  1. IPv6 in Wireless infrastructure and Terminals L-F Pau,General Manager, Ericsson Network Core products,and L.M.Ericsson/DT LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  2. Ericsson forecast:mobile subscribers grow faster than Internet subscribers 1,000 900 Rest of theworld 800 Latin America 700 600 Asia Pacific(excl. Japan) 500 Subscribers (in million) 400 WesternEurope 300 Japan(excl. PHS) 200 100 NorthAmerica 0 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  3. GMSC HLR GGSN SGSN MSC BSC Today 2000-2001 !!! : GPRS network overview PSTN/ISDN IP Packet core NW Core NW Radio NW Transport: IP, Frame Relay Protocols: GSM heritage ,but IPv4/IPv6 protocols for data SGSN: Serving GPRS Support Node GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node BTS LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  4. Backbone MGW MGW Wireline Wireless Common architecture 2003 -Ericsson 3G Network based on the same Server/Gateway architecture for wireline & for wireless -IPv6 supported in 3G Release 2000 standards, with implementations now and widely available 2003 (ETSI , 3GPP decisions) Media Gateway LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  5. GMSC HLR GGSN SGSN MSC RNC UMTS network (2003 , but 2001 in Japan) PSTN/ISDN IP Packet core NW Core NW UTRAN UTRAN transport: ATM New tricks: Soft Handover using IP UTRAN: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network RNC: Radio Network Controller BTS LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  6. But in fact ....by end 2003 access will be : • 1 B fixed IP nodes • 1 B mobile nodes • 1 B circuit switched and high bandwidth nodes and combinations thereof for various convergence services • plus x Million Bluetooth machine-machine communications • plus x Million xDSL etc nodes with n>10 logical users per node • plus x Billion roaming sessions for Mobile IP services across networks LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  7. IPv6 evolution with interoperability mandated • Technical : 128 bit addresses in terminals • Acceptance,user friendliness and support : auto configuration • Services: always connected anywhere • Business models : flow labels • Bandwidth and mobility : header compression and soft hand over • Interoperability fixed/mobile • Commerce: IPSec,PKE/AAA and encryption LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  8. Network Evolution time plan (also as 3GPP,ETSI,etc evolve..finally) Phase2 EDGE UMTS Phase1 Real time IPv6 voice and data GPRS Best effort packet data UMTS with IPv4+v6 Best effort packet data Circuit switched voice EDGE No voice Best effort packet data EDGE Best effort v4 packet data GSM voice GPRS with IPv4 Best effort packet data GSM voice EDGE UMTS Real time spectrum efficient multimedia 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  9. GPRS/UMTS R00 • Includes All-IP Architecture Option with IPv6 adopted May 2000 • GPRS as basis • Includes GPRS Core Network • Home Subscriber Server (HSS) instead of HLR • New Entities - Voice over IP infrastructure (IPv6 based) • Call State Control Function (CSCF) • Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) • Media Gateway Function (MGW) • New Interfaces • New Protocols LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  10. Multiple levels of mobility (examples) • Access level • classical cellular • Network level • Mobile IP and soft handover • Roaming level • ROAMOPS • Application level • H.323 mobility, POP3,WAP Gateways,etc LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  11. Mobility user concepts • The user does not want to know! • True mobility: always the best access • depends on subscription, coverage, terminal capability • The way to get there: • Unobtrusive, hidden, seamless across access forms • World wide, access technology neutral LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  12. Ease of use of terminals and client applications • IPv6 self configuring nodes (PDA’s, terminals , xDSL nodes) • possibility to use policy servers at network level LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  13. EVOLUTION For mobile and convergence networks , no doubt about : -the need for v6 -v6 advantages -v6/v4 coexistence and migration need but : -lack of importance in IETF and some regions of the world as to a realistic migration driven by cost of ownership and competitive advantages at service level -the absolute need for quality implementations -reduce fears as to retraining , legacy , etc... LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  14. SOME CHALLENGES... • Address management with mobility support and authentification • The slow eye-opening of most legacy ISP´s and Mobile ISP´s LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  15. B.t.w some Ericsson implementations/initiatives using IPv6 • AXI 820 mobile real time IPv4/IPv6 router announced @ GSM Cannes (Ericsson Radio) and fully operational • AXI 46x dual IPv4/IPv6/ATM/FR router products for enterprises and infrastructure (Ericsson Telebit); early supply of OSPF v3 and IPSEC in IP • NewBit experimental router (Ericsson Telebit) • IPv6 in Ericsson/Juniper router products (joint venture) • Key role in 6INIT , 6WINIT, NGI project in Europe and others • IPv6/IPv4 in terminals,base stations and PDA’s • “Life “ IPv6 VOIP trials such as Smart Tone (HK) • Interoperable IPv4/IPv6 applications for military needs (NATO,IPANEMA,Swedish NetDefence) LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  16. And some other IP initiatives at Ericsson... • Joint venture with Electrolux around IP in washing machines and home appliances (large scale field trials in Denmark) • Joint venture with Volvo on Internet car (already demonstrated) • IP in Bluetooth components and systems (Ericsson Microelectronics, Bluetooth company) • IP in building management (JV with Skånska and others) • and more to come... LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau

  17. IPv6, conclusion • Technology maturing • Inevitable in mobile networks, co-existence in others • Good Business models with IPv6 - Business /traffic/infrastructure/service business models for IPv6 mobile traffic and services - Billing solutions (EHPT) - Collaborations with operators and new users LME/DT+UAB/TC L-F Pau
