What the Wireless Carriers are Thinking about
• Migration to IP
– WiMax & LTE are all IP
– CDMA is moving there rapidly
– UMTS “3G” is moving to IP via ATM, Ethernet Radios
this year
– Cell Site equipment & Mobile applications being
designed for IP
– Circuit Emulation to sustain TDM infrastructure
• Bandwidth Growth – Need to plan for 15 to 20 times
the growth of bandwidth and systems over the next 5
to 8 years.
• Mobile operators are looking to Lower Costs
– Broadband costs less per bit than T1
– Reduce the amount of systems -- simplify

Ethernet Options Solve Backhaul Cost Problem
Worldwide M obile 1st M ile Backhaul Service Charges per • PDH (T1/E1 etc.) costs
Connection:
PDH and ATM over PDH vs New Wireline climb directly with
bandwidth
$40,000
Stay on PDH $37,044
• Ethernet wireline costs
$30,000
grow gently with large

Mobile issues – SLAs and PM
• Service performance and SLAs
– Delay, delay variation and timing are key for Mobile backhaul
• Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)
– Recommended key parameters for SLAs – MEF 10.1
– Service availability, frames lost, frame delay, frame delay variation
– Defined the “what”, not the “how”
• RFC-2819 - RMON Etherstats
– Monitoring of local performance (eg node or LAN)
• Y.1731/802.1ag
– Focused on end to end service (WAN)
– Includes both monitoring and test
– Frame delay, frame delay variation, frame loss ratio
• Diagnostics
– Ethernet Frame loss, latency & throughput using RFC-2544 and MAC swap
loopbacks
– Circuit Emulation using ANSI T1 403 inband facility loopbacks

Synchronization Over Packet Switched Networks
20
Mobile Backhaul Synchronization over Ethernet
• Cellular base stations of any generation (2G, 2.5G and
3G) require a highly accurate frequency reference
– The possibility of deriving transmission frequencies from this reference
– Lengthy synchronization procedures between cells (for hand-off) when their
clocks are not sufficiently similar
• CDMA over Ethernet
– From a timing point of view, this is relatively straightforward since CDMA uses
GPS receivers at each cell site
– Therefore each base station is effectively self synchronizing with master
clocks in the GPS Satellite network
• GSM, W-CDMA and UMTS over Ethernet
– Base stations rely on a recovered clock from the T1/E1 leased line or
microwave link to which they are connected
– 50 parts per billion of frequency error is required to support the GSM handoff
mechanism as mobile stations wander from one cell to the other.
– With UMTS, the clock should have frequency stability of less than 16 ppb
21
Primary Synchronization Methods
• Adaptive
– Clock is distributed over the PSN as TDM stream and is adaptively
recovered solely using time-of-arrival information
– The format of the clock stream is a standard PWE3 flow, so
interoperability with 3rd party vendors is simplified
– Independent of the physical layer
• IEEE 1588v2
– Time and frequency distribution protocol based on time-stamp
information exchange (similar to NTP)
– If the PSN network elements do not support 1588, then 1588 and
adaptive deliver the same frequency recovery performance
– Note that 1588 is just the packet format; what is critical is the clock
recovery algorithm, which is not standardized
• ITU G.8261 (Synchronous Ethernet)
– Uses the physical layer of Ethernet for accurate frequency distribution
– Unaffected by network impairments (e.g., PDV, Packet-loss, etc.)

Example: WiMAX Backhaul over Ethernet with QoS
• Traffic Classification, Policing, Scheduling, Shaping
• OAM for non-intrusive monitoring of Connection (CFM) and Performance (PM)
• MAC swap loopbacks for diagnostics tests and performance monitoring
