Comparison of MPLS- and IP-Based Transport in Future RANs Under Varying QoS Requirements
Overview The paper provides a proposal for an MPLS-based transport network for future Radio Access Networks (RANs) and compares this with a regular IP-based transport network. The MPLS-based approach takes into account the specific needs of current and future RANs especially with respect to QoS requirements and flexibility. The paper compares the MPLS-based solution with a regular IP-based network. The simulation studies based on an extension of the network simulator 2 shows that MPLS is able to fulfill the requirements of future RANs and vastly outperforms a regular IP-based solution. MPLS is able to deliver very stable figures for delay, jitter and packet loss even if the traffic mix within the network changes, which is not the case for an IP-based radio access network.
