cdma2000™ Leading the Industry with Innovation CDMA has continuously led the industry in innovation since the late 1980s. Today, cdma2000™ is an accepted standard for 3Gnetworks. However there was a time when the concept of basing an air interface on code-division, rather than traditional...

A White Paper from the UMTS Forum Towards Global Mobile Broadband Standardising the future of mobile communications with LTE (Long Term Evolution) February 2008

Application Note This application note describes the Long Term Evolution (LTE) of the universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), which is being developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Particular attention is given to LTE’s use of multiple antenna techniques and to a new...

Nokia Siemens Networks expects five billion people to be connected to the web and a 100-fold traffic increase in the networks by 2015. Wireless access to the Internet will be in step with wireline access. Access via mobile phone supporting enhanced data applications will complement notebook based usage...

This article discusses WiMAX and LTE: in particular, how to implement the core DSP algorithm of OFDMA, then the novelvariant used by LTE for the uplink, and finally a brief discussion on MIMO for both WiMAX and LTE. It describes these in the context of a software-defined flexible architecture.

Long Term Evolution starts here. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next generation system for mobile networks such as GSM, WCDMA/HSPA and CDMA. It improves the delivery of new multimedia and rich call applications, by enhancing data transfer speeds, reducing latency and building on a scalable flat network...

Introduction The recent increase of mobile data usage and emergence of new applications such as MMOG (Multimedia Online Gaming), mobile TV, Web 2.0, streaming contents have motivated the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to work on the Long-Term Evolution (LTE). LTE is the latest standard in...

Executive summary Mobile broadband is becoming a reality, as the Internet generation grows accustomed to having broadband access wherever they go, and not just at home or in the office. Out of the estimated 1.8 billion people who will have broadband by 2012, some two-thirds will be mobile broadband consumers...

Abstract — With the emergence of packet-based wireless broadband systems such as WiMAX 802.16e, it is evident that a comprehensive evolution of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) specifications is required to remain competitive. As a result, work has begun on Long Term Evolution...

Mobile networks have enabled dramatic advances and changes in telecommunications over the last two decades, and mobile operators have grown to dominate the industry, offering their subscribers a service set as rich as their wireline competitors (i.e. mostly voice), plus mobility. However, with the broadband...

Executive Summary UMTS operators around the world are experiencing tremendous success with High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), and are rapidly launching services to capitalize on HSPA’s mobile-broadband capabilities and increased data capacity. 3GPP is currently defining Long Term Evolution (LTE)...

Mobile networks continue to develop at an exciting pace. In ten years, mobile networks may well support services beyond that of today’s multi-megabit fixed connections, while the amount of data traffic on mobile networks could surpass that of today's broadband connections in the next decade...

This white paper discusses LTE, the next-generation nextwork beyond 3G enabling fixed to mobile migrations of Internet applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music downloading, mobile TV and many others. LTE networks will also provide the capacity to support an explosion in demand...

List compiled from Informa Telecoms & Media and public announcements. It includes a variety of commitment levels including intentions to trial, deploy, migrate, etc. To confirm information please contact individual operators directly. To provide additional information please contact info@3gamericas...

Executive Summary Mobile telephone service has achieved worldwide mass market penetration as has wireline broadband service in many developed markets. The next step in the evolution of the telecommunication industry is the convergence of wireless telephony and broad-band access. This convergence will...

The Importance of Subscriber, Service and Policy Control in Long Term Evolution As the rapid growth in subscribers, devices, and applications generate more mobile data traffic and complexity, service providers are anticipating the need to significantly increase their network capacity to meet this demand...

Executive summary The first release of LTE, as standardized in 3GPP Release 8, delivers peak data rates of up to 173Mbps and allows the maximization of the total data throughput on a given frequency spectrum allocation. The operators’ total cost of ownership of LTE is further reduced by the flat...

Overview Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next step forward in cellular 3G services. Expected in the 2008 time frame, LTE is a 3GPP standard that provides for an uplink speed of up to 50 megabits per second (Mbps) and a downlink speed of up to 100 Mbps. LTE will bring many technical benefits to cellular...
