Editor's Notes
- Traffic in the mobile phone segment is today primarily generated by smartphones and the increasing number of smartphone subscriptions is the key driver of mobile data traffic growth. In fact, smartphone subscriptions are expected to more than double by 2020, resulting in a rapid traffic growth over the foreseeable future. Of course, increased consumption of data per subscription, mainly driven by video applications, is also contributing to this growth resulting in an expected 10-fold increase in traffic volume between 2014 and 2020. Today, social networking constitutes around 15 percent of the total mobile data traffic. Its overall market share is expected to remain at the same level in 2020, even though social networking will increasingly include data-rich content. In 2020, 60% of all mobile data traffic is forecast to come from video. It is safe to say that towards the future with internet of things, a lot of devices need to be connected and there will for sure be a lot of traffic generated in the network in the network. These estimates come from the Ericsson Mobility Report June 2015.
- The networks today and going forward will be about multi-standard, multi-band and multi-layer, Already today, many operators have 3 technologies, GSM, HSPA, and LTE. Ericsson was early and still put a lot of focus on multi-standard offerings. The future is also about adding more bands for capacity and the growing demand for user experience. We think that a majority of the operators will have a 5 band deployment in the coming years. Further, to get the maximum performance out of each band, we believe that most if not all of the bands will have a multi-layered deployment, i.e. a combination of macro and small cells. One of the most important areas of our software is to maximize the coordination between the bands, layers and standards. This is also why we focus a lot on carrier aggregation and small cells features in our roadmaps. The strong momentum of carrier aggregation (and the fact that devices support more and more bands) and coordination leads to that the best performance will be achieved having the same vendor in a certain area. It is a clear drawback to mix vendors on different bands and/or technologies
- ‘3X Multi’ is the foundation for the radio transformation required for the future. 5 bands deployments we have talked about earlier and LTE will continues to evolve both functionality wise and into new frequency bands. 3.5 GHz is already in our product plans, the license assisted access CA and LTE-Unlicensed is on its way. What is important is that there is a natural evolution towards 5G and todays and future technologies will be the foundation also for 5G, as illustrated in this picture.
- Operators will need to manage a complex mi x of radio standards, bands and layers over time, and Ericsson is pacing such emphasis on the successful delivery of a 3xMulti radio network evolution with best performance, robust mobility and maximum spectrum efficiency. Operators typically already have multiple radio technology standards in operation (most commonly GSM, WCDMA-HSPA and LTE). Even as new standards are introduced, all these standards are likely to continue to coexist for many years to come. With multi-standard mixed mode solution, operators will be able to spread their capital and operating costs across all generations of radio technology and shift traffic handling capacity to the technology that needs it. Hardware- and energy-efficiency will be greatly enhanced. As operators roll out 4G LTE networks, and begin developing their strategies for introducing 5G technology, many are keen to refarm spectrum currently used for 2G and 3G networks to the newer, more efficient mobile broadband technologies as soon as possible. Thin Layer GSM is a solution to enable an efficient, high-performance and future-ready GSM network that enables operators to refarm much of their 2G spectrum to 3G and 4G to meet the growing demand for mobile broadband. Such a ‘Thin Layer’ GSM network will be able to handle remaining 2G voice traffic and M2M traffic within much smaller spectrum demands and remain in operators’ networks for a long time. With multiple radio bands in service in their networks, it will be vital for operators to maximize the spectrum efficiency and utilization of these bands. . With features like Carrier Aggregation for LTE and Dual Band Multi-Carrier for HSPA, the network is able to deliver higher throughput, capacity, coverage and therefore enhanced user experience from existing frequency allocations. Carrier Aggregation for LTE can combine both FDD and TDD frequencies as well as licensed and unlicensed frequencies. Dual Band Multi Carrier for HSPA enables band combination of low band and high band for extended coverage reach and improved spectrum efficiency. Maximizing performance in traffic hotspots and indoor areas will require a multi-layered combination of macro and small cells. This will make radio coordination features among the bands, layers and standards vitally important, with a strong need for radio performance, traffic management and load balancing as well as SON automation. The higher level of integration and coordination, the greater are efficiency gains.. As operators strive to deliver excellent mobile broadband performance in the busiest parts of their networks – city centers, business parks, transport hubs, public venues and hub sites – they will need to deploy extreme capacity sites to efficiently serve the growing volumes of 2G, 3G, 4G, and future 5G, mobile traffic. Ericsson Radio System's modular architecture flexibly expands to changing demands with multi-standard, multi-band and multi-layer technology. It all but eliminates site acquisition issues, delivering three times the capacity density with 50 percent improvement in energy efficiency. The new portfolio reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by 20%.
- In summary, operators will need to manage a complex mix of radio standards, bands and layers over time, and Ericsson is pacing such emphasis on the successful delivery of a 3xMulti radio network evolution with best performance, robust mobility and maximum spectrum efficiency. The operator will benefit from Ericsson’s fully integrated and coordinated 3xMulti Radio Access Network for the best App Coverage and TCO, supporting their business today and laying the great foundation for 5G.
