FTTX ODN Solution Introduction PON access system should be an all-optical solution in response to the continuously growing bandwidth requirements in the last-mile (access) domain. PON-based access network follows the trend of delivery of triple-play services to end subscribers, aggregating three types of services over a single delivery platform. This in turns is the next step in the evolution of the core networks to IP-based NGN. In order to build the new generation of optical access networks, this solution draws on the technologies of different maturity extents such as EPON, GPON, Ethernet and xDSL, ranging from local exchange devices of various capacities to serialized user-side devices. It can be deployed in various application scenarios, such as FTTC, FTTB, FTTO and FTTH, enabling operators to deliver services in a simple and straightforward manner, providing cost-effective  high-bandwidth and multi-service support capabilities. This allows operators to become more competitive and adapt services to ever changing customer demands. #ODN #FTTH #FTTx #PON #OLT #ONU

5G Physical Layer (5G Series - Part 17) In 5G, radio resources are flexibly assigned in both time and frequency, allowing for optimized connectivity. For instance, with subcarrier spacing (like 15kHz in a numerology of 0), we see how downlink resources are allocated, beginning with essential signals: Synchronization Signals: Help users initially access the network. SSB (Synchronization signal block) consists of PSS, SSS, PBCH & PBCH-DMRS. Multiple SSB used in NR for different beams with distinguished pattern. It can also be used by the UE for RSRP and RSRQ measurements. Broadcast Channels: Provide vital network information. Control Channels: Manage scheduling and coordination. Shared Channels: Deliver user data, aided by reference signals that assess channel quality. To illustrate, let’s look at a high-frequency band (50MHz channel bandwidth) with a 10ms frame. Visualizing it on a grid: X-axis (time) shows OFDM symbols (slots). Y-axis (frequency) represents resource blocks (RBs), which vary with subcarrier spacing (e.g., 66 RBs at 60kHz spacing). 5G's flexible resource allocation, tailored by channel needs and spacing, is pivotal for enhanced connectivity and performance.

The future of wireless services of all types is likely to involve more spectrum-sharing and other more sophisticated approaches to #spectrum assignment and management. This applies to #5G, #6G, #WiFi, #satellite, audiovisual and various classes of aviation and martime networks, as well as government and defence usage. Sharing will occur based on multiple dimensions - location, duration, directionality, power and obviously frequency. That, in turn, will require a range of key enablers, including technological components such as spectrum databases, sensing systems, better transceivers, mapping tools, cross-technology signalling and much more. There will also need to be streamlined regulatory processes, spectrum marketplaces, and a whole variety of use-cases for AI + spectrum. There will also be a need for more international cooperation and (hopefully) eventual harmonisation. The evolution of spectrum-sharing is a central theme for me at the moment, and something that regularly crops up in my discussions with regulators, operators, vendors and investors. I've written a guest article for my client CRFS (a spectrum-sensing vendor) which discusses this in more detail. https://lnkd.in/esxTh_Yf

I spent yesterday at the LS telcom Spectrum Summit, in Lichtenau near Baden Baden in southwestern Germany. LS does a range of products and services primarily for regulators and other government agencies interested in monitoring or managing #spectrum allocations, as well as telcos and enterprises running or deploying wireless #networks of all types. There were various panels and presentations on themes such as: - Outcomes from #WRC23 and insight into behind-the-scenes processes at ITU and national regulators in managing the agenda & onsite negotiations - Spectrum-sharing models, with a particular focus on sharing spectrum with the defence sector, satellite industry and (once more) 6GHz for #5G + #WiFi. There was also a good discussion by Martin Sims of PolicyTracker about whether advances in sharing fit well with current international regulatory mechanisms like WRCs. - Practicalities of #Private5G. There was a speaker and small demo booth from Siemens talking about the uses for Industrial 5G, as well as a network set up onsite in the German 3.7-3.8GHz band - What happens to the UHF band between 400-700MHz in future, especially around the longevity of broadcast TV vs. alternative use-cases - Ongoing work in the UAE to set up a comprehensive system of spectrum-monitoring and a big-data and analytics systems to optimise security & efficiency of usage - A demo of a drone-based monitoring tool and set of applications that can be used by regulators (or others) for deciding what spectrum bands are used in a given area, as well as hunting down any sources of interference. I was speaking on a panel about future models for converged networks, especially around 4G/5G/6G and satellite, Wi-Fi and other technologies. There were also presentations by GSOA about future #5G & #6G NTN integration, and a great talk by Meta about the real-world design & tech challenges in creating AR glasses, blending #WiFi, #Bluetooth and #5G. (Key takeout - use cellular via a tethered smartphone, not in the device itself, when Wi-Fi not available. Latency is less important than you think). As with last week's #EUspectrum event, there was a strong message that the 3GPP community is going to have to get used to more #spectrum sharing in future, especially for #6G, so it better get engaged and take it seriously ASAP. Also it needs to expect pushback on the idea of continual mobile data growth, and closer scrutiny of its demand forecasts. Lobbyists won't get as easy a ride in future. My own presentation is attached - basically I spoke about convergence vs. coexistence, and also the importance of divergence in some settings. I covered #indoorwireless, trains & enterprise wireless, but also noted that "spectrum efficiency" needs to take account of real-world constraints & user behaviour. Thanks to Saul Friedner for the invitatation. This was my 3rd time at the event & was very much worth the rather travel to somewhere quite remote!

The #microwave industry has reached a consensus on the evolution direction of 5G/5.5G to ultra-broadband, simplified, multi-channel, is fully prepared for the new era Because #microwave #transmission is such a widely adopted technology, each evolutionary advance of the broader industry tends to spur further innovations in microwave in particular The needs of #5G & 5.5G spurred the development of wider, smarter microwave pipes; increasing scarcity of spectrum resources drove more spectral efficiency gains with microwave; the digital transformation of enterprises was met with new microwave solutions tailored to their needs; carriers' commitments to provide universal coverage prompted efforts to bring down the #TCO of microwave technology; with the emergence of new applications like ultra-broadband, multi-channel microwave, ultra-long-haul transmission, microwave again rose to the occasion with new #innovations in planning & delivery The larger bandwidth of 5G and 5.5G puts increasing the capacity of microwave backhaul high on the agenda. Demand for backhaul capacity could soon be tens of times higher than what it is now. Among all the microwave spectrum options, E-band is considered the sweet spot for 5G and 5.5G deployments, hence the importance of fully exploring its potential capacity. The increasing #density of microwave networks & paucity of #spectrum #resources necessitates the improvement of spectral efficiency In the current climate of global economic recovery, industry digital transformation is catalyzing a myriad of industrial applications of microwave transmission, such as in offshore wind power, disaster relief, power transmission. Microwave plays an important role in connecting industries & bringing network access to every part of society Universal coverage requirements imposed on carriers have driven innovation in the microwave transmission space. Those innovations are bringing down TCO through flexible modular design of products & solutions, lean deployments, simplified O&M. Long-haul microwave leverages new technologies such as high-gain beamforming (#HGBF) to bring down TCO The communications industry has evolved from Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (#PDH), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (#SDH), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (#ATM) to Internet Protocol (#IP), & #mobile #backhaul has likewise been changing from carrying only voice and data traffic to supporting the mobile Internet. In this process, ultra-broadband microwave has led to the emergence of new KPIs for future microwave planning The mass deployment of networks and introduction of new technologies such as multi-channel microwave & long-haul transmission inevitably result in complexities & challenges in planning, installation, O&M, optimization, but have also spurred the industry to develop new solutions for efficient microwave deployment & O&M Follow us on Kaneshwaran Govindasamy & Global 5G Evolution click comment box. #subscribe our #youtube channel #Huawei Huawei

🔍 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐆𝐢: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝟒𝐆 𝐋𝐓𝐄 📶 Hello my dear friends! As we continue our exploration of the vital interfaces in 4G LTE, today we’re focusing on the SGi interface, which plays a crucial role in connecting the mobile network to the broader internet. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐆𝐢? The 𝗦𝗚𝗶 interface links the PDN Gateway (P-GW) in the core network to external packet data networks, such as the internet or private enterprise networks. Essentially, it acts as the gateway through which user traffic leaves the 4G LTE network and enters the wider internet. This interface enables all internet-related services, whether it's web browsing, video streaming, or cloud-based applications. 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 The SGi interface is responsible for: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Providing users with access to the internet and external networks, allowing them to use applications like web browsing, social media, and streaming services. 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Supporting multiple services by connecting to different types of packet data networks, such as corporate networks, public internet, or specific application servers. 𝗡𝗔𝗧: Converting private IP addresses used within the mobile network into public IP addresses used on the internet. 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Ensuring that external traffic is filtered and secured, protecting the network from external threats. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 The SGi interface focuses on User Plane traffic, facilitating the transfer of user data between the P-GW and external networks. Here's how the protocol stack ensures seamless communication: 🌐 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤: 📡 𝗣𝗛𝗬: The base layer that handles the physical transmission of data over the network. 🛠️ 𝗠𝗔𝗖: Manages access to the shared physical medium for efficient transmission. 🌍 𝗜𝗣: Ensures proper routing of data packets between the P-GW and external networks. 🔄 𝗧𝗖𝗣/𝗨𝗗𝗣: Manages the reliable transmission (TCP) or fast transmission (UDP) of data across the network, depending on the type of traffic (e.g., web browsing uses TCP, video streaming may use UDP). 📱𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿: Represents the end-user services like web browsers, social media apps, and streaming platforms. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 The SGi interface is the gateway that connects 4G LTE users to the internet, making it possible for all the data we generate—whether browsing, streaming, or using cloud services—to reach the internet and return seamlessly. Without the SGi interface, mobile devices wouldn't be able to connect to the outside world, making it a critical part of the mobile network ecosystem. #4GLTE #SGiInterface #Telecom #Telecommunications #MobileNetworks #NetworkSecurity #MojtabaKarimi
