  1. Emerging Trends in NGN –Railways not to miss ICT Bus SATYA N. GUPTA Chief Regulatory Advisor, BTGS,SAARC and India IRSE Seminar, New Delhi (Jan. 8th,2010)

  2. AGENDA • Emerging Technological Developments – Dominance of Wireless and IP. • Next Generation Network (NGN) Ecosystem. • Mega Technology Trends. • Broadband Converged Network –NG BCN. • Opportunity for Indian Railways.

  3. Starting Quotes “ Solid state LED technology will make the light bulb a thing of the past. Voice Over Internet Protocol will spell a revolution in Telephony. Even more powerful microchips and ever faster chip-to-chip interfaces will allow for new applications in anything from systems management to cinema -quality computer games.” - Joshua Livestro in techcentralstation.com “The future of lighting --OLED--” “The future of telephony --VOIP--” “The future of networks --NGN--”

  4. Technology Development Trends • Increased speed and density of Integrated Circuits (Moores Law). • Enhanced Transmission capacities on Optic Fiber Networks and Flexibility (Gilders Law). • Distributed and Open Platform-based Communication Software (APIs). • Capacity Growth and innovative Application Services on Wireless. (Coopers Law) • Emergence of Next-Generation Networks (IP-based) offering QOS for real-time services. • Ubiquity of networks through RFID & IPv6 (Next Generation Internet).

  5. 1.Evolution of VOIP(Voice Over Internet Protocol) • IP-based Networks are establishing themselves. However, Circuit-Switching based Networks still delivering the goods. • Packet Networks gone beyond ‘Best-Effort’ tag and countered the limitation of security and reliability. • Cost advantage and transmission efficiency of VOIP leading to ‘Death of Distance’. • Media Gateway (Soft-Switches) enabling co-existence of circuit-switched networks and packet-switched networks in a seamless manner.

  10. ii) Cable TV Networks for Broadband access • Broadband over cable TV accounts for 74% of total connections in US, and 55% in Canada • 55 million cable homes in India, but infrastructure can not support bi-directional communication and requires upgrade • Regulatory environment, via an ISP license, allows this with some MSO’s and operators already doing so • For advances to occur, better organization of the industry needed to be executed • Cable operators will need to adopt innovative business models to compete in converged environment • Possible to provide upgraded entertainment services such as interactive digital TV, pay-per-view, video on demand and time-shifted TV • Benefits operators with significantly higher ARPU and better customer retention • To start with Cable TV network which is uni-directional can be used for downloading, the uplink to be conventional narrow band like dialup/ ISDN/ RADIO • Operators need training to create awareness about utility of their networks and understanding of the investments required, returns possible, and technical aspects

  11. iii) Fibre Optic Cable Technologies • Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) – by existing operators • Fiber To The Home (FTTH) – Fibre in last mile to deliver converged services • Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) – by Cable TV operators • Metro Ethernet (Fibre based) – extending the range of LAN • GPON (Gigabit - Passive Optical Network) – triple play over TDM • (No limitation of distance or throughput speeds) • iv) Broadband over Powerline (BPL) Technologies • Use of existing domestic power connections for sending data • Throughput in the range of 1 MHz (4 – 6 Mbps) • Ideal for rural areas where telecom / cable TV infrastructure may not be there • v) Metro Ethernet Networks • –Use of Ethernet beyond LAN • –Use of high-speed access using hybrid fiber/ copper based Ethernet technology • –Power over Ethernet (POE)

  12. 4.Mobile TechnologiesTrends • GPRS,EDGE,802.11(WLAN,Wi-Fi), 802.16(Wimax),PTT,Bluetooth,UWB, 3G- Already Available. • B3G, 802.16e (Mobile WiMAX), OFDMA, 802.16m, 802.20 (WWAN,MBWA), All-IP cellular networks- Emerging out. • Human Area Network (HAN) associated with body/ clothing-Becoming a possibility. • Fixed Mobile Convergence(FMC) leading to inter-operability of handsets for any type of access – Quad Mode Multi Band handsets. (WiFi, Wimax, GSM, CDMA) • Software Defined Radios (SDR) – Multi-Functional, Multiservice, Multiprotocol, Multiband, Multimode (Universal) Radios. • Cognitive Radio(CR)/ Intelligent Radios

  25. 10.Next Generation Internet (IPv6) • IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol with improvement over the age old initial version IPv4 (since 1981). • It has capacity to expand the available address space on the Internet enormously, using 128 bits vis-à-vis 32 bits of IPv4. • Address limit of IPv4 is of the order of 4 Billions, while that for IPv6 is 3X1039. (3000 Billion Billion Billion Billion).

  26. Major weaknesses of IPv4 • Limited Address Space as addresses are 32 bits (4 bytes) in length. • No identification of packet flow for QoS handling by routers. • Address configuration either manually or through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). • Security and mobility support needs additional efforts.

  27. Advantages of IPv6 •A larger address space and flexible addressing scheme •Efficient and Hierarchical Addressing and Routing with Streamlined header format •Inherent support for secure communications •The ability to allow differentiated services •Better support for mobility •Auto-Configuration capability supporting ‘plug and play’

  28. 11.Spectrum Utilization Trends • Radio Spectrum availability is key to the success of exploitation of new radio technology trends. • Being a limited resource, innovative evolution and management techniques required for optimum utilization. • Usage of Multi-Layer, Hierarchical frequency-reuse based on macro, micro and pico, femto cells, Cell splitting, Synchronous Frequency Hopping, Narrow banding etc. • Use of Adaptive, Intelligent Antenna Array and Scattering. • Enhancing the information carrying capacity of radio spectrum by Multi-level Modulation, Compression, AMR Coding, DTX, DSI ,OFDMA etc. to move towards Shannon’s Limit.

  29. 12.Mega Technology Trends • Core Infrastructure – Robust, Agile, Cheap, Invisible • Network – Packetised, Secure, Reliable, Broadband, Ubiquitous, Service -oriented • Devices – Always-On, Connected, Smart, Converged (IAD) • Application Development – Fast, Open, DIY
