Architecture evolution and bandwidth analysis of 5G bearer networks by Chunhua ZHAO

“…The influence of 5G mobile network architecture evolution on bearer network was demonstrated.A comparison of fiber requirement between 5G front-haul network and fixed broadband access network was proposed.The various bearer schemes in fiber shortage area were introduced.The characteristics of various device networking solution were summarized.The influence on bearer network architecture and bandwidth was analyzed when 5G core network moved down to the metro core DC and metro edge DC.The bandwidth calculation model on mobile metro mid-haul and back-haul network was presented.Bandwidth calculations on each layer of the networks were provided.Calculation results show that compared with 4G network,bandwidth requirements on bearer back-haul network are greatly increased as the bandwidth of the wireless side of the 5G network increases.The growth trend of the metro back-haul and export bandwidth is slowed down with the core network moving down and the deployment of CDN and MEC.…”
