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 ……..



42 Mbps DL is market reality

The majority of WCDMA-HSPA networks are complemented with GSM/EDGE for service continuity in areas where WCDMA-HSPA coverage is not available, to ensure that users will receive a good experience of most 3G services

272 of 388 HSPA network operator commitments (over 70%) also committed to EDGE

EDGE can today deliver user data speeds up to 300 kbps peak; more coming with EDGE Evolution

Over 81% of HSDPA user devices also support GSM/EDGE

(excluding notebooks and e-book readers)

EDGE contributes to mobile broadband successMost HSPA networks combine EDGE with HSPA for 3G services delivery

EDGE – global, mature technologyOver 80% of commercial GPRS networks globally

have committed to EDGE



EDGE Evolution - potential benefits:

2 – 3 times increase in EDGE bit rates

2 – 3 times spectral efficiency gain (for voice & data capacity)

Halve the latency (roundtrip time)

All achieved with low impact on the GSM/EDGE network

Standardized in 3GPP Release 7

Leading manufacturers committed

Operators stress service continuity as being very important

WCDMA evolution to HSDPA is a key driver for EDGE Evolution (GERAN

Evolution) since reducing the performance gap is the priority

Evolved GERAN - Drivers and goals

EDGE Evolution



Peak speeds of EDGE Evolution features within

3GPP Release 7 specifications

DL speed up to 1.2 Mbps per user expected

standard enables up to 1.9 Mbps per user

Dual Carrier first phase implementation 10 TSL per user; standard enables

up to 16 TSL per user

EGPRS-2 DL (REDHOT) level B maximum 118.4 kbps per TSL

UL speed up to 474 kbps per user, standard enables up to 947 kbps per user

EGPRS-2 UL (HUGE) level B with maximum 118.4 kbps per TSL

Peak implementation today 4 TSL per user; standard enables up to 8 TSL

per user



GSA Information Paper “EDGE Evolution” www.gsacom.com/gsm_3g/info_papers.php4

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.

Dual Carrier –the first step in evolving EDGE



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



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



2.6 GHz is a key band for LTE in Europe

and Asia

Teliasonera, Elisa and DNA have been granted licences and 2.6 GHz spectrum and will build LTE

networks in Finland

2.6 GHz spectrum has also recently been awarded in The Netherlands, and Denmark and is

under auction in Germany. Several more auctions of 2.6 GHz spectrum are planned

throughout European markets during 2010-11 which will be key spectrum for LTE

TeliaSonera Sweden is deploying LTE using nationwide 2x20 MHz 2.6 GHz spectrum and

announced commercial service in Stockholm launched on December 15, 2009

In Hong Kong, 2x15 MHz blocks of 2.6 GHz FDD spectrum have been auctioned and won by

China Mobile, Genius Brand and CSL Limited

Telenor and Netcom have been granted licences and 2.6 GHz spectrum and are building LTE

networks in Norway

Spectrum below 1 GHz850, 900 MHz

Growing awareness and appreciation of the benefits of deploying mobile broadband systems

in re-farmed 900 MHz band:

systems today referred to as UMTS900 (or WCDMA-HSPA900)

UMTS900 gaining traction amongst operators and regulators across Europe, Asia, Oceania,

Middle East, Africa, Russia

Regulatory obstacles in Europe removed; the 20-year old GSM Directive has been

amended, allowing mobile broadband systems in re-farmed 900 and 1800 MHz spectrum

UMTS900 eco-system is rapidly developing, including HSPA user devices

UMTS900 and UMTS2100 deployments are complementary

Similar benefits obtained with HSPA in 850 MHz band; commercial systems today in Australia,

New Zealand, and the Americas



UMTS900 = cost reduction in rural/suburban areas

UMTS900 Operator Case Study on Elisa


UMTS900 has an economic motivation –

it is a business decision

Increased coverage

Significant CAPEX, OPEX savings

Re-use existing sites

Faster rollout

Improved voice service

Improved in-building penetration

GSA UMTS900 operator case study

Elisa, Finland



“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



700 MHz band Digital Dividend spectrum

700 MHz is a key band for LTE deployments

700 MHz LTE deployments include Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility, several regional players

Verizon Wireless has set up trial networks in Boston and Seattle, and plans to launch in

25-30 cities by end 2010 (nationwide by 2013)

700 MHz spectrum availability will extend throughout Americas. This could be earliest in

Chile where LTE trials are planned by Entel PCS, Claro and Movistar. Subtel (regulator)

expected to soon launch a spectrum auction (2.6 GHz, 700 MHz)

The Indian government has formed a task group to develop a national band plan at 700 MHz

Consultations on future use of 700 MHz have commenced in New Zealand and Australia

The Roadmap



LTE system design

Downlink based on OFDMA: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, for

improved spectral efficiency, capacity etc

QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation schemes supported

Uplink based on SC-FDMA: Single Carrier – Frequency Division Multiple Access.

Technically similar to OFDMA but better suited for uplink from hand-held devices

(battery power considerations)

BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK and 16QAM modulation schemes supported

Designed for both paired and unpaired spectrum use

Designed for FDD and TDD use

Macro-diversity (soft handover) no longer required

Circuit-switched connectivity no longer supported

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

Is LTE ready?

Standards are complete (Release 8 – March 2009)

LTE has global acceptance by leading operators worldwide

Infrastructure systems are shipping and being installed now

Spectrum is available to support initial system deployments

LTE consistently performs well, meeting or exceeding expectations

LTE islaunched commercially in two markets and is poised for expansion in 2010

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.”

Press release, PTS, 13.03.09



Other frequency bands for LTE

LTE FDD will most likely in future be

deployed in existing cellular bands too,

including:

850 MHz

900 MHz

AWS (1700/2100 MHz)

1800 MHz

1900 MHz

2100 MHz

TD- LTE

Early TDD Spectrum for LTE (TTD-LTE)

IMT Extension Center Gap 2570–2620 MHz

2.3 TDD I.e. 2300 – 2400 MHz

LTE FDD

Future possibilities:

450 – 470 MHz

3.6 GHz

LTE-Advanced

3GPP made a formal submission to the ITU,

meeting the deadline of October 7, 2009, proposing

that LTE Release 10 & beyond (LTE-Advanced) be

evaluated as a candidate for IMT-Advanced.

The submission was made jointly in the name of the

3GPP Organizational Partners: ARIB, ATIS, CCSA,

ETSI, TTA and TTC.

(GSA is a Market Representation Partner in 3GPP)

3GPP plans to complete its work on LTE-Advanced

specifications by 2010/2011

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
