Nokia and Vodafone trial cloud-based RAN architecture
Press Release
•Trial architecture to evaluate how cloud-optimized radio access macro network architectures will enable smooth operator transition from 4G to
5G services and IoT
•Results show macro Nokia AirScale Cloud RAN running on AirFrame NFV infrastructure meets all key performance criteria to deliver same
performance level of today's RAN architecture with added efficiciency and scalability of cloud technology
12 December, 2016

Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Vodafone have trialled the use of cloud-based radio access technology for macro networks to evaluate
how it will enable a smooth transition from 4G to 5G and meet the connectivity demands expected from the next-generation
wireless platform together with the Internet of Things.
Nokia Cloud RAN architecture enables operators to use their radio assets more efficiently to meet future connectivity needs, with the Nokia
AirScale Cloud RAN platform running on the AirFrame NFV infrastructure and splitting baseband processing functionality between real-time and
non real-time functions. As a result, time-critical functions can be performed closer to end users at the edge of the network, while serving a
wider area with Ethernet-based fronthaul providing connectivity to the virtualized functions. Non-time-critical functions are centralized and
virtualized in an NFV infrastructure platform located at the edge of the radio access network, offering a view across the network and allowing
radio capacity to be scaled when and where it is required.
The trial, which took place at Vodafone's testing facility in Italy, used the Nokia Cloud RAN platform to evaluate the performance of centralized
5G-ready architecture, measuring peak data rates as well as download and upload speeds in a range of scenarios on the macro network,
containing high power macro cellular base stations. As a result, the trial found that the Nokia Cloud RAN achieved all of Vodafone's key
performance criteria for throughput, capacity and resiliency, demonstrating that a cloud-based RAN architecture can provide the same level of
high-quality service provided by a conventional LTE network, but with the added scalability, flexibility and efficiency delivered by cloud
technology. Nokia and Vodafone will continue to collaborate on this project with the aim of deploying the technology commercially.

About the trial


•Nokia AirScale Cloud Base Station Server, a virtual base station running LTE technology.
•Nokia AirFrame Data Center platform designed to meet stringent radio access capacity, performance and latency requirements powered by
Nokia real-time cloud infrastructure software.
•Nokia Global Services' engineers worked closely with Vodafone's radio experts to prepare, execute and validate results from the different test
cases

Network Slicing
Support of Network Slicing relies on the principle that traffic for different slices is handled by different PDU
sessions. Network can realise the different network slices by scheduling and also by providing different L1/L2
configurations. UE should be able to provide assistance information for network slice selection in RRC message, if it
has been provided by NAS.

NSSAI (Network Slice Selection Assistance Information) includes one or more S-NSSAIs (Single NSSAI). Each network
slice is uniquely identified by a S-NSSAI, as defined in TS 23.501.

The following key principles apply for support of Network Slicing in NG-RAN:
• RAN awareness of slices
• Selection of RAN part of the network slice
• Resource management between slices
• Support of QoS

Deutsche Telekom and Huawei demonstrate world’s first 5G E2E autonomous network slicing
2016-12-01

[Bonn, Germany, Dec.1, 2016] Deutsche Telekom and Huawei demonstrate yet another world first 5G technology with the addition of end-to-end autonomous
behavior for 5G network slicing.The partners previously demonstrated the world’s first end-to-end 5G system to validate network slicing technology for diverse 5G
use case demands. Building on that software defined foundation, this autonomous end-to-end network slicing implementation adds dynamic and real-time slicing of
the 5G Radio Access network (RAN) and Data Center (DC), as well the interconnecting transmission network. The demo, conducted in Deutsche Telekom’s 5G:haus
lab based in Bonn, Germany, shows how different network slices can be created automatically in an optimized way on a shared RAN, Core and transport network.
This allows slices creation in sub-minutes time while ensuring an efficient and intelligent allocation and re-allocation of resources as required for each individual
slice.
“Network Slicing is envisaged for 5G to provide differentiated connectivity quickly and efficiently for the diverse future applications that our customers will demand.
With automated network slicing, the development of highly flexible end-to-end network slicing becomes more complete,” said Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, Chief
Technology Officer, Deutsche Telekom.
“Huawei has made significant key 5G technologies. This additional breakthrough on E2E network slicing automation is a great contribution to the 5G industry of the
future and helps to bring the vision of 5G slicing closer to reality for our customers,” said Dr. Wen Tong, Huawei Fellow, CTO, Huawei Wireless

How it is implemented
E2E network slicing is a foundational technology which is required to support diversified 5G services and is a key to the 5G network architecture evolution. In that
context, Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC) are envisaged
network classes that could be built as slices. Each network slice is derived from a unified physical network infrastructure, which greatly reduces the operators'
network construction costs. Network slices feature a logical arrangement of resources which operate as individual networks, which allows for heavily customizable
service requirements.
E2E network slicing not only includes the core network and RAN, but also interconnecting transport networks. The demo conducted in DT’s 5G:haus innovation lab
in Bonn, Germany implements bandwidth based transport network slicing. The transport network consists of TSDN controllers and underlying Dense Wave Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) nodes. The controllers generate a series of specific data forwarding paths based on slice topology and service requirements.
In this demo, real-time dynamic adjustments of network slices on very fine spectral granularity, signal process and protocol stack were validated.
F-OFDM air interface technology is the key to the spectral granularity and also permits efficient co-existence and isolation of all 5G New Radio (5G NR) slices.
The demo implements E2E network slicing automation based on Service Oriented Network Auto Creation (SONAC). It uses software-defined topology (SDT),
software defined protocol (SDP) and software-defined resource allocation (SDRA) to ensure the automatic implementation of slice management, service
deployment, resource scheduling, and fault recovery based strictly on a detailed and thorough network data analysis.

With Intel’s Help, 5G Pushes Toward 2020 Deployment
To Help Meet Ambitious Targets, Intel Announces Its Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform as First to Meet Upcoming NR Standard
By Asha Keddy
In the late 1990s when I joined Intel, I was amazed that my cell phone allowed me to make a call from almost anywhere. It freed me from my landline and changed how and when I
communicated with friends and family, some of them around the world.
It’s hard not to look back on those days with a sense of naïve innocence. Things were much simpler. Less than 20 years later, we’re walking around with cloud-connected smartphones in
our pockets that can tap into the equivalent performance of a supercomputer. And the pace of innovation is only accelerating with the advent of 5G – the next generation of wireless
technology. We’re only now beginning to imagine a world of new uses that will further transform our lives for the better.
Press Kit: 5G
It’s astounding to see how fast the industry is moving forward today on 5G. As you read this, we are quickly approaching the initial milestone for the 5G new radio (NR), the wireless radio
standard that will be the foundation of 5G, just like LTE was for 4G. In December, the 5G non-standalone new radio (NR) standard will be finalized with a goal to accelerate commercial 5G
trials and deployments while the final standalone 5G NR standard is being developed. This is a major step forward for 5G, and the energizing and catalytic effect it will have on an array of
technology and services.

To help the communications industry meet ambitious targets, Intel in September 2017 announces its Intel® 5G Mobile Trial Platform as the first to meet upcoming new radio standards.
(Credit: Intel Corporation)
The days of waiting 12 to 18 months for a silicon chip to test the latest set of specifications are long gone. Today’s talented researchers and engineers are in fast prototype mode. The
foundation for much of their trials and development is the Intel® 5G Mobile Trial Platform (MTP). I’m pleased to announce today that our Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform will begin to
support the new non-standalone NR standard when available in the fourth quarter of this year for live tests and trials. It’s an industry first.
When the non-standalone NR specification is finalized, Intel will be ready to quickly begin work with the leading telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) to make sure the
radio access network and the device side successfully operate within the initial NR standard. We’ll also join with operators to take non-standalone NR out of the lab and begin testing it in
real-world situations. This heightened pace of development means we’ll be able to help the industry meet ambitious targets to deploy commercial 5G services before 2020.
To accelerate development times in 5G, the Intel® 5G Mobile Trial Platform is powered by high-performance Intel® FPGAs and Intel® Core™ processors. Now TEMs can test
interoperability with devices sooner, operators can take the platform into real-world situations earlier, and standards bodies can collect data for final specs faster.
Since we announced the Intel® 5G Mobile Trial Platform at MWC in 2016, we’ve been collaborating with industry TEM leaders like Ericsson* and Nokia* and participating in trials with
operators like AT&T*, Korea Telecom*, NTT Docomo* and Verizon*.
But we’re not done. We will continue to test and drive results and innovations into the full standalone 5G NR standard, which is expected at the end of 2018.
However, let’s remember that 5G is more than wireless. For it to become a reality, a network transformation is required to replace static, fixed-function equipment with a virtualized,
software-defined network. Fortunately, it’s happening already. Leaders in the industry are expecting infrastructures to near more than 50 percent virtualized and realizing the benefits of
lower total cost of operations and faster service innovation and deployment.
5G can happen only when the network, cloud and device come together into a powerful end-to-end 5G solution. That’s why Intel is unique in the industry for its ability to provide
solutions for each of these areas.
Indeed, 5G implementation is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. It’s safe to say that years from now – when our cars drive themselves and our smart homes make our lives easier – we’ll look
back with a sense of nostalgia at our smartphones and apps that were world-changing at the time. And no doubt another new technological innovation will then be racing at us.

Expanding RF spectrum
➢ LTE operating down to 800MHz, and next to 700MHz.
➢ Up to 3.8 GHz for initial 5G
➢ 5G then going to millimetre wave (first 26/28 GHz, then 39 GHz).

Interference management becomes a key issue:


• Re-using many old frequency bands, with very crowded spectrum.
• LTE is the primary standard, but uses OFDMA and is not resistant to RF interference.
5G NR also OFDMA based.

Deployment scenarios

LTE (macro cell)


LTE NR Co-located cell
NR (small cell)
Non-co-located cell

Cell layout where NR and LTE coverage coexists

In terms of cell layout served by NR, the following scenarios are assumed:
- Homogeneous deployment where all of cells provide the similar coverage, e.g. macro or small cell only;
- Heterogeneous deployment where cells of different size are overlapped, e.g. macro and small cells.
The left side shows a scenario where both LTE and NR cells are overlaid and co-located providing the similar coverage.
Both LTE and NR cells are macro or small cells.
The right side shows another scenario where LTE and NR cells are overlaid, and co-located or not co-located, providing
different coverage. In this figure, LTE serves macro cells and NR serves small cells.
A co-located cell refers to a small cell together with a macro cell for which their eNB is installed at the same location.
A non-co-located cell refers to a small cell together with a macro cell for which their eNB is installed at the different
location.

Massive MIMO key concepts
Traditional ‘Spatial Multiplexing’ MIMO uses similar
number of Tx and Rx beams, and creates multiple data
streams by using channel estimation/coding.

Using a large number of antenna elements, we can create a narrow beam.


Can be applied to both Tx and Rx antennas.

When using a massive number of Tx elements versus number of required beams, we can
create and steer a number of beams simultaneously. [M >>K]
