Release 9: HSPA and LTE enhancements including HSPA dual-carrier operation in combination with MIMO, EPC enhancements, femtocell support, support for regulatory features such as emergency userequipment positioning and Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS), and evolution of IMS architecture. Release 8: HSPA Evolution, simultaneous use of MIMO and 64 QAM. Includes dualcarrier HSPA (DC-HSPA) wherein two WCDMA radio channels can be combined for a doubling of throughput performance. Specifies OFDMA-based 3GPP LTE. Defines EPC.

Release 7: Evolved EDGE. Specifies HSPA+, higher order modulation and MIMO. Performance enhancements, improved spectral efficiency, increased capacity, and better resistance to interference.

THE Mobile Broadband Standard

Dispelling some Myths about LTE

Myth 1: LTE is Data only


Reality: Support of voice was one of the key considerations in designing LTE. The voice solution for LTE is IMS VoIP and it is fully specified.

Myth 2: SMS isnt supported over LTE


Reality: LTE and EPS will support a rich variety of messaging applications - including SMS. The solution is twofold, covering both the full IMS case and a transition solution for those networks that do not support IMS.

Myth 3: IMS isnt ready for prime time


Reality: IMS was first developed as part of Rel 5 in 2002. It is based on IETF protocols such as SIP and SDP that are very mature. These technologies have been embraced by the industry as the signalling mechanism for multimedia applications.

Myth 4: LTE doesnt support emergency calls


Reality: VoIP support for emergency calls (incl. location) in Rel 9. A transition solution fall back to 3G/2G - has existed since IMS was introduced (Rel 5).

Spectrum
THE Mobile Broadband Standard

Additional spectrum can be added to the specifications as required


(eg. 3500MHz currently being added)

Re-farming
900/1800MHz GSM bands are attracting a lot of attention, as spectrum refarming in those bands is seen as one way to allow the roll out of mobile broadband services.

(See 3GPP TS 36.101)

Offloading and Traffic Breakout

Various traffic offload mechanisms defined in Release 10 Local IP Access (LIPA) is used from a femtocell to access local network resources (such as a printer) IP Flow Mobility and Seamless Offload (IFOM) is used to carry some of a UEs traffic over wifi to offload femto access. Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO) is used to offload the mobile core network by breaking traffic out of the network early.
SIPTO for femtocells may be deferred to a later release

Convergence (Technology)
THE Mobile Broadband Standard

3GPP LTE is a point of convergence, to unite the worlds operators on a common technology platform

2009 - CDMA Development Group (CDG) join 3GPP as a Market Representation Partner (MRP) 2009 - TD-SCDMA Forum pave the way for TD-LTE in China 2009 - Public Safety Agencies announce that LTE meets their requirements (See APCO, NENA, NPSTC Announcements) 2010 3GPP is working with Broadband Forum to support FMC using 3GPP EPC

Conclusions
THE Mobile Broadband Standard

3GPP LTE is set to be the major enabler for mobile broadband EDGE and HSPA remain hugely successful Industrial input to the standards process is of an unprecedented level
For LTE roll-out it is vital to maintain a good knowledge of standards updates

The first commercial LTE Networks have been launched based on 3GPP Release 8 and R9 LTE-Advanced will enable new services & innovation beyond 3GPP Release 10 3GPP LTE is an evolution path which unites the GSM/UMTS, TDLTE and CDMA families as well as the fixed/mobile communities
