Backhaul-Fronthaul
 3G/LTE Architecture
– Fronthaul is ~10% more
• L1/L2 are in Small Cell
• IP/IPSec between SN & RNs
– UE traffic
– SN-RN housekeeping
 Site Profile for Graphic
– Small/Medium (17 Radios)
– ~17Gb per day of traffic

Call Center
Case Study

13. © 2016 SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.
Site Overview
13
 Call Center
– 140,000 square feet
– 500 SIMS in each outer User area
– Unlimited data plans on devices
– 100% of devices on single operator
– (4) BC 4/13 RN-310’s per User area
– (5) RN-310 - Training area in middle
– Backhaul - 1 Gb port/100Mb CIR
 Test Strategy
– Normal usage by employees
• This site has never allowed devices on
Wi-Fi.
– 10 hour workday
– VoLTE & Video are used extensively
User Area User Area

Indoor Performance Results
 Average Daily Backhaul Usage
– Downlink: 125Gb (this is very large volume)
– Uplink: 10Gb
– Traffic Average: 50Mbps
 Average RAB’s
– 530,000 per day
– ERAB Drop Rate 0.50%
 CSSR and HO
– Consistent 99% or better range
 RF Link Capacity
– Operating peaks don’t exceed 20-30%
 Analysis
– Usage is much higher than
normally expected as 100% of
devices are on same operator
– System Scalability
• RF link and Ethernet fronthaul
capacity have plenty of headroom
• Backhaul capacity is the controlling
factor for system scaling

Macro-Network Results
 RRC Connected Users Average
– BC 4 RRC Connected Users
Average dropped about 45%
after E-RAN enabled
– BLUE = BC 4 (1700 Mhz)
• Note: BC 4 is preferred on macro
– RED = BC 13 (700 Mhz)

Macro-Network Results
 Downlink Throughput
– BC 4 DL dropped about 16% after E-
RAN enabled
– BLUE = BC 4 (1700 Mhz)
• Note: BC 4 is preferred on macro
– RED = BC 13 (700 Mhz)
 Downlink Usage
– RRC Connected Users dropped by 45%
but DL Throughput dropped by only 16%
– Conclusion: Less users consuming more
bandwidth means better user experience
