Convergence of Fixed Sample Clauses

Convergence of Fixed. M obile Network Functions (Functional Convergence) The convergence of fixed and mobile network functions will allow key functionalities of fixed and mobile networks to be implemented uniquely at or below layer 3 (IP), ensuring increased openness of network interfaces, collaborations between various access technologies, a unified control plane, and also increased network efficiency through a better distribution/localization of essential network functionalities. This aspect of fixed / mobile convergence, which we call functional convergence, is schematically depicted on Figure 3. It will primarily impact the control plane of future networks through unified control mechanisms of fixed and mobile networks, but will also impact their data plane through an optimization of protocol stack and a better distribution of data flows in the converged network. Functional convergence will improve QoS, QoE and flexibility for the end user (e.g. coverage/accessibility and speed/comfort), it will also improve the service attractiveness and the openness of infrastructures, thus fostering collaboration between service providers and network operators. As an example, functional convergence would allow a WiFi community service provider to implement fast handover for its customers between its WiFi platform and the 3GPP network of another operator, thanks to unified control of heterogeneous networks and technologies as well as homogenization at functional level of authentication and subscriber management. As the wireless segment of FMC networks can be composed of base stations using different access technologies (WiFi, WiMAX and LTE/LTE-A) and different cell sizes (macrocells, microcells, picocells, femtocells), functional convergence will be needed to provide interconnection of all the components of these heterogeneous networks and technologies. It will allow optimised localisation and integration of functionalities (e.g. (centralized) mobile base band processing) to enable efficient network level load balancing schemes by means of dynamic routing (BS as a router). Energy aspects will be also taken into account in such kind of meshed BSs deployment to enable network sleeping tools when possible. Moreover, effective traffic offloading strategies by means of IP flow mobility in multi-access environment will be studied in COMBO to solve network capacity problems and to avoid congestion in the network. COMBO will in particular target a better distribution and localisation of EPC advan...

Convergence of Fixed. M obile Equipment and Infrastructures (Structural Convergence) Structural convergence is defined as the mutualization of fixed and mobile access / aggregation network infrastructures and hardware (e.g. cable plants, cabinets, sites, equipment, buildings). To reach this requires a deep understanding of both worlds and common network design targeting an overall optimum is required. This convergence of fixed and mobile equipment and infrastructures is depicted schematically on Figure 5. It will be fostered by central office consolidation and BBU hotelling techniques, and aims at defining joint fixed/mobile equipment and infrastructures for access and aggregation networks. It will optimise the use of the most costly part of the network, and thereby drastically decrease cost and energy consumption, thus improving the return on investment of access/aggregation infrastructures and fostering large scale deployments of very high fixed and mobile broadband in Europe. Structural convergence is an important target of COMBO. More specifically, COMBO will propose new mobile backhaul architectures that allow to move the mobile-traffic processing equipment (which takes place in the so called Base Band Unit, or BBU) in a separated and possibly distant location at NG-POP, that can be far from the antenna location (reduced to a Remote Radio Header or RRH). Furthermore, structural convergence will also allow central office consolidation of fixed networks to be performed in strong synergy with the development of mobile access infrastructures: COMBO will thus target convergence of traditional PON access and dedicated wavelengths for mobile traffic backhauling on a single fibre infrastructure, or even on a single equipment, as illustrated on Figure 5.
