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.
Reduced latency with HSPA+ improves the user experience
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 ……..

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.

Mobile broadband frequency bands
WCDMA systems incl. HSPA are deployed in 850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz
Most operate in IMT-2000 core band 1920-1980/2110–2170 MHz (referred to as 2100 MHz)
850, 900 MHz deliver coverage and cost efficiencies and are increasing in importance. The eco-system in these bands is rapidly strengthening
700 MHz: 62 MHz of Digital Dividend spectrum auctioned in US; will be auctioned later in other countries in the Americas, and elsewhere
2.50 - 2.69 GHz band is anticipated as the largest new spectrum resource
New UHF Digital Dividend spectrum is becoming available in all regions
excellent for extending mobile broadband to rural and semi-urban areas, and to improve in-building performance in built up areas
Region 1 (Europe, Middle East and Africa) identified 790-862 MHz for mobile services
Region 2 (Americas) identified 698-806 MHz
Region 3 (Asia) some countries (e.g. China, India, Japan) identified 698-862 MHz while others identified 790-862 MHz

Global mobile Suppliers Association © 2010www.gsacom.com
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
2.6 GHz band
GSM/3G Market Update – May 13, 2010 Slide no. 30/66

“Site optimization gave customers a kick up in performance for 2G service as well as access to UMTS900”
“The extended reach of 900 MHz means we can deliver better quality and wider coverage across sparsely populated areas, as well as enhanced depth of coverage”
“UMTS900 has been critical in bringing up the depth of coverage into people’s homes, so they get a similar experience in both voice and data coverage, making it amore economically feasible solution for expansion”
“By having a technology that allows us to get into more places at a lower cost, we can deliver more services. For example, we can grow our small and medium business and consumer market penetration”
“Amongst other applications, UMTS900 implementation is a case study for how we will utilize new spectrum arising from the Digital Dividend”

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
as LTE, optimizing it for packet mode and, in particular,
for the IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which supports
all access technologies, including fixed wire-line access.
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
also standardized within 3GPP Release 8 (March 2009)
and is the baseline for implementations.
The architecture is based on an
evolution of the existing GSM/WCDMA core
network, with simplified operations and
smooth, cost-efficient deployment
There are two nodes in the SAE architecture user plane; the LTE base
station (eNodeB) and the SAE Gateway. This flat architecture reduces the
number of involved nodes in connections. LTE base stations are
connected to the core network over the S1 interface

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 deployment - Sweden
2.6 GHz spectrum has been auctionedTele2 Sweden and Telenor
Sweden are to build a
nationwide LTE network
through a new JV, “Net4
Mobility”
Operators will share
spectrum in the 900 MHz
and 2.6 GHz bands
Shared GSM network also
planned to extend reach by
30 – 50%
900 MHz can be used for 3G
“The present licences in the 900 MHz band will be
renewed and it will be possible for the operators to
phase in new technology for mobile broadband
while at the same time continuing to offer GSM
mobile telephony. The entire frequency space
available in the 900 MHz band will be assigned,
which will enable entry of a new stakeholder through PTS
approving the transfer of frequencies to the operator Hi3G.”

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
