Why not Microwave for LTE backhaul?
!  LTE footprint still too small, so
    operators are finding fiber available
    within the initial coverage area.

!  Other backhaul means will be
    necessary to achieve the required
    quality of experience:
    !  Macrocell backhaul
       !  Microwave links (including
           millimeter wave)
        !  Free Space Optics
    !  Small cell backhaul
       !  Non-line of sight wireless
           backhaul
        !  Strand-mount (DOCSIS
           backhaul)
        !  Remote Radio Heads (RRH)

      from cell center
     •  Majority of handsets in a cell/sector are located within medium & far distance

     •  Typical macro cell tower hosts 3 LTE radio sectors
     •  Site backhaul capacity with overbooking factor (OBF) between 3 and 5
     •  Capacity includes 15% dynamic range margin for QoS
     •  Figures are already LTE high-end estimates, higher capacities through
       reducing overbooking factor to 1 from 3

LTE Capacity Conclusions

     •  LTE backhaul capacity needs are regularly over-stated
     •  Capacity is fixed per site and only determined by base
       station technology
     •  The backhaul limit for a site will likely be ~150 Mbit/s
       for a 10MHz LTE radio channel
     •  Only way to add more network capacity:
        -  Add more cell sites, upgrade to MIMO or increase the LTE channel
           bandwidth

     •  Ring/Mesh topologies are best suited to cope with the
       high capacity requirements

Uncertainty can lead to bad backhaul choices

      •  Backhaul discussion often in
        terms of hundreds of megabits or
        even gigabits of capacity
      •  Just one in four mobile operators
        have said that they understood
        the requirements for LTE
        backhaul
      •  This uncertainty could drive over-
        investment for backhaul capacity
        that is not needed within the
        foreseeable future

Why pay for capacity you may never need?

      •  The total cost of building
        or leasing fiber to the cell-
        site far exceeds that of a
        typical microwave
        connection
      •  Over-building capacity
        with fiber will waste an
        enormous amount of
        network investments

  • 23. Uncertainty can lead to bad backhaul choices •  Backhaul discussion often in terms of hundreds of megabits or even gigabits of capacity •  Just one in four mobile operators have said that they understood the requirements for LTE backhaul •  This uncertainty could drive over- investment for backhaul capacity that is not needed within the foreseeable future BJ$ W[WQ$XRQ]^%_`$$$$$a$ VWX+W%Y$BEQKZ$MJBB$
