Beginners: Network In a Box (NIB)
4 likes18,626 views
The document discusses the concept of 'Network in a Box' (NIB) and its various implementations such as 'Network in a Bag' and 'Network in a Backpack'. NIB typically includes components like enodeb, EPC, and content server, and is used in scenarios like public safety and private networks. The document also references the 3GPP-defined solution for isolated E-UTRAN operation for public safety (IOPS), which allows communication for public safety users without backhaul infrastructure.

Isolated E-UTRAN operation for public safety (IOPS) ©3G4G • IOPS is a more formalised 3GPP defined solution for NIB. • Defined in detail in 3GPP TS 23.401 Annex K. • The following is from 3GPP Specs “Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety (IOPS) provides the ability to maintain a level of communications for public safety users, via an IOPS-capable eNB (or set of connected IOPS-capable eNBs), following the loss of backhaul communications. The Isolated E-UTRAN mode of operation is also applicable to the formation of a Nomadic EPS deployment, i.e. a deployment of one or more standalone IOPS-capable eNBs, creating a serving radio access network without backhaul communications and also providing local IP connectivity and services to public safety users in the absence of normal EPS infrastructure availability.”
