Mass Deployment Issues For WiMAX
By Dekel Cohen and Oren Barkai / ECI Telecom | August 06, 2009

As WiMAX reaches maturity, operators all over the world are moving field trials into actual deployment, and eventually to full operational availability. In Asia, the Indian government has spearheaded the effort to provide broadband connectivity to rural areas. Several Asian governments are sure to follow in the next few months. The emphasis is now shifting from “wireless-related issues” into “network-related issues.” Since WiMAX technology is, by definition, wireless, how come mass deployment changes the focus from the “inherent” issues of wireless technologies?

The answer is that, once mass deployment kicks in, providing competitive services overrules technological issues. Mass deployment of 802,16d and 802.16e WiMAX networks presents several challenging issues. These issues are particularly relevant to mass deployment, as they did not appear at the proof-of-concept stage.

Let’s look at some of these issues, and how WiMAX addresses them.

Case #1: Backhaul Architecture

The WiMAX standard “assumes” that a backhaul network (ASN – Access Services Network) exists. However, once the base stations are deployed according to RF planning practices, the question of how to connect them to each other emerges.

This is no trivial question as it raises issues of scalability, QoS problems and increased capex.

Deploying a tree topology, which is the cellular 3G best practice, may result in the inability to scale up. This inability is due to the fact that the “Moore’s Law” version of bandwidth (bandwidth will rise to provide more subscribers and more Internet traffic) might push this architecture to a point where nodes will require constant upgrades in connectivity.

One may argue that cellular companies face the same problem, but that is not quite true. In traditional cellular networks, bandwidth is allocated according to usage statistics. A WiMAX base station will just drop the bandwidth (hence the quality-of-experience) to all users once a new user signs in. Another aspect is, of course, the inability to protect the traffic as each node is connected via single connection.

A ring topology addresses the issue of protection, but its scalability might be even worse than that in a tree topology, because the ring is now required to carry several base stations, and upgrades require the full ring’s bandwidth.

This brings us to the problem of over-provisioning vs. QoS mechanisms. This problem dates to the beginning of the decade, and has an inherent effect on capex as well as network architecture. Over-provisioning means you build your network on Day 1 with more than the required resources, while QoS mechanisms require longer network design and better understanding of network management.

Case #2: ASN Technology

Nowadays, there are two basic options for the ASN – Layer 2 or Layer 3.

A Layer 2 network centralizes the routing, making the network more robust, more manageable but less flexible. This means that the network has difficulties “solving” congestions, therefore requiring the operator to be more skilled and more hands-on.

A Layer 3 network is highly flexible and, in small scale, operates quite well and can be easily managed. However, once a Layer 3 network passes a certain number of nodes, network effects such as “Avalanche” (the nodes routing tables are being changed domain after domain due to node failure) and “Flip Flop” (the routing tables change in several domains to collide and then change again several times.) These effects can make the operators’ day-to-day operations very complicated.

Case #3: Subscriber Management

WiMAX technology essentially manages CPE traffic. This is not enough for any operator who strives to be more than a “dumb pipe.” Without clearly understanding traffic patterns and applications (voice, video, HTTP and others,) the provider will face customer dissatisfaction since their application may not receive the proper bandwidth.

With the natural evolution to next-generation networks, WiMAX networks, as any other network, require increased intelligence to cope with the challenging demands imposed by advanced services. Let’s imagine a case where a large number of subscribers wish to download high-bandwidth video at the same time. Today’s network will be most certainly bottlenecked and other subscribers will not be able to enjoy even their “fast Internet” services. Eventually, this inability to provide reliable services will lead to higher churn rates, equivalent to the rates noticed in the 90’s when cellular operators struggled with the “handover effects” (subscribers moving from cell to cell) of loaded sites.

IP networks are currently at the learning curve stage of this problem, using a variety of methods such as DPI (deep packet inspection), smarter network nodes and so on, to minimize the adverse effects to the network and to day-to-day services.

Moving To Maturity

WiMAX networks are now “crossing the chasm” to mass market deployment. To become a massively deployed communications technology, WiMAX networks have to undergo the painful stage of network integration.

Most of the challenges associated with mass deployment can be resolved. That will require operators to rely on vendors’ expertise and experience in this field, and to move at their own pace towards migration. WiMAX networks are currently on their way to becoming a legitimate wireless broadband solution globally.

Dekel Cohen is the WiMAX and Wireless Product Manager and Oren Barkai is the Solutions Team Leader for the integrated solutions line of business at ECI Telecom.

Top 10 things you can do to encourage Immediate Resume Rejection (IRR)

These days, nearly all candidates are being rejected right off the bat. They are rejected because their resume gives the inundated hiring manager sees an excuse to put it into the No or Maybe (=no) pile.

10. No failures. Your resume looks unreal, how did you learn without setbacks?
9. No stories. Challenge, Action, Result. If you don't know what this means, you should not write your own resume.
8. Too generic. If you have been on the market for a while, it is human nature to broaden your target market by looking more suitable for more jobs.
7. Boring. You have taken the personality out of your resume because you lack the confidence to be bold.
6. No metrics. You forgot to mention how much your project saved the company, or how much you sold.
5. Buried Goodies. You put the important stuff on page 2, when the first half of page 1 is where it is at.
4. Bad spelling and formatting. Does this actually need explaining?
3. Bureaucrat. Your tenures are so long and stagnant that you obviously prefer jobs that ought to be done by a vending machine.
2. No vision. Your resume makes you look like you bounce around without looking where you are going.
1. Dead Gaps. Show a contiguous history. If you are currently unemployed, work part-time, for free, for anyone in your industry, even entrepreneurs. Always look busy, never beaten.
