Comparison between IP RAN(IP/MPLS)and PTN Solution (1)

Item PTN IP RAN Comments

(IP/MPLS)
The cost of ATN and PTN is almost same.
Cost
1. Huawei IP RAN (Based on IP/MPLS )solution has an ability for easy expansion with
automatically IP routing protocol, when new ATN (access router) added in the network, just
Easy Expansion need few modification on the ATN box like IP address etc.
2. Using Huawei NMS U2000 GUI to configure the IP Backhaul ATN routers in batch remotely.

With Huawei NMS U2000 GUI based on rich IP/MPLS features, management is
centralized ,troubleshooting is highly efficient with integrated expert analysis system and
demarcation function is so easy for maintain team to distinguish responsibility for poor quality
Easy M&O issue in different segment network.
Huawei router has built-in IPFPM/Y.1731/MPLS-TP OAM/BFD features, which can measure the
network KPI anytime and fast locate failure point within few minutes.

With the function of DCN (Data communication Network) communicating by the ATN itself after
power on, we can remotely configure big amount ATN routers in batch with NMS, no need any
Fast Implementation configuration on site, fast implementation.

Comparison between IP RAN(IP/MPLS) and PTN Solution (2)
Item PTN IP RAN Comments
(IP/MPLS)
X2 traffic needs end to end delay less than 10ms.
PTN use MPLS-TP protocol: X2 traffic will go through aggregation nodes, which bring more
delay.
IP RAN(based on IP/MPLS): The gate way of eNB is ATN, X2 traffic can be forwarded as near as
LTE ready possible, lower delay and at lest 5% bandwidth resource can be saved.
eNodeB Re-homing frequently when expansion happen, IP RAN solution need not manually
configure.
e-MBMS service needs IP multicast to realize P2MP between e-MBMS gateway and eNBs.
PTN cant support this feature.
The interoperability of MPLS-TP (PTN use) equipment is so limited. MPLS-TP network is a closed
network.
Open architecture Huawei router (Based on IP/MPLS) interoperability has been proven by famous 3rd party
organizations and many Tier One operators.

Why Layer3 to Edge for LTE Services?
Reason2: Re-Parenting/Re-homing Needs L3 to Edge

eNodeB Re-Parenting frequently

Multi-layer coverage helps increasing the EPC1 EPC2
capacity of radio network
But it causes cell splitting, which brings
frequent rehoming between base stations

What is Ethernet Demarcation

Demarcation is for business, wholesale and mobile backhaul

applications, enabling a clear separation between the different
responsibilities scope.

Intelligent Ethernet demarcation devices offer advanced

functionalities such as service and link OAM, end-to-end traffic
management starting at the service hand-off point, extensive fault
monitoring and diagnostics, uplink redundancy, and automated SLA
verification.
