Summary
Small Cell Drivers
Future Networks supporting the Mobile Internet will need to seamlessly
integrate a lot more smaller cells
Shifting from 10
4
cells to 10
6
cells will require a change of mindset and
management automation
Key decisions that need to be considered:
Whether to use unlicensed, licensed technology or both?
Unlicensed already being deployed for BYO offload
Unlicensed suited to very high density deployments
Licensed already delivering integrated mobility
Licensed enables control over spectrum/interference
Small Cell TCO driven by real-estate, power and backhaul

Recognized Evolution of SP Wi-Fi Capabilities
Yesterday
Web Authentication, no
over the air security,
open to simple MAC-
spoofing attacks
MPC/EPC integration
requires I-WLAN IPSec
overlay
Charging records can
be repudiated

Tomorrow
HS2.0 deployments
MSAP based service
discovery
Heterogeneous Network
selection and load
balancing
Seamless WiFi/Cellular
mobility

Today
802.1X/EAP based
authentication and over
the air encryption
Clientless MPC/EPC
integration with
seamless access to
operators network
Wi-Fi Security moving
centre stage for Service
Providers

Now, it may be considered by operators that the security strength
and ease of use of Wi-Fi is as acceptable as 3G/LTE. For
example, the operator controlled hotspot with 802.11i could be
treated as the trusted Non-3GPP Access.

Service Provider Wi-Fi Evolution
Over the last 12 years, Cisco has been defining and delivering Wi-Fi solutions
for our Service Provider Customers
Now, more than ever, the industry accepts that traffic and signaling need to be
offloaded from the macro RAN network
Ciscos goal is to enable a 4G like experience over Wi-Fi radio bearers
Over the last 3 years, Cisco has been developing an architecture based on
3GPP standards to enable the integration of a small cell SP Wi-Fi solution into
scalable, converged policy and charging infrastructure
A unified architecture that is applicable both to MNO and non-MNO operators
alike
Able to support legacy web-based traffic, but future-proof to support the latest
use cases in terms of automated EAP based authentication and LTE seamless
mobility

Recognized Evolution of Small Cell Licensed Radio
Moving out of the Home
Today
Small Cell Licensed Radio solutions
focused on the residential market
Home Node B primarily addresses
poor in-home coverage
Effective churn reduction tool
Cost reduction opportunities as traffic
gets offloaded from the macro network

Tomorrow
Small Cell solutions move out of the
residential market
Enterprise use cases drive new
requirements in terms of power,
number of users, mobility and
services
Transition outdoors as macro-small
cell co-existence capabilities gets
deployed
Release one [launched February 2013] is aimed at residential
small cells. Release two is geared towards rapidly driving
Enterprise small cell deployments within non-residential business
environments.

Summary
Integrating Licensed and Un-licensed Systems
55
The future growth in Mobile Internet consumption necessitates a shift to small
cell systems
Cisco is executing on a converged architecture that is able to leverage licensed
cellular and un-licensed Wi-Fi small cell access points
Service Provider Wi-Fi targets delivering a 4G experience using 802.11
Small Licensed Radio System targets delivering cellular coverage and capacity
to indoor locations
Converged Access Points and Converged Gateways enable operators to lead
with venue centric Wi-Fi propositions and then leverage the same gateway,
real-estate, power and backhaul for licensed radio coverage and capacity
The orders of magnitude involved mandate a fundamental shift in tools,
including self organizing and optimizing capabilities
Ciscos Quantum RAN Optimization leads the way in cellular SON delivering a
set of tools necessary to accelerate the adoption of small cells
