also provides various clocking interfaces, including SyncE for use of different telecoms or equipment.

CISCO Solutions: MPLS with SR Core Switching Network

Segment Routing (SR) is the next-generation MPLS high-speed backbone standard, which operates according to the principle that every IP packet is added with a label to determine the route and priority of packets. The router only examines the label upon receiving the packet but does not check the whole IP address and header of the packet. This simplifies the checking procedures of the router, thereby increasing the transmission speed and effectively reducing latency. To roll out next-generation broadband services, telecom operators integrate with existing IP/MPLS backbone infrastructure with Segment Routing technology.

In the field of IP core networks, Segment Routing is beneficial to the low cost, high scalability, and high flexibility required by mobile operators. Moreover, existing investments could be thoroughly utilized, and capacity can be enlarged specifically for emerging data flows. The traditional MPLS backbone network cannot satisfy all the demands of the current mobile network, such as expandability and continuous decrease in costs. These restrictions, however, can be solved by the Segment Routing technology, which is flexible in construction and allows telecoms to rapidly evolve existing 4G/LTE networks to 5G. This protects mobile operators’ investments in 4G/LTE networks by guaranteeing the conversion to 5G networks. Also, the expansion space needed for surging data transmission in the future can be preserved.
