Connecting Base Stations over Metro Gigabit Ethernets

چکیده
Emerging high-speed metropolitan Ethernets create new opportunities to save costs when converging data and telephony services. However, connecting GSM and UMTS base stations over metropolitan Ethernets require these networks to meet stringent QoS requirements in the presence of bursty data traffic. To investigate this problem, we have probed ETH’s campus network, which spans the metropolitan area of Zurich, for several weeks. From our results, we infer that lightly-loaded metropolitan Gigabit Ethernets with average utilizations below 1% presumably have a potential to carry traffic from GSM/UMTS base stations.

Synchronizing Circuit Emulation Adapters to Connect Umts/gsm Base Stations over Metropolitan Gigabit Ethernets
Connecting UMTS/GSM base stations over Metropolitan Gigabit Ethernets has a great potential of cost savings. However, packetizing base stations’ signals to emulate telephone circuits over Gigabit Ethernets additionally requires synchronization between the sending and receiving circuit emulation adapter. In this paper, we present and evaluate open source implementations of synchronization algori...
