2018 will likely see the mobile industry take its biggest steps yet in rolling out 5G. Industry groups like the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) have been making impressive progress in defining technology standards and establishing timelines for 5G development in the last few years, and a number of 5G research partnerships have sprouted up among operators, researchers, and technology organizations. The expansion of this standards definition work and the strengthening of research into 5G’s capabilities and use cases will go a long way in bringing 5G into sharper focus next year.

But before the industry can make this transition, one of the next big steps will continue to be completing the buildout of the 4G LTE networks that are now gaining huge momentum. LTE represents a fundamental change in the form of a transition to an IP-based environment for the mobile industry that will lay the essential IP technology foundation for 5G. Moreover, there is wide recognition that 5G New Radio networks would be deployed mainly as hotspots and would have to rely on LTE networks to provide coverage and service continuity for many years.

Yet operators continue to face several challenges as they navigate the surge in LTE deployment now taking place. On the technology side, operators have to install new equipment and continually adapt existing infrastructure to evolving new standards. On the business side, operators have to determine a number of new pricing structures and business models as well as reconfigure business partner relationships for roaming. As a result, the next phase of LTE growth will depend on how smoothly operators are able to work through these technology and business complexities.

Three Factors<\/b>

Based on my recent work with customers, I see three factors playing a crucial part in overcoming some of these challenges:

1.Maximizing Interconnection footprint<\/b> – First, operators deploying LTE must focus on establishing reach to a maximum number of LTE networks to offer the widest coverage for their users. IPX has emerged as a fundamental network backbone for LTE, VoLTE and next-generation services, and IPX will therefore play a critical role in allowing operators to efficiently achieve this global reach. The IPX model allows a single-connection approach that simplifies testing and deployment while consolidating a large number of connections worldwide. For this reason, it’s highly recommended that operators include IPX at the core of their strategy in not just building out their LTE networks but also in laying a strong foundation for future 5G rollouts, which will require several hybrid interconnection scenarios for both Non-Standalone 5G New Radio and Standalone (SA) 5G New Radio deployments.

2.Ensuring roaming interoperability<\/b> – Enabling ubiquitous LTE roaming has presented significant challenges to operators, because it requires the comprehensive testing of a number of critical roaming processes. The complex areas involved in LTE roaming implementation that operators should carefully address include Diameter signaling infrastructure, roaming via packet data network gateway or Gateway GPRS support node to legacy systems, wholesale clearing and settlement processes, exchange of TAP records, and value-added services, just to name a few. Addressing these challenges successfully will also go a long way in ensuring a smooth path to 5G later.

3.Implementing VoLTE<\/b> effectively<\/b> – Voice and SMS communication has been the next frontier for LTE network deployments, and the introduction of IMS-based VoLTE service has now been gathering momentum. At present, over 125 networks in over 60 countries are now estimated to have commercial VoLTE service, according to a recent Ericsson Mobility Report. But enabling VoLTE poses several challenges. Operators must manage the intricate process of converting voice calls into internet traffic so the same airwaves can be used for voice or data. One of the most crucial challenges involves a roaming marketplace that is fragmented into markets with no LTE service, markets with both LTE and legacy 3G and 2G services, and markets with only LTE service. As a result, operators must have a strategy in place for these roaming situations co-existing, since the long, drawn-out saga of local breakout and S8 home-based routing architecture options for VoLTE roaming is well-known. Getting this right will be imperative for integrating more complex, 5G-based voice technologies later.

Looking Ahead<\/b>

As mobile traffic continues to explode and new technologies like the internet of things drive massive numbers of mobile devices online, 5G growth will soon take off. The GSMA now forecasts that the number of 5G connections globally will reach1.2 billion by 2025, accounting for around 14 percent of total connections, excluding M2M, and operators in more than 40 markets have now announced plans to launch 5G.

With these trends, placing emphasis for the short term on an interconnection strategy, roaming interoperability, and VoLTE implementation is critical for operators to position their networks for LTE for now, and to pave the way for 5G in 2018 and beyond.

准备在2018年为5克

(品牌连接倡议)移动交通继续爆炸和物联网等新技术推动网上大量的移动设备,5 g增长很快就会起飞

  • 2017年12月6日更新是01:55点

通过Pradeep Bhardwaj高级技术总监、行业标准和企业战略,Syniverse

2018年可能会看到手机行业最大的步骤在推出5 g。行业组织的第三代合作伙伴计划(3 gpp)一直在令人印象深刻的进步在定义技术标准和建立时间5 g发展在过去的几年里,和许多5 g研究伙伴关系在运营商如雨后春笋般的涌现,研究人员和技术组织。这个标准定义的扩张工作,加强研究5 g的功能和用例将把明年5 g引人关注。

但在这个行业可以实现这一转型,一个的下一个步骤将继续完成4 g LTE网络的构建,现在获得巨大的动力。LTE技术代表了一个根本性变化的形式过渡到一种基于IP的移动行业的环境,奠定必要的IP技术基础5 g。此外,有广泛的认识到5克新无线网络部署主要是热点,将不得不依靠LTE网络提供覆盖和服务连续性很多年了。

然而运营商继续面临几个挑战他们现在在LTE部署激增。在技术方面,运营商需要安装新设备,不断适应现有的基础设施发展的新标准。在业务方面,运营商必须确定新的价格结构和商业模式以及重新配置为漫游业务合作伙伴关系。因此,下一阶段的LTE平稳增长将取决于运营商能够通过这些技术和业务工作的复杂性。


三个因素

根据我最近的工作与客户,我看到三个因素在其中扮演着重要的一部分在克服一些挑战:

1。最大化互连足迹——首先,运营商部署LTE必须专注于建立达到最大数量的LTE网络为用户提供最广泛的覆盖面。IPX已成为一个基本为LTE网络骨干,回和下一代服务,因此IPX将扮演至关重要的角色允许运营商有效地实现这一全球影响力。IPX模型允许单个连接的方法,简化了测试和部署,巩固全球大量的连接。出于这个原因,它是强烈建议运营商包括IPX的核心策略不仅构建他们的LTE网络也奠定了坚实的基础为未来5 g糊涂事,这需要几个混合互连场景Non-Standalone 5 g的新收音机和独立(SA) 5 g的新收音机部署。

2。确保漫游的互操作性——让无处不在的LTE漫游运营商提出了重大挑战,因为它需要一些关键漫游过程的全面的测试。LTE所涉及的复杂地区漫游实现运营商应该仔细地址包括直径信号基础设施,通过分组数据漫游网络网关或网关GPRS支持节点遗留系统,批发清算与结算流程,利用交流记录,和增值服务,只是仅举几例。成功应对这些挑战也会走很长的路在确保平滑路径5克。

3所示。实现回 有效地——语音和短信通信已经LTE网络的下一个前沿部署,并引入基于ims回服务现在已经收集的势头。目前,超过125个网络在60多个国家现在估计商业回服务,根据爱立信移动最近的一份报告。但是启用回提出了一些挑战。运营商必须管理的复杂过程将语音通话转化为网络流量相同的波段可以用于语音或数据。最重要的挑战之一是漫游市场,分散到市场没有LTE服务,市场3 g和2 g LTE和遗产服务,和市场只有LTE服务。因此,运营商必须有一个策略对这些漫游共存情况下,长期以来,旷日持久的地方突破传奇和S8家庭路由架构选择回漫游是众所周知的。得到这个权利将必须集成更加复杂,5 g的声音技术建设。

展望未来

随着移动交通爆炸和物联网等新技术推动网上大量的移动设备,5 g增长将很快起飞。GSMA现在预测,5 g连接的数量在全球范围内将reach1.2十亿到2025年,占总额的14%左右连接,排除M2M, 40多个市场和运营商已经宣布计划推出5克。

与这些趋势,重点在短期内一个互连的策略,漫游互操作性,并回实现运营商的关键位置对LTE的网络,并为5 g在2018年及以后。
