*Global growth per ’Cisco, May ’12 ’, some regions grew more/less. **1000x would be e.g. reached if mobile data traffic doubled ten times, but Qualcomm does not make predictions when 1000x will happen, we work on the
solutions to enable 1000x

No device impact due to ASA, just a regular 3G/4G device supporting global harmonized bands targeted for ASA. Carrier aggregation would be beneficial to aggregate new ASA spectrum with existing spectrum,
but is not required.

parts can be traditionally licensed, some parts need to be ASA licensed, such as ~3.5GHz in the US/EU1. 3GPP has already defined 3G/4G bands 42/43 for 3.4 GHz to 3.8 GHz,
3.5GHz in the US defined as 3550 – 3650 MHz. In addition, Wi-Fi in unlicensed such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz (802.11 ac) and 60GHz (802.11 ad).

15. EU and US are now considering ASA to unlock
spectrum for mobile broadband
Endorsed by EU 28 Member States, naming it LSA (Licensed Shared Access); EU28
spectrum Regulators currently consulting on their LSA Opinion
Endorsed by CEPT, releasing a report on ASA’s benefits and working on LSA
authorizations guidelines in a special project team called FM PT53
Implemented by CEPT, for the harmonization and release of the 2.3GHz1 on a shared
basis with various incumbents; work ongoing in project team FM PT52
Standardized by ETSI, defining LSA requirements and network architecture
Under consideration by FCC for the release of 3.5 GHz2 for small cells on a shared
basis with radars

1 L-Band in Europe: 1452 MHz to 1492 MHz, sometimes referred to as 1.4GHz or 1.5GHz spectrum.
2 Aggregation across bands is supported in HSPA+ R9 for two downlink carriers, but each specific band combination, e.g. combination of band 1 and L-band, has to be defined in 3GPP.
3 AT&T is planning to deploy supplemental downlink in lower 700 MHz (12 MHz of unpaired spectrum) using LTE Advanced.

Finalization of the Draft ECC Decision (May ‘13) was a pre-requisite
Work Item submitted to 3GPP RAN Plenary on June 2013
One Work Item covering both LTE and UMTS
Current proposed scenarios (higher priority):
− LTE: Band 20 (800MHz) + 1.4 GHz SDL
− UMTS: Band I (2.1GHz) + 1.4 GHz SDL
Work Item submitted by:
− Orange, KPN, Telenor, Telefonica, Ericsson, Qualcomm, ST-Ericsson, Huawei, ALU, Qatar
Telecom, Lightsquared
− Orange is the Rapporteur
3GPP RAN approved the Work Item on 14th June 2013
Plans for the specification work: feature complete by June 2014
