MARCH overview: Broadband access over multilink networks Terje Tjelta, MARCH coordinator 1
Three main results 1. Broadband access market and economics 2. Multilink network techniques and architectures 3. Multilink network demonstrated 2
Traffic Broadband access market trends Smart phones and other terminals keep pushing technical limits Mobile data traffic doubles quickly, may be a year or so The result is an explosive exponential traffic growth Operators must invest in higher capacity networks, or use pricing to keep the growth at a manageable level Western Europe busy hour traffic Mobile data 16 times higher in 2015 compared to 2009 Relative to larger fixed data the ratio reduces to 6 in 2015 compared to 19 in 2009 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Year Poster stand for more on market and business Afternoon presentation on Internet business transition 3
What is multilink? Multilink access allows simultaneous traffic for one single application or several applications over two or more networks, such as mobile plus hot-spot, either offloading entire application flows or split and merge flows or Benefits increased throughput increased reliability improved service continuity higher network resources utilisation 4
Heterogeneous networks the normal method for accessing services In the near future all mobile services to be delivered over LTE using Internet protocol (IP) packet data International standardisation (3GPP/ETSI, IETF, IEEE) MARCH suggestion to 3GPP Service flow split/merge ML User Equipment MPG (Multipath Gateway) Service Flow Splitting / Merging App App MLA MPG Poster stands for improved network utilisation resource management Afternoon presentation on 5 multilink network architectures
Two multilink demonstrations follows: Robust and resilient video conference over multiple access networks o o Multilink using Telenor s 3G and Wi-Fi networks at Fornebu and LTE provided by Huawei JIC Demonstration shown by Lividi Live video anywhere anytime over multiple access networks o o Multilink using public 3G and Wi-Fi networks Demonstration shown by LiveU Poster stand for adaptive video streaming over multiple links 6
Real-time adaptive multilink streaming for video conference and remote operations Application requirements o Low delay Limited buffering No retransmission o Some of the data is more important that other, e.g.: Good audio more important than good video In scalable video (H.264/SVC) base-layer is more important than extension layer 7
