Migration from Copper to Fiber Access Network using Passive Optical Network f...Umar Farooq
This document discusses migrating Pakistan's telecommunication access network from copper to fiber optic using a Passive Optical Network (PON). It proposes building a platform for optimized PON planning and deployment using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS would allow digitizing maps, planning fiber routes, and simulating network performance. The platform aims to lower costs while meeting increasing bandwidth demand through a scalable fiber infrastructure. Field tests of the GIS-planned network showed reductions in capital and operating expenditures.
This document analyzes the performance of UDP over Bluetooth. It finds that:
1) For a single slave piconet, UDP throughput is unaffected by packet size due to segmentation and lack of interference.
2) For multiple slave piconets, UDP throughput varies widely with packet size and non-linearly, influenced by Bluetooth segmentation.
3) Inquiry frequency also impacts throughput, with more frequent inquiries reducing throughput more due to increased overhead.
3GPP LTE-A Standardisation in Release 12 and Beyond - Jan 2013 Eiko Seidel, C...Eiko Seidel
Quite some time ago major improvements have been made to LTE with LTE-Advanced as part of 3GPP Release 10. Unquestionably, LTE-A will be the leading global 4G standard fulfilling the defined ITU-R requirements [1] on IMT-Advanced such as peak data rates beyond 1Gbps. While further enhancements to LTE-Advanced have just been completed in 3GPP Release 11, the new technology trends become visible to serve the continuously growing traffic demand. This White Paper, based on Nomor’s attendance of 3GPP, provides an outlook on 3GPP standardisation for the forthcoming years. Besides a summary of general trends and a projected release schedule, it includes an overview of the work and study items of Release 12 in the Radio Working Groups. New key technologies that Release 12 will address are: Small Cell Enhancements, a New Carrier Type, 3D-MIMO Beamforming, Machine-Type-Communication, LTE-WiFi Integration at radio level and Public Safety incl. Device-to-Device communication. While the completion of Release 12 is expected mid of 2014, deployments might be seen around the end of 2015 and later. NoMoR is active in different related research projects and offers consultancy services for related research, standardisation, simulation, early prototyping and technology training.
The document discusses EPC CUPS (Control and User Plane Separation) architecture in 3GPP releases. Some key points:

RF Planning and Optimization in GSM and UMTS NetworksApurv Agrawal
The report covers various aspects involved in improving the network coverage as well as the parameters used in planning of new network sites for GSM and UMTS networks.
The document outlines the requirements and goals for 4G mobile communication systems, which aim to provide faster and more advanced wireless access. It discusses how 4G systems will need to support broadband speeds of 100Mbps for outdoor use and gigabit speeds indoors, with low latency of less than 50ms. This will allow for enhanced multimedia applications like high-quality video calling and 3D communications. The document also examines trends in standardization to develop a technical solution and build international consensus for 4G networks.
Telcos prefer GPON over EPON for fiber networks due to technical and historical reasons. GPON was designed for phone networks to support both business and residential services. It also allows RF video signals to be transmitted over fiber. EPON is preferred by cable providers as it provides symmetrical bandwidth, important for cable applications. Ultimately the fiber network technologies are moving to all-IP transmission over point-to-point Ethernet connections.

GPON is an optimal solution for FTTH that provides cost-effective, high-bandwidth connectivity. It works by having an OLT in the central office transmit signals through a splitter to multiple ONTs connected to homes over a single fiber. Key advantages are supporting downstream speeds of 2.5 Gbps and upstream speeds of 1.25 Gbps over distances of up to 20 km. GPON also allows up to 64 users to share a single fiber connection, making it attractive for replacing copper networks cost-effectively in dense urban areas. As demands for high-capacity access networks grow, GPON provides features and advantages that are driving more FTTH deployments worldwide.
The document discusses technologies for 4G mobile networks including agent technology, IP technology, and reconfigurable technology. Agent technology uses autonomous software agents that can help with network management, service delivery, and overcoming limitations of mobile devices. IP technology will be the basis of 4G but may require changes to support convergence and integration. Reconfigurable technology allows network elements and user devices to dynamically adapt their software configuration to select the optimal network and access new services.
Mobile transport networks must evolve to support the new capabilities and requirements of 5G networks, including speeds of 10Gbps and beyond, low latency, and support for new applications. 5G will introduce new radio access network architectures and functional splits that distribute baseband processing, placing new demands on fronthaul transport between radio heads and centralized baseband units. Emerging solutions include packetized fronthaul interfaces like eCPRI that reduce bandwidth needs compared to traditional CPRI, as well as time-sensitive networking approaches to meet low latency requirements. Mobile transport networks must also concurrently support both 4G and 5G networks during the transition to 5G, posing integration challenges over the coming years.

This report describes the 5G requirements, use cases and technologies which are modelling the transformation of the core network and a roadmap how the 3GPP Evolve Packet Core can be modified to become the core for the 5G networks.
Mobile systems face challenges when connecting to Next Generation Networks (NGN) due to differences between circuit-switched mobile networks and the IP-based NGN. A new Base Station Gateway is proposed to provide these connections. NGN aims to reduce costs and offer integrated services via common IP technology, while mobile networks have evolved through generations based on circuit switching and packet technologies. Connecting mobile networks to the NGN backbone allows access to NGN services but requires protocol conversion through mobile media gateways.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Using GPON to Build A Broadband Access network.
As Case Study from One of China’s Leading Service Providers
Rong Han, Vice President, CNC Yangzhou
Jianfei Ye, Manager of Network Department, CNC Yangzhou
1. Background
Yangzhou CNC Broadband Networks Company is a next-generation service provider based
in Yangzhou, China, and is part of CNC China, the country’s second largest service provider.
CNC provides a full array of services to its customers through the provisioning of Fast
Broadband Internet Access, Professional Enterprise Telecom Services and Voice.
More and more end-users in China are demanding broadband access to the Internet with
demands on service quality. CNC Yangzhou competes with several service providers in the
area including China Telecom, and generally has less network infrastructure and fibers
deployed than this larger carrier. It therefore needs to provide cost-effective technologies
which can be deployed rapidly and reliably in order to win new business from competing
providers.
In CNC Yangzhou’s territory, there are many villages and towns served by the Yangzhou
municipal government. In each town, CNC wishes to build access networks to administrative
departments, schools, tax bureaus, tobacco bureaus and some business buildings.
In this case study, CNC outlines their requirements for a 21-town access network, and
their experience deploying a Gigabit PON (GPON) solution.
2. Existing Fiber network and demand for Town Access Network
The company’s network is based on a high-capacity, highly-reliable fiber Wide Area
Network (WAN) and broadband Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), with typically 355Mbps
international interfaces and a 40G backbone. Through this backbone infrastructure, CNC can
perfectly deal with the enormous information demands from its customers. To build their
access networks, CNC Yangzhou has traditionally deployed fiber and LAN technologies.
There are three main nodes in CNC Yangzou’s MAN, each using a CISCO 6500 series
router as the Internet convergence device. In addition, there is a CISCO 12000 series router
on the core node as the interface to the main CNC Internet backbone, CNCnet.
Among all the villages and towns in the area, 21 towns urgently need broadband access.
These towns are distributed largely in three different geographic directions with fibers from

the core node. In the first stage of the project to provide network access to these towns,
CNC designed a network to provide coverage and also meet their service requirements.
3. Perfect technology to access the towns ———— GPON
CNC had two main choices in designing this new town access network for Yangzhou:
deploy more fibers, or find a new technology, which can transport the three types of services
with less fibers.
Since deploying new fibers requires additional capital investment and time, CNC
explored innovative ways to better utilize the existing fiber infrastructure while also reliably
providing services. During the equipment selection, CNC established the following guidelines
for technology and vendor selection:
Reliable and flexible network infrastructure
Be able to provision of a full breadth of present and future services. All
the requirements for services should be considered from the beginning, avoiding
repeated investment future services.
All the services should be provided with minimal initial investment.
Profitable service provisioning
Fully provide all kinds of CNC service, including traditional voice, value-added
services and intelligent services on the same access network.
Support new services in the future as required.
Cost performance
The design should consider OPEX costs, and not just CAPEX costs, in order to
reduce network maintenance cost year after year.
High Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and a short ROI cycle is desirable.
Attention to future development
The solution should have good compliance with future technology.
All the devices should be modularized in the network, and easy to upgrade.
Stability and high performance
The networks should be stable with high performance.
All devices should be stable with very low failure rates

4. Vendor Selection – FlexLight’s Optimate GPON Solution
After thorough testing of several equipment providers’ solutions, CNC selected the Gigabit
PON (ITU-T G.984.x) GPON Optimate platform from FlexLight Networks, Inc
(www.flexlight-networks.com ). Optimate is FlexLight’s economical Gigabit PON (GPON)
solution, which readily addresses CNC’s need for economical and reliable voice, data and video
access over a single fiber access facility. It offers the benefits of high-speed data over PON,
while guaranteeing the E1 Quality-of-Service CNC’s voice customers expect from TDM
services and private line tariffs.
CNC began testing FlexLight’s Optimate GPON solution in October 2003. In the testing,
CNC used Optimate to provision all network services in 2 towns and the system proved very
stable. Figure 1 is a typical topology of FlexLight’s GPON solution.
Figure 1: GPON Topology
The FlexLight Optimate platform provides a solution for connecting CNC’s Central Offices
(CO) with Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) located in residential and business buildings.
FlexLight’s Optimate system consists of the following main entities:
Optical Line Terminal (OLT) The OLT is located at the Central
Office(CO), interfacing CNC’s metropolitan access network’s (MAN)
broadband services. The main functionality of the OLT is to adapt the
incoming traffic (Voice and Data) from the metropolitan rings into
FlexLight’s GPON transport layer.
Optical Network Terminal (ONT) The ONT is located at the
customer premises. The main task of the ONT is to interface the
customer enterprise services (Legacy TDM services such as E1/T1 as
6. Using GPON to Build A Broadband Access Network

well as data services such as Ethernet) and transport them over the
GPON optical network toward the OLT.
Management (FlexManage) FlexManage is the network
management system used to provision and manage the FlexLight GPON
network.
In February, 2004, CNC began to commercially deploy FlexLight’s GPON system to build
the town access network. CNC designed a network covering 21 towns, and in the first
implementation stage, installed a 15-town network. After two weeks of hard work by both
FlexLight and CNC engineers, CNC successfully provisioned all services provided to these 15
towns using FlexLight’s GPON access technology. Figure 2 depicts the topology of the full
service GPON access network provided by FlexLight Networks.
Figure 2 Full service access by GPON
FlexLight’s Optimate platform is modularized in its design, so CNC deployed all the
equipment in their minimal configuration to lower the initial capital costs of deployment. The
network can be upgraded as user-demand increases by adding additional ports / service cards
at nominal costs. In each town, CNC deployed an Optimate 1000NT (ONT) with 4 Fast
Ethernet (FE) ports and 4 E1 ports. In 2 of the main MAN nodes, CNC deployed an Optimate
2500LT (OLT) with 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface module and 1 STM-1 module.

Optimate 2500LT
The Optical Line Termination (OLT) located
at CNC’s Central Office is used to interface
with CNC’s metropolitan network broadband
services through the GbE and STM1 standard
interfaces. The OLT adapts the incoming
services from the metropolitan SDH and
Ethernet rings (both data and TDM) into the GPON-compliant transport layer for
transporting services to each town’s ONT.
The OLT performs the following downstream functions:
Adaptation of the incoming metropolitan-layer (METRO) services into GPON
encapsulated channels.
Transporting G.984 (GPON) mapped services toward the ONTs over the GPON fiber
network.
Execution of GPON transmission convergence functions such as framing, media
access control, and OAM.
And the following upstream functions:
Interface of the GPON optical distribution network
Recovery of customer services encapsulated using the G.984 protocol
Grooming and aggregation of customers services into SONET/SDH and GbE
interfaces output to the METRO network.
Optimate1000NT
The Optimate 1000-NT (ONT) is an
optical customer premise equipment
(CPE) platform, with a gigabit capacity,
which supports the transport of various
customer services, such as Ethernet (10/100 BaseT) and TDM (Native E1/T1) over a
passive optical network. The 1000-NT is a 1U device that has three user selectable
service slots. It converts the GPON protocol back to standard interface services, while
providing scalability and flexibility in terms of bandwidth and service types.
The ONT performs the following downstream functions:
8. Using GPON to Build A Broadband Access Network

Interfacing the GPON fiber network at 2.488 Gb/s.
Extraction of customer services from the incoming GPON signal.
Driving the customer’s Data and TDM interfaces on their CPE.
And the following upstream functions:
Adaptation of the user services into the GPON transport protocol.
Generation of bursty, 1.244 Gb/s, optical signal toward the OLT, based on media
access control commands from the OLT.
5. “Real World” Lessons Learned From Deploying GPON
During several months’ of “real-world” deployment of GPON, CNC further validated that
GPON is the best solution for access network. Compared to other technologies readily
available in the market,, it has absolute advantages:
GPON can bring all types of services from the end users to the MAN.
CNC therefore does not need to buy different dedicated equipment for voice, data
and even for video. GPON can provision all services in their native formats
from customer premise to MAN.
GPON is cost-effective (CAPEX and OPEX) due to its effective fiber usage.
GPON is a point to multi-point topology, with stronger access capability than
competing point-to-point topologies, which saves CNC a large amount of
fibers. In CNC’s solution, FlexLight’s GPON only uses 1 fiber to each of the 3
geographic directions from the CO to the various towns. For example, the town
Shatou is located at the center of 5 other towns. With FlexLight’s GPON solution,
CNC used only a single 20km fiber from the Cental Office (CO) to Shatou, and
deployed a passive fiber splitter at Shatou to run short fibers from that split point
to these 5 towns. This saved on the upfront capital costs by allowing the existing
fiber infrastructure to be used to service five additional customers instead of CNC
needing to deploy additional fiber at additional capital and time costs. It further
will save CNC ongoing Operational costs due to the fact that GPON’s passive
network requires no outside plant power or ongoing maintenance versus
competing “active” technologies.
Running a single GPON system is easier and more cost-effective for CNC
than running three different networks for voice, data and video. GPON
makes it possible to have all services managed in one network management
system with one core group of OAM&P methodologies. Having a single network
9. Using GPON to Build A Broadband Access Network
- 9 -
platform for all services, instead of having a dedicated and discrete voice platform,
data platform, etc., reduces the maintenance effort and costs for CNC by having
one platform to support and maintain.
The network can be built with minimal up-front capital investment and
be expanded for future services as needed. FlexLight’s GPON can be built
step-by-step in a “pay-as-build” mode. In this starting stage, CNC received all the
services provided with the minimal investment, while guaranteeing an upgrade
path.
6. Current status and summary
As soon as the GPON town network was completed, CNC began to provide various
services on it, including legacy voice, NGN voice, DDN line and Ethernet. CNC’s users on this
network today include the Cable TV department, town government, schools, tobacco bureau,
tax bureau, banks and other business organizations in every town.
The current network topology, showing all towns, fiber runs and GPON splitter locations is
shown in figure 3.
Figure 3 CNC Yangzhou Current Deployment
FlexLight’s Optimate GPON solution provided CNC a full solution to carry the array of
network services provided by CNC Yangzhou, and allowed CNC to stay in front of the
competition by reliably and economically providing services to their customers.
