5G transport – capacity and latency requirements

• 5G requires more capacity and tolerates less buffering. It requires:


• Ultra-low latency
• Ultra-high throughput
• Introduces tremendous pressure on the optical access and transport network

Impact on the transport network
Mobile transport:
for 5G and IoT
Bandwidth Enterprise digital

• Current transport network is based on: demand: transformation:


4K/8K video, DC and cloud
AR/VR and more services

• C-band optical network – 96 channels - @ 100G / 200G wavelength

• Total capacity per fiber at most 19.2Tb/s

• Band width forecast is multiple times over the current level


• Typical 5G session operates at about 300Mb/s

• A typical tower with three sectors accommodates about 300 users

• Complete C-band can accommodate only 200 towers…

• There is a need to multiply capacity per fiber by 5x to 10x

• Modulation rate increase reduces the signal’s tolerance to noise


• Tighter constellation increases OSNR sensitivity and reduces distance

• Increasing the modulation rate, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM by itself will increase vs.
capacity but reduces distance

• Simply put: We are hitting a wall…


16QAM 64QAM

Network traffic is growing
Example: Total amplified
bandwidth per node
• Network traffic doubling every 2–3 years

• Improvements in spectral efficiency are 40THz


saturated for a given reach
30% CAGR
• Total amplified bandwidth must grow at
same rate as traffic 5THz

Accommodating growth is a key driver for ROADM evolution

What “Network” Do “Cloud” Need?

Requirement of “Cloud” How does “network” match


• Cloud DC needs cloud native • Dynamic and reconfigurable with OTN and
network. ROADM to handling increasing E-W traffic.
• Edge computing for lower latency • Scalability with meshed network for shorter
service. route and lower-latency node.

Proposed solutions

• Options to increase capacity over a pair of fibers

• Increase in modulation rate

• Increase in baud rate per wavelength

• Reduction of induced noise through the use of Raman amplification

• Extension into neighboring bands – L-band and S-band

Increase in Baud Rate and using FlexGrid

• Another solution component is to increase the baud rate

• Allows a bit rate increase at a constant carrier rate


• Example: Use DP-QPSK but use it to carry 200Gb/s as opposed to 100Gb/s

• Following this approach widens the signal width


50Ghz = 100Gb/s 75Ghz = 200Gb/s
• But the overall capacity per Ghz of spectrum is larger – Net benefit
96 channels 64 channels
• 64 channels x 200Gb/s > 96 channels x 100Gb/s Comparable distance

• As we vary the baud rate, wavelengths now have different spectral width – 50Ghz, 75Ghz, etc…
• This is where FlexGrid on the ROADM really becomes useful

• As transponders support variable baud rates, ROADMs needs to support channels with varying spectral width

• These ROADM and transponder features are interdependent

Noise reduction… Raman amplification

• The third approach is to reduce the noise induced by the amplifiers


• Reachability is limited by amplifier noise - OSNR

• Reducing noise increases the reachable distance

• The use of Raman amplification will gain mainstream adoption to reduce noise
• Technology primarily used in Ultra Long Haul technology C. V. Raman

• Reluctance to use it due to high energy beam risk as well as complexity


Noise

• Raman amplification, typically 10dB, is virtually noise free Raman


Gain
• It lowers the noise induced by the ROADM amplifier ROADM
Amp. Gain

• Overall increase in reach before being noise limited


No Raman Raman

Extension into other bands – L-band and S-band

• The other approach is to increase the number of


channels per fiber
• Most of the world has used the C-band for the last 25 years

• Once the C-band is exhausted, a network operator can use


both the C-band and the L-band on the same fiber
• L-band provides another 80 to 90 channels

• This represents an additional 16Tb/s (200G) to 32Tb/s (400G)

• ROADM and transponder equipment already exists for L-band

• There is also the S-band which is a possibility


• No ROADM or lasers exist for this band

• One possible approach is to use C-band equipment and “shift” the band

• Balance of capacity, reach, performance, power consumption
• Flex-grid / Gridless ROADM is required

New spectrum:
• Key concern: non-linearity and maturity of supply chain
(cost)
Optical networking • C (4THz)  Super C (6THz)  Super (C+L) (>10THz)
2.0
New site:
• Size, power, reconfigurable, simplified NE (CDCG)
• Fibering: manual / fiber shuffle  Optical backplane
• Integration for high density: Free space optics and NxM WSS
New spectrum New site

NG-ROADM: More dynamic, less link penalty, easy to scale and operate, cloud ready to cloud edge.
Service oriented and INTEGRATION is the key.

Application – capacity scalability

1. Start with a C-band network operating at 100G and 200G using 50Ghz grid

2. Increase the capacity per wavelength using higher baud rate and FlexGrid

3. Further increase the modulation rate to 64QAM and add Raman amplification to reduce noise
induced by amplifiers

4. At exhaust, use L-band to “open” a new set of 88 channels

Note: These steps can be performed in any order…
