Explosion in mobile data growth predicted


More industry forecasts

By 2015, there will be 3.5 billion mobile broadband users

around the world, compared to the 500+ million that use it at

present (Ericsson)

The total data traffic volume in 2015 will be more than 30 times

that of 2010. Operators will need to make capital investments to

increase capacity in order to meet this demand (Analysys Mason)

Shipments of mobile broadband-enabled consumer products,

which includes e-book readers, mobile digital cameras,

camcorders, personal media players, personal navigation devices

and mobile gaming devices will increase 55-fold between 2008

and 2014 with total shipments reaching 58 million units per year in

2014 (ABI Research)

Up to 22 commercial LTE network launches

anticipated by end 2010 - GSA

Global LTE commitments


An operator may introduce LTE in ‘new’ bands where it is easier to deploy 10 MHz or 20 MHz

carriers for maximum benefits of using LTE

2.6 GHz band (IMT Extension band)

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 DD 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

Spectrum for LTE deployments


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

Future TDD possibility

= 3.6 GHz

Other spectrum candidates for LTE


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

build LTE networks in Finland

Europe: 2.6 GHz spectrum has also been awarded in The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany

More auctions of 2.6 GHz spectrum are planned during 2010-11

TeliaSonera Sweden has launched LTE beginning in Stockholm in December 2009; now

continuing deployment in more cities using nationwide 2 x 20 MHz 2.6 GHz spectrum

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 acquired 2.6 GHz spectrum and are building LTE networks in Norway

TeliaSonera launched LTE commercial service in Oslo launched on December 15, 2009

Tele2 Sweden and TeleNor Sweden are jointly building an LTE network (Net4Mobility) which

includes spectrum sharing in 900 MHz and 2.6 GHz

2.6 GHz: a key band for LTE in Asia, Europe, MEA

Asia: 2.6 GHz spectrum has been awarded in Hong Kong SAR

Consultations, trials on-going in many markets e.g Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, The Philippines

MEA: Deployments, trials underway e.g Saudi Arabia, Jordan, South Africa, UAE


New UHF Digital Dividend spectrum is becoming available in all regions

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 (China, India, Japan) identified 698-862 MHz; others identified 790-862 MHz

Digital Dividend bands

Digital Dividend Update Published by GSA – June 2010

www.gsacom.com


After 224 Rounds the auction

closed on May 20, 2010 and

generated €4.384 billion

www2.bundesnetzagentur.de/frequenzversteigerung2010

Europe’s first Digital Dividend spectrum auctioned German auction covered 360 MHz across four bands: 800 MHz (DD), 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz and 2600 MHz

Bidders were Deutsche Telecom, KPN/E-Plus, Telefonica O2 and Vodafone. Auction commenced April 12, 2010

800 MHz (DD) allocations were the most expensive; 6 x 5 MHz paired blocks (791-821 MHz and 832-862 MHz)

Coverage obligations and restrictions including spectrum caps apply

The 800 MHz spectrum auction

raised €3.576 billion i.e. over

81.5% of the auction’s value


LTE1800 – promising option

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

TD-LTE in trials now

China Mobile (CMCC) is currently showcasing it’s complete end-to-end TD-LTE network at the

World Expo in Shanghai from May 1, 2010

The TD-LTE dongle supports streaming of 24 simultaneous video streams

at a total data rate of 20 Mbps

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

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

The roadmap for LTE


LTE is on track, attracting global industry support. The first LTE systems launched in 2009

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 will 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

The key spectrum bands for new LTE spectrum are 2.6 GHz and digital dividend bands (700, 800 MHz)

Re-farmed 1800 MHz spectrum enables LTE1800 to provide 2 times coverage compared to LTE2600

The LTE TDD mode (TD-LTE) is a real complement to LTE FDD and the perfect choice for providing high speed mobile broadband access through unpaired radio spectrum.

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

LTE: the single global standard
