Agenda/Outline § The Pandemic-induced “new normal” National Broadband Network ≜ nbn existing • à New Broadband Normal ≜ NBN future • § Spectrum and Space (Wireless Dimensionality) and “CSL” § Convergence and channelization § Ergodic Spectrum Management (AI-based QoE management) 2 !

NBN Data Traffic Downlink Minimum increase (NA Operator) daily averaged Range: 30-50% increase Uplink daily Maximum increase (EU Operator) averaged Range: 50-100% increase 3 !

Drivers to New (broadband) Normal of increased use? § Large number of employees working from home Trend is highest among professionals • More uplink traffic (speakers and video) • § Employees downloading/uploading more work files § Students viewing on-line lessons Stanford Spring Quarter 2020, 6,000 student survey • 4/5 said productivity reduced by online somewhat • 1/6 said the issue was poor broadband connection • § Entertainment (those with more time suddenly and no where to go) § Telemedicine § Tele court system … 4 !

NBN Telework Acceleration more teleworkers in residential access will pay more for higher-grade solution qz.com Reeves and Rothwell (2020) Telework 6 % à 50+ % in pandemic Telework & ability-to-pay strongly correlated NBN: Remain 30+ % after pandemic 5 !

Some Australian data rates 6 !

Not to mention the usual internet-traffic drivers More applications, more traffic, more devices 7 !

nbn –2019 Annual Report 2018 – DT CEO T. Hoettges estimates 300-500B Euros to deploy 5G within EU § FTTP and 5G fixed are most expensive Report of Australia’s Broadband Futures Project 2020 Others all use copper • § Existing nodes/cabinets already have fiber cost is much less (obviously) • 8 !

5G MU-MIMO migration (cost paths) Cellular Subscriber Lines (CSL) 𝑠 #$% very small (copper) 5G Massive MIMO ; radius 𝑠 !" → small (more fiber) Source: E Bjornson, Linkoping U fiber fiber Center is connected to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Each of these smaller “cells” is at end of copper in a building higher-power antenna arrays lower power, smaller antennas difficult arc/beam carving (co-linear interference issues) needs fiber to each antenna array (expensive for smaller cells / mmW) inside home or business copper link IF is part of the small-cell link Massive MEC (& cloud) à more efficient space & spectrum 11 !

CSL: 10x more data for 10% of the cost and 1% of the power % $ !"# § User advantage is 𝑂 !"#$ ∝ $ $% If 𝑠 #$ = 200𝑛 and 𝑠 %&' = 20𝑛 , Then 𝑂 ()*+ → 100× • Requires good cloud/edge management • , + !"# Path loss is less: loss ∝ where 𝛽 = 4 (maybe even 5), considering in-home. • + $% Despite 100x as many antennas, total driver power is significantly less • Cheaper antennas • Better spatial resolution • § Much higher use of available resources § It costs significantly less and provides a higher performance level And NBN can use the nbn node architecture already built • § CSL = “Massive Distributed Antenna System” – many more cheap antennas § Mobile spectrum outdoors, with longer distances, still also also available With appropriate adaptive spectrum management • 12 !
