Unified MPLS for Mobile Backhaul |
|
| |
|
Unified MPLS defines an easy way of taking constraints into account and apply the architecture  to build large scalable MPLS networks for efficient backhaul of Mobile traffic. Discussing in detail the Unified MPLS model for Mobile backhaul and explaining the benefits of such architecture.

MPLS for LTE Backhaul |
|
| |
|
LTE requires clock distribution and traffic encryption. These requirements, but also low-cost and high-capacity Ethernet ports for transport make LTE networks to be built preferably on Ethernet and IP technology. Nevertheless there are good reasons for using MPLS in addition.

Mobile Backhaul Evolution towards LTE |
|
| |
|
Achieving the impossible - low latency MBH, IPSec implementation and simplified X2-traffic handling.
Security is important but is IPSec necessary?
Is low latency a must for new mobile applications but how to engineer a low latency MBH?
Is phase synchronization really required for LTE and is 1588v2 an acceptable solution?

GMPLS-based IP/Optical Integration - Benefits and Case Studies |
|
| |
|
Leveraging lab experiments to demonstrate advanced protection and restoration capabilities that  will improve resiliency as well as optimize overall network designs. Using actual field tests to take a closer look at network design margins and how integration with purpose built features can reduce network design margin hence reducing overall cost.

Packet-Optical Integration via GMPLS UNI |
|
| |
|
Deployment of advanced Packet-Optical Transport systems into operational networks  necessitates a correspondingly advanced degree of integration between packet and optical control planes.
Describing the set of control plane mechanisms and techniques which are being used to achieve this goal.

Achieving Operational Excellence with Control Planes and Network Management Convergence in IP and Optical Networks |
|
| |
|
Enhancements in UNI interfaces between the GMPLS and IP/MPLS control planes helps to improve  key operational aspects of the converged optical and IP network.
Probably the most important benefit from UNIs is the resiliency coordination among optical protection/ restoration and MPLS fast rerouting mechanisms.
