Abstract
Methods and systems for reducing the cost of cellular backhaul are disclosed.
Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/148,953, filed on Jun. 9, 2005, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/578,266, filed Jun. 9, 2004. The above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
- The following description relates to radio systems.
- In cellular systems today, voice, data and signaling traffic must be backhauled from the cell tower sites to the central office where the mobile switching center is located. In general, backhauling refers to getting data to the core network, e.g., between the base station and the base station controller. In some cases, backhauling may include sending network data over an out-of-the-way route (including taking it farther than its destination) in order to get the data to its destination sooner or at a lower cost. Currently, a majority of this backhaul takes place over dedicated T1 lines. There are also some wireless backhaul schemes used primarily in short range niche applications that utilize both licensed and unlicensed bands.
- Cellular backhaul primarily utilizes dedicated T1 lines. The guaranteed bandwidth and latency are important to support real time voice calls. Typically, T1 slots are dedicated to particular voice circuits or data channels. Bandwidth efficiencies of using IP over the backhaul to aggregate traffic and dynamically adapt capacity to the varying demand for data and voice are available, but are not used in the majority of deployments today.
- While there are several wireless backhaul technologies, the interface to these systems is typically made to look like a T1 line. This allows the same interfaces and time slot assignments to be used. The advantage of wireless backhaul is lower cost compared to leasing T1 lines, but the wireless systems are often limited in range and by terrain.
- There has been interest in using the public Internet to backhaul cellular traffic given the wide availability and relatively low cost of Internet connections compared with dedicated T1 lines.
- In some aspects, the invention includes a method for backhauling wireless voice and data transmissions. The method includes receiving, at a base station, a wireless transmission.
- The method also includes forwarding the transmission from the base station to a base station controller over a shared network.
- Embodiments can include one or more of the following.
- The method can include receiving, at the base station controller, a second transmission and forwarding the second transmission to the base station over the shared network. The shared network can be a non-private network. The shared network can be the Internet.
- The method can also include providing a jitter buffer at the base station controller and using the jitter buffer to compensate for jitter introduced by the shared network. The method can also include providing a jitter buffer at the base station and using the jitter buffer to compensate for jitter introduced by the shared network.
- Forwarding the transmission can include forwarding the transmission using a secure protocol. The secure protocol can be SSL.
- The method can also include determining a priority of the received transmission and forwarding the transmission based on the determined priority. Determining a priority can include assigning a first priority to voice transmissions and assigning a second priority to data transmissions. The first priority can be greater than the second priority.
- Forwarding the transmission can include forwarding the transmission using voice over IP technology. The method can also include performing decryption of the transmission at the base station controller. The method can also include performing encryption of the second transmission at the base station controller. The method can also include performing power control at the base station. The transmission can be a transmission from a cellular telephone.
- In additional aspects, the invention includes a method that includes receiving, at a base station, a wireless transmission from a first mobile unit to be routed to a second mobile unit. The method also includes determining if the second mobile unit is within a communication range of the base station and if the second mobile unit is within the range, locally routing the transmission from the first mobile unit to the second mobile unit at the base station.
- Embodiments can include one or more of the following.
- The method can include forwarding the transmission from the base station to a base station controller if the second mobile unit is not within the range. Forwarding the transmission from the base station to the base station controller can include forwarding the transmission from the base station to the base station controller over a shared network. The shared network can be the Internet.
- In additional aspects, the invention includes a system for backhauling wireless voice and data transmissions. The system includes a base station configured to receive a wireless transmission and forward the transmission to a base station controller over a shared network.
- Embodiments can include one or more of the following.
- The system can also include a base station controller configured to receive a second transmission and forward the second transmission to the base station over the shared network. The shared network can be the Internet. The base station controller can include a jitter buffer configured to compensate for jitter introduced by the shared network. The base station can include a jitter buffer configured to compensate for jitter introduced by the shared network. The base station can be further configured to determine a priority of the received transmission and forward the transmission based on the determined priority.
- In additional aspects, the invention includes a system that includes a base station. The base station is configured to receive a wireless transmission from a first mobile unit to be routed to a second mobile unit and determine if the second mobile unit is within a communication range of the base station. If the second mobile unit is within the range, the base station is configured to locally route the transmission from the first mobile unit to the second mobile unit at the base station.
- Embodiments can include one or more of the following.
- The system can also include a base station controller. The base station can be configured to forward the transmission to the base station controller if the second mobile unit is not within the range.
- Advantages that can be seen in particular implementations include one or more of the following.
- In some embodiments, using a software radio system can reduce the cost of cellular backhaul.
- In some embodiments, the software radio system allows one to perform rapid experiments and any changes to the system or protocol can be software downloads to the infrastructure.
- In some embodiments, the software radio system employs QoS measurements and mechanisms to ensure adequate bandwidth and latency to support voice and data user requirements.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a network. - Referring to
FIG. 1A , a system 10 includes amobile unit 12 and abase station 14. The base station is connected to theInternet 16 close to the backbone and routs cellular traffic to the core network of a cellular service provider with lightweight, QoS mechanisms in place. The QoS mechanisms provide the required level of service for system 10 such that the system does not rely on the existence of excess bandwidth to provide the required level of service. - More particularly, system 10 includes a
mobile unit 12 which sends wireless signal transmissions to abase station 14. Thebase station 14 routs the transmissions to abase station controller 18 over the Internet 16 (e.g., the public Internet). Thebase station controller 18 subsequently routs the calls to themobile switching unit 20 and themobile switching unit 20 routs the calls to the public switchedtelephone network 22. In some embodiments, the signal transverses a second network (e.g., Internet 24) which is disposed between thebase station controller 18 and the mobile switching unit 20 (FIG. 1B ) - Signals can also be sent from the public switched
telephone network 22 to themobile unit 12 via themobile switching unit 20, base station controller 10,Internet 16, and base station 15. - Software radios can aid in the characterization of performance of the
public Internet 16 for backhauling real-time cellular voice and data traffic. Various types of QoS measurements and mechanisms can be used to support such real-time cellular voice and data traffic. - In order to reduce the cost of cellular backhaul, it is useful to use the Internet. At this point in time, one of the easiest ways to assure a high level of Internet service is to connect devices close to the backbone. The location of the device relative to the backbone avoids a portion of the additional hops and constrained bandwidth at the edges of the network. The excess bandwidth in the backbone of the
Internet 16 today, a result of overbuilding fiber in the core, can generally support the QoS requirements for cellular traffic. However, as users demand services in remote locations, more hops are typically required to provide services in those locations and QoS deteriorates. Similarly, when extraordinary traffic is experienced in the core network, even the current excess bandwidth may not provide adequate resources to efficiently meet demand. - Various protocols can be used to provide efficiency and bandwidth optimization. Exemplary protocols include TCP, UDP and RTP, as well as end-to-end application level QoS protocols implemented on top of these protocols.
- In some embodiments, existing devices on the
public Internet 16 can be used to rout the calls from themobile unit 12 to the public switchedtelephone network 22 using the public Internet for backhaul without requiring the deployment of new routers or other hardware in the network. This enables use of the Internet for backhaul on a much more rapid timescale. It is believed that such an implementation will result in significant cost savings for wireless carriers today. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , an exemplary routing of a call over theInternet 36 is shown. In this example, base stations located in Texas 32 andCambridge 34, connected via thepublic Internet 36 tomobile switching center 38 in Vancouver. Table 1 shows the number of hops between thebase station 34 located in Cambridge and theswitch 38 in Vancouver, and Table 2 shows the hops between the base station 32 located in Texas and theswitch 38 in Vancouver. -

It is noted that the number and contribution of the hops towards the edge of the network comprise a significant portion of the delay. Therefore, it is believed that with a connection closer to the Internet backbone or other public network of a data network service provider, there may be enough excess bandwidth to consistently meet the cellular backhaul QoS requirements with no QoS protocols or lightweight QoS protocols.

The voice is transmitted using the RTP protocol, and there is potential backhaul bandwidth savings through the use of RTP header compression. This use of IP and other standard Internet protocols provides a smooth path to transitioning to Internet-based backhaul. It is noted that placing the base station near the Internet reduces the number of hops. The impact on number of hops and total latency of transmission is significant. Placing the base station near the Internet backbone (thereby reducing the number of hops) can reduce the latency and ensure a higher level of QoS for voice transmission.
- While the
Internet 36 typically provides excess bandwidth capable of providing adequate QoS, additional routing procedures and features may be used to provide the adequate QoS during loaded or crisis situations. - As described above, the use of multiple hops between the base station and the base station controller can increase the signal latency. For example, a typical Internet connection goes through several hops and bandwidth constrained links at the edge of the network. These edge routers and links are a major contributor to the overall bandwidth and latency of the connection. ISP's may choose to charge a higher fee to connect close to the backbone, but it is likely that this fee will still be much lower than T1 costs today which can range from $400-$2,000 per month, depending upon location and distance.
- In order to test the operability of replacing T1 lines with a communication path utilizing the Internet, various testing has been completed. A typical connection between a base station and base station controller using existing T1 lines can be used to measure the baseline bandwidth, latency and jitter for comparison purposes. The traffic load was generated by standard GSM mobiles, wirelessly connected to the software radio base station. The T1 connections were replaced with public Internet connections (e.g., as shown in
FIG. 1A ). The effective bandwidth latency and jitter were measured using similar load conditions as the baseline experiment. - Due to the unpredictable variation in use of the public Internet, various types of application level QoS and failure recovery are desirable, although service without QoS mechanisms is also possible. In many real-time systems, TCP-style re-transmission is not appropriate, since the data will be too old by the time it is re-transmitted. Other approaches involve embedding error correction into the data stream so that lost packets can be reconstructed, or rules for dropping or repeating packets in the event of a loss. The most important parameter is keeping the call alive. In cellular systems, callers are accustomed to occasional drop outs or degradation in voice quality, but a dropped call is a significant problem. The recovery mechanism must insure that the mobile unit does not determine that the call has been dropped and terminate the connection.
- As described above, various QoS mechanisms can be used to ensure the latency and quality of the signal transmitted from the
mobile unit 12 to the public switchedtelephone network 22 over theInternet 16. Since theInternet 16 is a shared network it can be beneficial to use various techniques to ensure that the QoS is maintained such that there is not an interruption in the voice service for the customer. - In some embodiments, admission control can be used in data networks to insure a smooth flow of call data during times of extreme load in the network. In this case, the system would be making a quality/capacity tradeoff, supporting fewer voice calls but maintaining minimum quality standards.
- Referring to
FIG. 3 , asystem 70 includes multiplemobile units mobile units - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a process for insuring a QoS for a call during times of extreme load in the network is shown. The base station monitors and determines 82 an available bandwidth of the shared network. For example, the base station can ping another device on the network and monitor the response time for the ping packet. While using a ping packet does not provide a precise measurement of bandwidth, it can be used as a metric to determine if there is enough bandwidth available to ensure a particular level of quality for a voice call routed over the network. Based on the measured bandwidth, the base station determines 88 if there is enough bandwidth to support the voice call. If there is enough bandwidth, then thebase station routs 90 the call through the base station over the Internet to the base station controller. If there is not enough bandwidth, then the base station blocks 86 the call such that the call is not routed over the Internet to the base station controller. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , asystem 100 including multiplemobile units base station 118 is shown. In operation, themobile units base station 118 to a base station controller. Themobile units mobile units voice data mobile unit 104 is shown transmittingdata 112. In general, the latency required for voice transmissions to ensure a desired quality level is lower than the latency required for a data transmission. Due to the variability of the bandwidth available on the shared network, thebase station 118 can shift the transmission time for some transmissions in order to account for the bandwidth of the network. For example, if the network is at or near capacity, thebase station 118 can delay the transmission of the data transmissions by a predetermined time, e.g., about 1 to 3 seconds. The shifting of the transmission time for data transmissions based on the available bandwidth allows users to more effectively use the bandwidth available on the shared network. - In some embodiments, the shared network can include a guaranteed bandwidth for a particular user. For example, if the network supports dedication of bandwidth, the base station can be allocated a sufficient bandwidth to ensure a particular level of quality for the transmission of calls.
- In some embodiments, the system can include a jitter buffer at one or both ends of the backhaul link to compensate for jitter in the shared network. In general, signal processing systems include some jitter which is a random variation in the time required to complete any particular task. At the lowest levels of the system, the jitter is due to hardware effects, such as the relative time at which two chips request access to a shared bus. At higher levels, the jitter comes from variable and unpredictable network performance. The jitter buffers can ensure that the system will continue to process signals and present them to the system users in accordance with the relevant communications protocol even when significant jitter exists in the network.
- In some embodiments, the use of software based radios can allow the functionality of the base station and the base station controller to be allocated as desired. For example, in a cellular link, the encryption/decryption of the data can be moved to the back end (e.g., the base station controller) side of the link. In addition, other functionality typically executed in the base station controller (e.g., power control) can be moved to the front end (e.g., the base station) of the link.
- One exemplary re-distribution of functionality between the base station and the base station controller is shown in
FIG. 6 . Asystem 130 includes multiplemobile units base station 136, and abase station controller 140. During typical operation, certain switching operations occur at the base station controller. Therefore, if amobile unit 132 desired to callmobile unit 134, the transmission would travel frommobile unit 132 to thebase station 136 and acrossnetwork 138 to thebase station controller 140. This transmission can introduce latency in the transmission. In addition, the transmission will require a portion of the bandwidth ofnetwork 138. In a software based system, some of the switching functionality can be moved from thebase station controller 140 to thebase station 136. For example, thebase station 136 can determine if a call is being routed to a callee on the same base station and if so then the call can be routed at the base station. Routing such calls locally at the base station reduces the backhaul bandwidth because the call never transversesnetwork 138. - While in some of the embodiments described above, a QoS mechanism is used, other embodiments exist in which a QoS mechanism is not implemented.
- There has been described novel apparatus and techniques for reducing the cost of cellular backhaul. It is evident that those skilled in the art may now make numerous modifications and uses of and departures from specific apparatus and techniques herein disclosed without departing from the inventive concepts. Consequently, the invention is to be construed as embracing each and every novel feature and novel combination of features present in or possessed by the apparatus and techniques herein disclosed and limited solely by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
