  1. The Impact of IP on Wireless Networks and Spectrum Management Marc Girouard Spectrum Engineer Spectrum Engineering Branch Spectrum, Information Technologies and Telecommunication Sector Industry Canada RABC - FWCC Presentation, December 17, 1999

  2. Outline: • A) Convergence Pressures ? • Network Capacity (Packet Switched) • Value Added Services (Data & Voice) • B) The 2 Faces of IP • User Traffic • Protocol Issues (VoIP, GOS, Security) • C) Spectrum Management • Duplex Separation & Bandwidth • Usual issues • D) Future Work

  3. A) Convergence Pressures: • Recent and Present information: • A recent IC study on the impact of IP on FWA systems • International Standards bodies such as the ITU and IETF • Statistics from various sources including commercial information • Trends observed in the Wired& Wirelesstelecommunications networks • Existing telecommunications industry in general • Evolution of current or near future wireless systems: • IMT-2000, FWA, RLAN, HDFS, Satellite

  4. Convergence: the bottom line is network capacity and available services.

  5. Value added services: • E-Commerce • Data • Integrated Billing • & Customer care • Multimedia • Voice • Mobility • VPNs • Web browsing • RAS/RMS • Rich Network Management • Email

  6. Circuit Switched Network • Dedicated channel for • duration of connection • Uses available capacity • inefficiently Packet Switched Network • Bandwidth is shared • More efficient use of capacity Increase Capacity by Moving from: To:

  7. Circuit Access Frame Relay Access Circuit Switching Frame/ATM Switching SONET Transport RF Transport Circuit Access IP Access Circuit Switching Frame Relay IP Switching Wireless SONET Transport SONET Transport PSTN Internet Mainly Voice Mainly Data Today’s Networks:

  8. New Converged Networks: • IPv4 is already the defacto • standard for internet networks • Data traffic is estimated to • exceed voice traffic by 2001 • Global market is estimated to • be $17 billion by 2002 IP, Circuit, Frame Relay Access IP and/or ATM with MPLS Switching DWDM & RF Transport Killen & Associates, IP Telephony: new markets for systems and service providers

  9. But what is IP ?

  10. B) The two faces of IP: INTERNET User (Information Content) IP PROTOCOL Network (technical standard)

  11. Factors to consider: User: Emails - Receive more than send (although, you may send to a list) WWW - Download a lot more than you upload (typically 10:1) Multimedia - Need high bandwidth, low latency Access speed - It’s never fast enough ! Network: Addressing - Address size is limited in current version of IP Switching - IP switching is just coming to market Security - No single standard GoS - Not available in current version of IP

  12. Packet traffic is bursty: Internet Traffic Traditional Voice Traffic 1 user Average Load 100 users Average Load Average Load Average Load 1 million users

  13. Regional Local Backbone Distribution Access ~ ~ ~ Asymmetric Network Traffic (or not): Satellite Server Farms Wireless CATV WDM Internet & Fibre SONET Copper Fibre Routes ATM & FR PSTN

  14. The Frequency Management Impact

  15. C) Spectrum Management Does Industry Canada need to modify the way spectrum is allocated for radio systems transporting packets ? • Allocation considerations: • Frequency bandwidth requirements • Duplex separation • Modulation • Access protocols • Bit rate • Interference • Evolution of IP/Packet protocols • IP considerations: • asymmetric and symmetric traffic • latency • multicasting • QoS • overhead • security • retransmission of packets • was not designed for wireless transport

  16. We Want To Hear From YOU !!!

  17. D) Future work: • CRC research project “Wireless, the way to the future” • Contract: “Impact of Wireless IP on Spectrum Management” • Follow National & International forums • Meet with Manufacturers and Operators
