LTE aims to offer a minimum of 100/50 Mbps DL/UL (Downlink/Uplink, 1 sector, 20MHz spectrum) and up to 1 Gbps DL (3 sectors, DL/UL of 300/150 Mbps per sector) per LTE Base Station (eNB) [1]. [...]there is a need in terms of very high link utilization (<<100 percent) to support the improvement of customer services such as multimedia distribution, e-Commerce, and cloud computing or gaming systems as a part of future converged Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) [2]. Yi Shi et al [6] introduced a novel wireless backhaul framework for small cell networks by introducing a new backhauling component, which is referred to as Type-A relay in order to capable of communicating simultaneously with two macrocells by leveraging the downlink resource of one cell as well as the uplink resource of the other, which effectively operates in full-duplex mode without incurring additional costs to acquire carrier resources. According to the ITU-T standard, the G 803.2, on Ethernet ring protection switching, the standard recovery time is less than 50ms. From Figure 8 to Figure 12, it can be seen that the value of throughput, loss ratio, and jitter on the ring protection network between Ethernet over SDH and MPLS-TP indicated that MPLS-TP has better performance compare to Ethernet over SDH. [...]it can be concluded that the protection ring network is able to maintain network performance even though the main ring network is currently unavailable. 5.Conclusion Analyzing the results, we see that throughput values of MPLS-TP with ring protection reached 100% (240 Mbps), and throughput values of Ethernet over SDH with ring protection varying around 93% (224.92 Mbps - 225.2 Mbps).
