LTE Evolution Timeline

• Rel-8 standard was frozen in March 2009.


• Goal to prepare the mobile system to allow evolutionary change
LTE towards 4G as imposed by IMT-Advanced.
• Pushed to market to counter WiMAX

• This was specified within 3GPP Rel-10.


• The corresponding standard was frozen in June 2011.
LTE-Advanced • LTE-Advanced was defined to fulfill IMT-Advanced requirements,
thus is seen as a 4G technology.

• This was agreed by 3GPP in October 2015 as a marker for LTE for Rel-
13 onwards.
LTE-Advanced Pro • The new name is used to mark a point where significant
improvements with regards to LTE-Advanced are made.

LTE / LTE-A Summary

LTE-A Pro V1 – R13

• Uses carrier WiFi to improve capacity, whilst anchored in


LTE-WiFi Combo LWA/LWIP LTE spectrum

• Aggregates the licensed LTE signal with spectrum in the


Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) unlicensed 5GHz band

• Direct communication between devices, for public safety


Device-to-device (D2D) use cases

• Enables up to 32 carrier signals and so provide a theoretical


Massive CA 640MHz of aggregated bandwidth for a single device

• Spectrum aggregation where small cells act as local capacity


Dual Connectivity (DC) boosters for an anchor macro-cell

LTE-A Pro V1(Contd.)

• Supports reduced bandwidth operation (1.4MHz),


MTC enhancements (eMTC)
lower power and longer device battery life

• Adds the vertical plane to horizontal beam steering,


3D-MIMO
using up to 64 antenna ports

• Coordinates radio resources between various access


Multi-RAT Joint Coordination
technologies, including dynamic spectrum access.

• Optimised support for IoT services using GSM and

• Clear separation of UP and CP


• Make the functions granular
• Virtualize functions
• Flexible placement of functions
• Elasticity: Scalable to meet SLAs. Movable to other servers.
• Resiliency: Be able to recreate after failure
• Service Continuity: Seamless or non-seamless continuity after failures or migration
• Service Assurance: Time stamp and forward copies of packets for Fault detection
• Energy Efficiency Requirements: Should be possible to put a subset of VNF in a power
conserving sleep state
• Access agnostic

HTTP/2

• HTTP/2 (originally named HTTP/2.0) is major revision of the HTTP network protocol
used by the World Wide Web. It was derived from the earlier experimental SDPY
protocol, originally developed by Google
• HTTP/2 is binary, instead of textual.
• HTTP/2 is fully multiplexed
• It’s not very fast and not super modern

Need For Network Slicing

How to meet varied needs & KPIs of each service category over a common infrastructure?

Option-1: Building dedicated infrastructure for each of these to meet their service requirements
- not a cost-effective solution

Option-2: Using some of latest technologies like SDN and VNFs these requirements could all be
met on same physical infrastructure

By forming “Virtual layers” for each service over the actual


physical resource running end-to end to meet the performance
requirements for each service

What is network Slicing

Network Slicing – Continued

• It is a form of virtual network architecture that allows multiple virtual networks to be created
on top of a common shared physical infrastructure.
• Slicing provides end-to-end (E2E) flexible, scalable and demand-oriented system to meet the
various requirements
• A network slice is self-contained in terms of operation and traffic flow and can have its own
network architecture, engineering mechanisms and network provision.
• It is to architect, partition and organize virtualized network resource to enable flexible support
of diverse use case realizations
• Cloud computing, software defined network (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV)
are key technology enablers for network slicing
