Private / Community Wind Turbine Cellular
(Part 2)
The Solution and Architecture
Architecturally pure 5G Standalone
(SA) technology is preferred for the extra functionality and performance using
5G core network, and all upgradable to 6G when available. SA importantly
enables enhanced security plus network slicing to allow different QoS for
specific groups or use cases plus support of ORAN, VRAN and IoT technologies
The neutral
host architecture along with network slicing allows flexibility for service
from different service providers for some specific users, or groups. Hosts
might be for example:
·
Energy
Company
·
Mobile
Network Operator (MNO)
·
Cable
company
·
Building
/ campus
·
City
/ local authority
·
Other
(third party neutral host provider as example)
The neutral
host system operates well with network slicing to give the very best
performance for the private users. Each user has all key information stored in
the host database so when they register on the system they go through the
security process and the user profile is loaded. This
includes phone number for use making and receiving
voice calls and text messages along with associated billing information, which
can be real time for prepaid users. The user profile importantly defines where
they can access the system (single or multiple locations) and the individual or
group priorities for different services along with associated QoS. So emergency services have high priority over business users
and maybe further lower residential. As another use case real time gaming is
much better with lower latency/delay but in congestion times such as an
emergency this not as important as voice calls so the
available capacity for such services are
deprioritized. Depending on the user profile they might allow roaming from the
private network onto one or more of the public networks, such as when out of
the local coverage area. Incoming roaming for public users is not allowed to
maintain the available resources for the local private users
The system
is powered by batteries using power generated by the wind turbine but also can
be accompanied by an associated solar array. These are quite complimentary as
mostly not really correlated inputs and give a more consistent energy supply.
Energy can be prioritized for cellular service but then also made available for
specific local priority users. Some companies have specific power outlets
defined that work off backup power, usually a generator, so this could be an
enhancement to cover all emergency lighting and mission critical or other very
important functions
The radio
unit can be connected to a microwave radio of any applicable band that
communicates with another base station site or directly to the core network.
The microwave antenna is located on, or near the wind turbine’s tower below the
lowest extent of turbine blades so they do not interfere with the communication
between it and the next site when rotating. Alternatively, the system may
communicate with the core network via physical instead of a microwave
connection. For example it may include a controller
that communicates over a fiber optic or wired connection, or a combination,
and/or even satellite. Several sites can be interconnected to cover a wider
area of a city or campus transparently
Applications
Such
systems can be used for a wide range of applications for green localized
reliable cellular improved coverage, capacity and service. As examples (and
several might even be spread out over quite diverse locations):
·
Local,
regional or even national government
·
Law
enforcement
·
Emergency
services and first responders
·
Enterprises,
individually or business parks
·
Ports
·
Military
·
Schools,
colleges and all education
·
Local
communities
·
Temporary
solutions, disaster recovery, concerts
Multiple
systems can be interconnected and thus shared by all the same private network users, these locations can be quite diverse and distributed.
All locations can also have associated in-building facilities for much improved
indoor services. In all cases the users can be limited to specific departments,
groups or branches, or even down to individual users. And each group can have
different quality of service (QoS) and prioritization. As an example, for an
education facility teachers could all have priority over students on the same
network
Summary
Much
improved customer experience with seamless service and no dependence on
limitations on existing cellular and power services, especially when in high
demand such as emergencies
Private
network with multi-technology capability so can be used for 4G, 5G and 6G, and
combinations. Can operate in any frequency bands, licensed / leased mid band
preferred for best coverage but CBRS band as lower cost and any can be
supplemented with unlicensed bands using Carrier Aggregation (CA). All using
neutral host architecture with 5G Standalone (SA) and network slicing plus
ORAN, VRAN and IoT compatible
Can be used
both inland and offshore, individual sites or in groups with high reliability,
low maintenance and very stable power from local batteries charged by the wind
turbine along with optional solar that can also be made available or
prioritized for local enterprises / users
Flexible
connectivity with other nearby and remotes sites and core network via fiber,
cable, microwave or even satellite. As an alternative with 5G Integrated Access
and Backhaul (IAB) can be used so one of the cellular frequency bands can be
both used for access (customer use) and backhaul to adjacent site. And totally
transparent and complementary to wind turbine role of generating clean energy
Ultimate
green cellular mobile coverage solution for secure, reliable private or
community networks to cover a wide variety of locations and applications even
under the most extreme conditions and situations
A typical
suburban site with solar power as complement covering residential areas but
also maybe small businesses, schools, law enforcement
