Architectural Considerations for Backhaul of 2G/3G and LTE Networks pdf
(http://m2vtelecom.blogspot.com/2010/09/architectural-considerations-for.html)
This white paper will initially discuss the migration trends that Cisco sees in Europe in relation to the transport (http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Transportation)
options for second-generation (2G) and third-generation (http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/3G) (3G) traffic. A more detailed analysis will then examine the options available for transporting Global System for Mobile Communications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM) (GSM)/2G (time-division multiplexing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-division_multiplexing) [TDM] based) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System))/3G traffic (ATM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode) and Ethernet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet) based) over a converged packet network. Finally, a detailed description will discuss the LTE evolution and the feature requirements it makes on the underlying transport network. A conclusion summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of different transport options (Layer 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Link_Layer) VPN and Layer 3 VPN) under consideration today.
