2003 – Introduction of Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI)

• Cheaper: avoid cost in expensive coax cables

• Smaller footprint: easier installation, lower site rentals

• Improved performance: no copper losses

• Less onerous cooling requirements

• CPRI framing protocol for transporting IQ samples between RRH and BBU with strict transport requirements

2. Conventional RAN Evolution


RAN Centralization Drivers

• Hierarchical Mobility – hidden from core network

• Security – user plane cipher terminated in a more secure location

• Advanced radio techniques – facilitating coordinated multi-point

• Advanced SON co-ordination – visibility across a cluster of cells

• Ease of upgrade – by enhancing centralized functionality

• Policy enforcement – apply admission control at an aggregate level

• Statistical multiplexing – lower peak-to-mean/improved efficiency

Distributed Antenna Systems

• Another split between RF units and baseband has been implemented by the DAS industry

• DAS solutions defined primarily to address in-building/venue infrastructure that can be shared between multiple operators

• Latest digital DAS systems use single and multi-mode optical fiber to distribute signals

• Management interface to support flexible signal routing

3. Virtualizing the Radio Access Network


RAN Virtualization (Centralization) Reasoning

1. Improved RF Resource Utilization via (centralized) co-ordinated operations

2. Statistical multiplexing for usage dimensioning as opposed to peak at edge

3. Enable accessible API exposure for automated RAN operation, optimization and orchestration

4. Enable the access network to become an aaS hosted system permitting multi-SP within the same venue infrastructure

5. Policy driven traffic management at aggregation points and not all at the last node

6. Permit use of packetized transport and standard infrastructure

7. Commoditizing the Physical Network Function

5. Industry Perspectives


IEEE 1904.3 Radio over Ethernet (RoE)

• Scope includes development of a standard for encapsulating fronthaul digitalized radio samples into Ethernet frames, as well as mapping CPRI into Ethernet frames

• Compared with existing CPRI solutions that are based on Time Division Multiplexing, P1904.3 Radio over Ethernet is aimed at bringing the cost, power efficiency and scalability of Ethernet transport to CPRI based solutions.

BRKSPM-2128 31


Next Generation Fronthaul Initiative (NGFI)

• “Due to disadvantages such as low transmission efficiency, …, and particularly due to the high cost of centralized deployment, CPRI is undesirable to meet the evolving needs for 5G-oriented fronthaul networking.”

• “MAC-level collaborative technologies can bring comparable performance gains [compared with JR/JT CoMP] with lower complexity, easier implementations, and fewer constraints.”

3GPP – Study on Scenarios and Requirements forNext Generation Access Technologies

• In 5G, different options and flexibility for splitting the RAN architecture shall be allowed.

• 3GPP will study the feasibility of different options for splitting the architecture into a “central unit” and a “distributed unit”, with potential interface in between, including transport, configuration and other required functional interactions between these nodes

• Study and identify the basic structure and operation of realization of RAN Networks functions (NFs). Study to what extent it is feasible to standardize RAN NFs, the interfaces of RAN NFs and their interdependency
