Service (AMPS) US trials 1978; deployed in Japan (79) & US (83)
800 MHz; two 20 MHz bands; TIA-553 Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT)
Sweden, Norway, Demark & Finland Launched 1981 450 MHz; later
at 900 MHz (NMT900) Total Access Communications System (TACS)
British design; similar to AMPS; deployed 1985

prevention; Add new services Wide diversity of 2G systems IS-54/
IS-136 Digital AMPS; PDC (Japan) DECT and PHS; iDEN IS-95 CDMA
(cdmaOne) GSM
Slide 9
9 2G CDMA (cdmaOne) Code Division Multiple Access all users
share same frequency band discussed in detail later as CDMA is
basis for 3G Qualcomm demo in 1989 claimed improved capacity &
simplified planning First deployment in Hong Kong late 1994 Major
success in Korea (1M subs by 1996) Adopted by Verizon and Sprint in
US Easy migration to 3G (same modulation)
Slide 10
10 GSM Global System for Mobile Originally Groupe Spcial Mobile
joint European effort beginning 1982 Focus: seamless roaming all
Europe Services launched 1991 time division multiple access (8
users per 200KHz) 900 MHz band; later 1800 MHz; then 850/1900 MHz
GSM dominant world standard today well defined interfaces; many
competitors; lowest cost to deploy network effect took hold in late
1990s
Slide 11
11 GSM Dominant Today GSM+3GSM used by 88% of subscribers
worldwide Asia leads with 42% of all mobile subscriptions AT&T
and T-Mobile use GSM/3GSM in US today Source: Wireless Intelligence

12 GSM substantially enhanced Widely deployed significant
payback for enhancements HSCSD - high speed circuit-switched data
GPRS - general packet radio service Synchronization between cells
Minimize interference; help fix mobiles location AMR vocoder
increase capacity (& fidelity) Frequency hopping (to overcome
fading) Discontinuous transmission (more calls/ cell) Cell overlays
with reuse partitioning

Possi, UMTS World 4G and future wireless systems optimize a
combination of frequency, time and coding e.g. OFDMA & SC-FDMA
(discussed later)
Slide 14
14 2G & 3G Code Division Multiple Access Spread spectrum
modulation originally developed for the military resists jamming
and many kinds of interference coded modulation hidden from those
w/o the code All users share same (large) block of spectrum All 3G
radio standards based on CDMA CDMA2000, W-CDMA and TD-SCDMA

Slide 16
16 The 3G Vision Universal global roaming Sought 1 standard
(not 7), (but got 3: 3GSM, CDMA 2000 & TD-SCDMA) Increased data
rates Multimedia (voice, data & video) Increased capacity (more
spectrally efficient) Data-centric architecture (ATM at first,
later IP) But deployment took much longer than expected No killer
data app; new spectrum costly; telecom bubble burst; much of the
vision was vendor-driven
Slide 17
17 3G Radio technology today CDMA 2000 Multi Carrier CDMA
Evolution of IS-95 CDMA; but now a dead end UMTS (W-CDMA, HSPA)
Direct Spread CDMA Defined by 3GPP Asynchronous CDMA TD-SCDMA Time
Division Synchronous CDMA Defined by Chinese Academy of
Telecommunications Technology under the Ministry of Information
Industry Paired spectrum bands Single spectral band with time
division duplexing
Slide 18
18 Why CDMA 2000 lost out Had better migration story from 2G to
3G Evolution from original Qualcomm CDMA (IS-95) cdmaOne operators
didnt need additional spectrum Higher data rates than UMTS, at
least at first Couldnt compete with GSMs critical mass Last straw
when Verizon Wireless selected 3GPPs Long Term Evolution (LTE) for
their 4G network Verizon selection 11/2007 Qualcomm abandons
further development 11/2008
Slide 19
19 Japan USA 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)
Partnership of 6 regional standards groups, which translate 3GPP
specifications to regional standards Controls evolution of GSM,
3GSM (UMTS, WCDMA, HSPA) & LTE
Slide 20
20 UMTS (3GSM) is market leader GSM evolution: W-CDMA, HSDPA,
HSPA, + leverages GSMs dominant position Legally mandated in Europe
and elsewhere Requires substantial new spectrum 5 MHz each way
(symmetric) at a minimum Slow start (was behind CDMA 2000), but now
the accepted leader Network effect built on GSMs >80% market
share Surely LTE will benefit in the same fashion
Slide 21
21 TD-SCDMA (Time division synchronous CDMA) Chinese
development IPR bargaining tool with West? Late to market, but big
deployment plans Single spectral band unpaired spectrum; as little
as 1.6 MHz; time division duplex (TDD) with high spectral
efficiency Power amplifiers must be very linear relatively hard to
meet specifications
Slide 22
22 China 3G Largest mobile market in world (630 M subs) Largest
population in world (1.3 billion) Home-brew 3G standard: TD-SCDMA
3G licenses were delayed until TD-SCDMA worked 2008 trials: 10
cities, 15K BSs & 60K handsets 3G granted January 2009 China

third generation (3G) wireless Detailed specifications from 3GPP,
3GPP2, ETSI and others IMT-Advanced New communications framework:
deployment ~2010 to 2015 Data rates to reach around 100 Mbps for
high mobility and 1 Gbps for nomadic networks (i.e. WLANs) High
mobility case via either or both evolved LTE & WiMAX 802.11ac
and 802.11ad addressing the nomadic case
Slide 30
30 LTE highlights Sophisticated multiple access schemes
DownLink: OFDMA with Cyclic Prefix (CP) UpLink: Single Carrier FDMA
(SC-FDMA) with CP Adaptive modulation and coding QPSK, 16QAM, and
64QAM 1/3 coding rate, two 8-state constituent encoders, and a
contention-free internal interleaver Advanced MIMO spatial
multiplexing (2 or 4) x (2 or 4) downlink and uplink
Slide 31
31 4G Technology OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple
Access Supercedes CDMA used in all 3G variants OFDMA = Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) plus statistical
multiplexing Optimization of time, frequency & code
multiplexing OFDM already deployed in 802.11a & 802.11g Took
Wi-Fi from 11 Mbps to 54 Mbps & beyond
Slide 32
32 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Many
closely-spaced sub-carriers, chosen to be orthogonal, thus
eliminating inter-carrier interference Varies bits per sub-carrier
based on instantaneous received power
Slide 33
33 Statistical Multiplexing (in OFDMA) Dynamically allocate
user data to sub-carriers based on instantaneous data rates and
varying sub-carrier capacities Highly efficient use of spectrum
Robust against fading, e.g. for mobile operation
Slide 34
34 FDMA vs. OFDMA OFDMA more frequency efficient Dynamically
map traffic to frequencies based on their instantaneous throughput
FDMA Channel Guard band OFDMA
Slide 35
35 4G Technology - MIMO Multiple Input Multiple Output smart
antenna technology Multiple paths improve link reliability and
increase spectral efficiency (bps per Hz), range and
directionality
Slide 36
36 Municipal Multipath Environment
Slide 37
37 SDMA = Smart Antenna Technologies Beamforming Use
multiple-antennas to spatially shape the beam Spatial Multiplexing
a.k.a. Collaborative MIMO Multiple streams transmitted
Multi-antenna receivers separate the streams to achieve higher
throughput On uplink, multiple single- antenna stations can
transmit simultaneously Space-Time Codes Transmit diversity such as
Alamouti code reduces fading 2x2 Collaborative MIMO give 2x peak
data rate by transmitting two data streams
Slide 38
38 4G Technology SC-FDMA Single carrier multiple access Used
for LTE uplinks Being considered for 802.16m uplink Similar
structure and performance to OFDMA Single carrier modulation with
DFT-spread orthogonal frequency multiplexing and FD equalization
Lower Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) Improves cell-edge
performance Transmission efficiency conserves battery life
Slide 39
39 Key Features of WiMAX and LTE OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiple Access) Users are allocated a slice in time and
frequency Flexible, dynamic per user resource allocation Base
station scheduler for uplink and downlink resource allocation
Resource allocation information conveyed on a frame by frame basis
Support for TDD (time division duplex) and FDD (frequency division
duplex) DL UL DL UL FDD Paired channels TDD: single frequency
channel for uplink and downlink
41 WiMAX vs. LTE Commonalities IP-based OFDMA and MIMO Similar
data rates and channel widths Differences Carriers are able to set
requirements for LTE through organizations like NGMN and LSTI, but
cannot do this as easily at the IEEE-based 802.16 LTE backhaul is,
at least partially, designed to support legacy services while WiMAX
assumes greenfield deployments
Slide 42
42 Commercial Issues LTE Deployments likely slower than
projected But Eventual migration path for GSM/3GSM, i.e. for >
80% share Will be lowest cost & dominant in 2020 WiMAX 2-3 year
lead, likely maintained for years Dedicated spectrum in many
countries But Likely < 15% share by 2020 & thus more
costly
