4G LTE – The Highlights
All IP architecture
– Distributed intelligence and self-optmized network
– An all IP based system with IP based protocols used on all interfaces
– Etherent transport
Higher data capacity & beter spectral efciency
Very low latency
Reduced OpEx & CapEx
More small cells

4G LTE Key Networking Requirements & Challenges
High-capacity scalable transport
QoS is needed to support GBR & MBR classifcaton types
– Critcal trafc can be prioritzed for multple diferent cell sites
– Manage congeston in the last mile RAN
Fault isolaton and service resiliency
Service OAM
Timing & synchronizaton
Multcastng for sofware distributon, gaming, video etc.
IPv6 will become a major design consideraton

Bandwidth Pros Cons
ADSL / VDSL From 25M to 100Mbps Good rato for distance/ bandwidth Requires multple pairs
Shared medium
HFC DOCSIS 30Mbps; +100Mbps Large availability in America Shared medium
Microwave (60-80Ghz) 100Mbps to Gbps High capacity & coverage Requires LOS
Wi-Fi 100Mbps Rapid deployment & cost Quality & spectrum
PLC 100Mbps over ~200m Easily available Distance /Bandwidth
Fiber >>>Gbps Scalable, secure and unlimited capacity Upfront infrastructure required

Sprint (US) has reported more than 500K units
Both Sofbank and SFR have reported more than 100K units
Vodafone having reported Femtocells registered users in the “hundreds of thousands” in the UK
AT&T has not reported their numbers directly, analyst estmates also put this at over 500K units
