 Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP)
A key concept in 5G
• Different LTE-Advanced Scenarios

• Intra-site CoMP

• Inter-site CoMP – new transport requirements

• Different LTE-Advanced CoMP techniques

• Joint Processing: eNBs simultaneously Tx or Tx to same UE

• Coordinated scheduling/beamforming UE Tx/Rx to a single eNB

at any instant

Segment Routing

• Applications finally control the network in a scalable way

• State is pushed at the source, not in the infrastructure
• End-to-end policy-aware network architecture from servers in the DC, through Metro and WAN

• Centralized and distributed intelligence

• SR has been designed for SDN, operational simplicity, better scale and better
utilization of the installed infrastructure
• SR spans Large Scale Data Center, SP and Enterprise markets
• Significant deployments across all these markets
• IP architecture for the next 5/10 years

 Topology Independent LFA (TI-LFA)
• SR allows to guarantee LFA in any Backbone
topology
• even asymetric C1 C2

• SR lifts the need for directed LDP

sessions to the P node
E1 E4
• RLFA
1000
• For symetric networks E2 E3
• No extra computation
Node segment Adj segment
• Simple repair stack to Q node
to P node
• Node segment to P node
• Adjacency segment from P to Q
Default metric: 10

Binding-SID – Stitching
• Baseline SR forwarding for traffic between Node1 to Node 10 requires a stack of 8 labels
• If Node1 is not capable of pushing 8 labels, label stack can be “compressed ” by stitching SRTE
