Executive Summary
Nokia AirFrame
Data Center
Solution
Centralized and
distributed capabilities for
the telco cloud
Distribution of cloud-based
resources is actually critical to
deliver the services of the future
that. Extremely low latency and
local processing capabilities of
exceptionally high data rates
centered in hotspot locations
will be vital. These are just a few
characteristics that are specific
to the telco environment and
are not given the same priority
in traditional IT-based cloud
environments.
Future connectivity
Operators need solutions that address their current
requirements but also future-proof them for the services of
the future. In terms of future mobile connectivity, existing
mobile technologies will not provide the capabilities needed
to meet the demands of a high performance 5G environment
that will support a gigabit experience with virtually zero
latency. The 5G networks of tomorrow will support a multitude
of applications and different use cases that include people,
things and machines.
5G networks will need to be scalable, having the ability to
be tailored to extremely diverse use cases in order to meet
specific performance requirements, and in some cases in
specific areas. This will further drive the evolution of network
architectures towards the cloud but will also define a need
for the cloud environment to become distributed as well as
centralized in order to cope with the future demands outlined
above.
Nokia has already identified a key distributed cloud-based
capability that will be necessary for 5G and future connectivity:
Cloud Radio Access Networks (RAN). One of its key aspects
is the coordination of the different layers of baseband
processing capacity that has already been identified as part of
the 5G target network architecture. A number of base station
Radio Frequency (RF) modules or radio heads operating with
different frequency bands and technologies will be deployed
close to the traffic demand, connected to multiple layers of
distributed and centralized baseband processing capacity that
is orchestrated automatically to support all kinds of traffic
peaks wherever they happen.
