Basics: GPP vs SPP
©3G4G
• A general purpose processor (GPP) is
generally called a Central Processing
Unit (CPU). It performs all of the
general work of the computer.
• Intel x86, ARM, MIPS, SPARC, RISC-V
are examples of GPP
• True hardware / software
disaggregation possible
• The main advantage of GPP is that:
• Due to large volumes, economy
of scale is achievable
• Costs are lower in high volumes
• Faster pace of innovation due to
software-driven development.
• A single purpose processor (SPP) has
a limited number of functions and
would be optimized for a specific
area.
• An example might be a MAC
processor from DSP, you might built
and FPGA or ASIC using several of
these to create a digital filter for
some specific application.
• It would run much faster than
running the same algorithm on a
general CPU, probably would use a
lot less power.
Open RAN: Enabling White Box RAN
©3G4G
• Whitebox RAN = All-in-one GPP based base station
• But you can have a Whitebox RRU + COTS BBU

So why is Open RAN so interesting?
©3G4G
• Lets take an example scenario of an operator (MNO) or service
provider (SP)
Core
A A AV1 V1 V1
So why is Open RAN so interesting?
©3G4G
• When the MNO / SP is looking to expand the network, they may decide
to introduce vendor V2
Core
A A AV1 V1 V1 AV2 AV2
So why is Open RAN so interesting?
©3G4G
• If the hardware from ODM / OEM vendor A is not performing well, the
MNO / SP may start replacing the RAN while keeping same software
vendor

  • 9. Open RAN Vision ©3G4G GPP based COTS Hardware (SDR) Can be purchased from any ODM / OEM / RAN Hardware Vendor COTS Server + Proprietary Software With Virtualized Functions Open Interface Any vendor software can work on this hardware
  • 10. Basics: GPP vs SPP ©3G4G • A general purpose processor (GPP) is generally called a Central Processing Unit (CPU). It performs all of the general work of the computer. • Intel x86, ARM, MIPS, SPARC, RISC-V are examples of GPP • True hardware / software disaggregation possible • The main advantage of GPP is that: • Due to large volumes, economy of scale is achievable • Costs are lower in high volumes • Faster pace of innovation due to software-driven development. • A single purpose processor (SPP) has a limited number of functions and would be optimized for a specific area. • An example might be a MAC processor from DSP, you might built and FPGA or ASIC using several of these to create a digital filter for some specific application. • It would run much faster than running the same algorithm on a general CPU, probably would use a lot less power.
  • 11. Open RAN: Enabling White Box RAN ©3G4G • Whitebox RAN = All-in-one GPP based base station • But you can have a Whitebox RRU + COTS BBU Picture shows Facebook’s OpenCellular: An open source wireless access platform
  • 12. Will OpenRAN work in practice? ©3G4G

  • 20. Traditional RAN vs Open RAN ©3G4G Source: Radisys
  • 21. So why is Open RAN so interesting? ©3G4G • Lets take an example scenario of an operator (MNO) or service provider (SP) Core A A AV1 V1 V1
  • 22. So why is Open RAN so interesting? ©3G4G • When the MNO / SP is looking to expand the network, they may decide to introduce vendor V2 Core A A AV1 V1 V1 AV2 AV2
  • 23. So why is Open RAN so interesting? ©3G4G • If the hardware from ODM / OEM vendor A is not performing well, the MNO / SP may start replacing the RAN while keeping same software vendor Core V1 V1 V1 V2 V2 CC C BB
