5G network as envisioned by KT - Analysis of KT's 5G network architecture

I recently heard someone in the industry saying "While LG U+'s Vice President Sang-chul Lee is into IoT, KT's Chairman Chang-kyu Hwang is so into 5G. Whatever solution you propose, if it is for KT, it has to have "5G" in its title to, at least, get attention." Of the Korea's big 3 operators, KT has been most aggressive in sharing its strategies, network architecture, core technologi...

Mobile Network Architecture for 5G Era - New C-RAN Architecture and Distributed 5G Core

It's been only a year and a half since we excitedly introduced the Evolution of Mobile RAN Architecture in LTE/LTE-A Era (C-RAN) last April. And today we are discussing the same for 5G era already. Key transitions from 3G to 4G included i) network architecture change from coverage-based to capacity-based, and ii) introduction of new 4G element, X2 interface. Specifically, cells became s...

SK Telecom's Network Evolution Strategies (3) - RAN Architecture Evolution Strategy

3. RAN Architecture Evolution Strategies SK Telecom introduced C-RAN right from the very early stages of the LTE service commercialization (January 2012) as an effort to achieve higher mobile network operation efficiency and more cost savings. As a result, most of the company's RAN is now in C-RAN architecture, where macro BBUs are separated from RRHs, and moved to centralized locations...

SK Telecom's Network Evolution Strategies (2) - Inter-cell Coordination Evolution Strategy

2. Inter-cell Coordination Evolution Strategies CA improves network capacity by broadening frequency bandwidth, whereas inter-cell coordination technologies do the same task by enhancing frequency efficiency. Inter-cell coordination is designed to manage radio resources more efficiently by having cells in different sites share user and/or cell information with each other. Inter-cell coo...

Why should jitter be minimized in CPRI fronthaul? - frequency accuracy

In this post, we will talk about “jitter” introduced in the fronthaul network of LTE C-RAN. As shown in the figure on the right, jitter refers to the skew or variation in time or phase of a digital signal exchanged between communication systems. This jitter can eventually cause errors during the data and clock recovery process at RRH. Then, why should we be worried about jitter...

Fronthaul Size: Calculation of maximum distance between RRH and BBU

In C-RAN (Centralized/Cloud RAN), the more RRHs are covered by one CO (BBU hostelling site), i) the fewer COs are required, and ii) the more BBUs can be centralized at one CO. This allows for the most efficient utilization of BBU resources, thereby significantly reducing CAPEX/OPEX. For this reason, the maximum separation distance between RRH and BBU should be secured. This distance is cons...

Why WDM is essential in C-RAN fronthaul networks? - Ultra high CPRI link capacity

Our question in this post is: Why does the CPRI link between BBU (at CO) and RRH (at Cell Site) in C-RAN require a ultra high Gbps bandwidth? Before you read this post, we advise you to read our previous post, "CPRI (1): Emergence of C-RAN and CPRI overview". The CPRI link capacities required between BBU and RRH in the C-RAN architecture are as follows: Table 1. CPRI data rates...
