Context and objective of this demo event ■ COMBO – COnvergence of fixed and Mobile BrOadband access/aggregation networks – is an FP7 European project on convergence of fixed and mobile networks, with three main targets: ♦ Target 1: Define and develop FMC architectures for future networks, which will be technically assessed with respect to FMC use cases defined by the project ♦ Target 2: Demonstrate experimentally key FMC network features to show the feasibility of proposed architectures ♦ Target 3: Influence standardization bodies with respect to FMC architectures to push COMBO concepts ■ This demo event intends to present main outcomes and proofs of concept obtained by the project up to now, with a specific focus on experimental results (target 2) Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 5 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

What is network Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) Today‘s network architecture Potential converged architecture Fixed and mobile networks Common architecture for fixed and § are developed independently of mobile network requires interaction at each other different points: § Structural convergence § have only very limited joint § Common use of resources e.g. usage of infrastructure infrastructure, technology, § have independent network interfaces, transport mechanisms operation, control and § Functional convergence management § Unification of fixed and mobile network functions FMC only at service level (e.g. IP Multimedia Subsystem) Aggregation Fixed Core Functional convergence Fixed Core Fixed Functional Fixed Structural convergence access convergence access Network Aggregation Functional Network convergence Radio Mobile Core Mobile Core access Radio access Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 8 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

Why network FMC is needed for 5G design Drivers Expected benefits from network FMC • Increasing number of users and • Unification of hardware connected devices resources (equipment, cables, sites, etc.) for both fixed and • Need to access any content any mobile services time anywhere with any device • Cost and energy savings • Bandwidth-hungry usages of fixed and mobile customers, • Simplification of fixed and driven by video streaming mobile network architectures • Increasing Wi-Fi traffic coming • Ease of use, ease of operation from mobile terminals and network sharing capabilities • A resulting tight price pressure • Network FMC will enable a on telcos requiring significant 5G infrastructure with CapEx and OpEx reductions end-to-end management and orchestration Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 9 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

COMBO project vision in a nutshell ■ COMBO targets structural and functional convergence of fixed and mobile networks Structural convergence • Integration of backhaul/fronthaul with fixed access / aggregation • Integration of unified fixed and mobile functions in key functional blocks and functional entities Functional convergence ■ COMBO defines network scenarios based on Next Generation Point of Presence (NG-POP), as the location for the subscriber IP edge of fixed, Wi-Fi and mobile networks • distributed NG-POPs @ main COs • centralized NG-POPs @ core COs ■ COMBO defines a Universal Access Gateway (UAG) as a functional entity unifying user access to fixed and mobile networks • UAG data planes include the common subscriber IP edge for fixed, mobile and Wi-Fi and are located in NG-POPs Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 11 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

2. Structural convergence Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 12 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

Heterogeneous Radio Access Networks will trigger structural convergence ■ Larger number of antenna locations ■ Required RAN coordination (small and macro cells) ■ Much more capillarity and dynamicity required from back-/ fronthauling infrastructures Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 13 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board

Structural convergence Unified optical access / aggregation network ■ Features of the unified optical access / aggregation • Converged physical layer functions supporting heterogeneous access services for fixed, mobile and Wi-Fi • Low latency and high capacity required for fronthaul transport • Compatibility with legacy infrastructures, e.g. existing Optical Distribution Networks ■ Different flavors have been studied and experimented by COMBO • based on Next Generation Passive Optical Network 2 (NG-PON2) o either on Wavelength-Selective or Wavelength-Routed Optical Distribution Network o including centralized wavelength control and improved with low latency electrical crossconnect • or based on Dense WDM (DWDM) flexible photonic transport technologies o including joint orchestration of RAN, transport and cloud resources Demo Event – 28th April 2016 – Lannion – Introduction 14 This presentation is property of the COMBO Consortium and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the Project Board
