Information Paper



HD voice based on the AMR Wideband technology

HD voice, based on the AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) Wideband
technology (W-AMR) enables high-quality voice calls in mobile
networks and an improved user experience. It provides significantly
higher voice quality for calls between mobile phones supporting the
feature, and can be implemented in GSM and WCDMA (UMTS)
networks. The higher voice quality of HD voice improves the call
experience and allows people to better share feelings, do business
and communicate information. HD voice can help operators to clearly
differentiate their offerings and can enable high quality services to
voice dependent business like call center services, information
services, emergency services etc.

This new information paper outlines the opportunities and benefits of
deploying HD voice, provides an update on network deployment
commitments to and service launch plans, and confirms which user
devices supporting HD voice have been launched.

HSPA Evolution (HSPA+)
- market reality today
- with a strong evolution path

Downlink evolution

 64QAM instead of 16QAM = 50% improvement

 Combining 64QAM and using two carriers (2 x 5 MHz) means
42 Mbps peak DL can be achieved – this is known as DC-HSPA
and is market reality today

42 Mbps can also be achieved by combining 2 x 2 MIMO and
64QAM in a single (5 MHz) carrier
 Uplink evolution
 Using 16QAM instead of QPSK modulation means doubling uplink
 rate up to 11.5 Mbps. Using multicarrier on the uplink doubles the
 peak data rate to 23 Mbps.

 Further evolution of HSPA utilizes combinations
 of and MIMO technologies to reach 84 Mbps peak
 on the downlink, and 23 Mbps peak uplink
 And further evolution beyond that ……..

          Reduced latency with HSPA+ improves the user experience

Dual Carrier –
the first step in evolving EDGE


 Dual Carrier is the first step in evolving EDGE,
 bringing the prospect of doubling today’s EDGE
 speeds to 592 kbps on existing EDGE-capable
 networks. Commercial downlink Dual Carrier
 solutions are expected to be introduced in 2009.

 EGPRS-2 level B+ is standardized in the newly-
 released 3GPP Release 8, providing a wider pulse
 shaping filter to enable higher average end user
 throughput, and therefore better coverage
 compared to level B.

 Commercial solutions for EGPRS-2 level B+ in the
 downlink are expected to be introduced in 2010.

2.6 GHz band



 The 2.50 - 2.69 GHz band is anticipated as the largest new spectrum resource for mobile
 broadband services in the foreseeable future. It is identified by the ITU as the IMT extension
 band and is needed due to traffic growth in 3G/HSPA networks

 It is large enough to allow multiple operators to deploy technologies utilizing wide channels,
 such as the 2 x 20 MHz channels for the highest data speeds of LTE

 The CEPT band plan was included in CEPT Decision (05)05, agreed by consensus in 2005 by
 its 48 member countries. It includes a commitment to make the band available from 2008
 depending on market demand. The plan comprises 2 x 70 MHz paired FDD spectrum
 separated by 50 MHz of unpaired spectrum for FDD downlink or TDD

 Sweden implemented the Decision; first country to auction 2.6 GHz spectrum in compliance.
 Denmark, Finland, Norway, Hong Kong, Singapore and The Netherlands have completed
 similar auctions. 2.6 GHz spectrum is currently being auctioned in Germany. Forthcoming
 allocations likely in 2010 include Austria, Denmark, France, Spain, UK …... and in Latin
 America: Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil

Digital Dividend Spectrum



Digital Dividend refers to the spectrum that becomes freed up as a result of the switchover from
                                  analog to digital terrestrial TV

      Digital Dividend spectrum is in the UHF range (200 MHz and 1 GHz) and excellent for
    extending mobile broadband to rural and semi-urban areas. This spectrum band offers an
    excellent balance between transmission capacity and distance coverage. It has very good
        propagation characteristics i.e. improved in-building performance in built-up areas

     Digital Dividend offers an unprecedented amount of spectrum which can be utilized for
extending mobile broadband services to all, including to the most rural areas, and to speed up
rollout. By applying the Digital Dividend for mobile broadband services, enormous benefits will
           ensue around the world in terms of social impact and increased productivity

Evolution of the 3GPP Core Network
- SAE
The 3GPP core network has also undergone System
Architecture Evolution (SAE) in the same timeframe                                      The architecture is based on an
as LTE, optimizing it for packet mode and, in particular,                  evolution of the existing GSM/WCDMA core
for the IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which supports                           network, with simplified operations and
all access technologies, including fixed wire-line access.                           smooth, cost-efficient deployment

This allows:
 Improvements in latency, capacity, throughput
Simplification of the core network, and optimization for
IP traffic and services, and expected growth
Simplified support & handover to non-3GPP access
technologies

The result is the evolved packet system (EPS) that
consists of the core network part, the evolved packet
core (EPC) and the radio network evolution part, the
evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN), i.e. LTE. The EPS is                                                                 Source: Ericsson

TD-LTE

      The LTE market will include TD-LTE as well as FDD systems

   Li Yizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated that TD-SCDMA subscribers in China are
   expected to reach 80 million by 2011. The China Mobile TD-SCDMA system covered 284 cities by end 2009. China
   Mobile had 7.69 million 3G/TD-SCDMA subscribers total at end March 2010

      TD-LTE is positioned as the next evolution in TD-SCDMA family and a natural progression

       From 3GPP standards perspective: commonality with FDD
       From vendor perspective: increasing use of software defined radio techniques
       From operator perspective: spectrum availability, flexible base stations

Spectrum for LTE deployments


      An operator may introduce LTE in „new‟ bands where it is easier to deploy 10 MHz or 20 MHz
     carriers
            e.g. 2.6 GHz band (IMT Extension band) or Digital Dividend spectrum 700, 800 MHz
            or in re-farmed existing mobile bands e.g. 850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz



      Eventually LTE may be deployed in all of these bands – and others later



      2.6 GHz (for capacity) and 700/800 MHz (wider coverage, improved in-building) is a good
     combination


      LTE offers a choice of carrier bandwidths: 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz; the widest bandwidth will be
     needed for the highest speeds

LTE: A single global standard



  LTE is on track, attracting global industry support. The first systems are launched and
 performing very well

  LTE is the natural migration choice for GSM/HSPA operators. LTE is also the next
 generation mobile broadband system of choice of leading CDMA operators, who are expected
 to be in the forefront of service introduction

  As a result of collaboration between 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE there is a roadmap for CDMA
 operators to evolve to LTE

  Successful handovers between CDMA and LTE networks have been confirmed

  The LTE-TDD mode (TD-LTE) provides a future-proof evolutionary path for TD-SCDMA

  With LTE we have one single global standard, securing and driving even higher economies
 of scale and importantly, simplifying roaming
                                                                 Source: Evolution to LTE: GSA Information Paper
