This document discusses the evolution of HSPA+ technology. Key points include:
1) HSPA+ carrier aggregation and small cells are enabling technologies for handling 1000x growth in mobile data traffic. Carrier aggregation can increase peak data rates up to 84 Mbps with 4 carriers and 168 Mbps with 8 carriers.
2) Small cells combined with HSPA+ range expansion techniques can triple network capacity today. Further enhancements like interference cancellation and Multiflow carrier aggregation across cells will provide even more gains.
3) HSPA+ evolution through technologies like carrier aggregation, small cells, and interference cancellation techniques will continue supporting billions of users into the future as mobile traffic grows exponentially.
HSPA+ is now available on more than 360 networks across about 160 countries, of which about 160 of the operators have already upgraded to dual-carrier HSPA+ (as of Feb 2014), which delivers peak downlink rates of 42 Mbps. The evolution continuous, bring in more carrier aggregation, HetNets enhancements, even more features to increase the capacity for bursty applications which are characteristic of smartphones and internet of everything (IoE) devices. With all the advancements of HSPA+ evolution, it is one of the important tools for operators to address the looming of 1000x data challenge.

This document summarizes the key innovations and developments in broadband wireless technologies, including EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. It finds that persistent innovation has significantly advanced capabilities from GPRS to current technologies that can deliver over 10 Mbps speeds. GSM/UMTS has an overwhelming global subscriber base and deployment. HSPA networks regularly achieve over 1 Mbps speeds and HSPA+ will increase this further. LTE is the most powerful wide-area wireless technology and is being adopted as the next-generation platform.
The final piece to solving the 1000x puzzle is squeezing higher efficiency out of all the resources. More small cells and more spectrum are key to 1000x, but we also need enhancements that increase the network efficiency and squeeze more capacity and value out of spectrum. Apart from interference management that brings more out of small cells, we need to 1) Improving the efficiency of the apps and services 2) Make the data pipe more efficient by evolving 3G/4G/Wi-Fi and 3) Introduce a smarter pipe.

The document provides an update on the global LTE market and technology as of October 2016. Some key points:
- LTE has 1.453 billion subscriptions globally as of Q2 2016, connecting almost 1 in 5 mobile users worldwide.
- 537 commercial LTE or LTE-Advanced networks have launched in 170 countries, including 80 using LTE TDD.
- Carrier aggregation is being widely deployed to support LTE-Advanced and deliver higher speeds. LTE-Advanced Pro networks are also starting to launch.
- VoLTE deployments are increasing globally with 158 operators investing in the technology across 111 countries.
This document summarizes the views on 5G spectrum from the GSA Spectrum Group European regional team. It outlines that both low and high frequency spectrum bands will be needed to meet the diverse 5G usage scenarios. The "pioneer bands" identified by the European Union for 5G trials and early commercial deployment include 700 MHz, 3400-3800 MHz, and 24.25-27.5 GHz bands. The 3400-3800 MHz (C-band) is particularly important as it can provide wide contiguous blocks of 100 MHz or more per operator. However, the C-band spectrum is currently fragmented in Europe and consolidation is needed to enable 5G deployment by 2020.
Main Differences between LTE & LTE-AdvancedSabir Hussain
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution.
In Nov. 2004, 3GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology.
LTE systems have:
Higher performance
Backwards compatible
Wide application
Data Rate:
Instantaneous downlink peak data rate of 100Mbit/s in a 20MHz downlink spectrum (i.e. 5 bit/s/Hz)
Instantaneous uplink peak data rate of 50Mbit/s in a 20MHz uplink spectrum (i.e. 2.5 bit/s/Hz)
Cell range:
5 km - optimal size
30km sizes with reasonable performance
up to 100 km cell sizes supported with acceptable performance
Cell capacity:
up to 200 active users per cell(5 MHz) (i.e., 200 active data clients)
Mobility
Optimized for low mobility(0-15km/h) but supports high speed
Latency (delay)
user plane < 5ms
control plane < 50 ms
Improved broadcasting
IP-optimized
Scalable bandwidth of 20MHz, 15MHz, 10MHz, 5MHz and <5MHz
Co-existence with legacy standards (users can transparently start a call or transfer of data in an area using an LTE standard, and, when there is no coverage, continue the operation without any action on their part using GSM/GPRS or W-CDMA-based UMTS)
LTE Advanced is a mobile communication 4G standard approved by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Jan 2012.
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads.
The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.
To be considered true 4G (also known as “IMT-Advanced”), a mobile network must fulfill a number of benchmarks, including offering a peak data rate of at least 100 megabits per second (Mb/s) when a user moves through the network at high speeds, such as in a car or train, and 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) when the user is in a fixed position.
The highest possible rates are never achieved in real world conditions. Actual rates will be variable, but we can expect LTE-A to be at least five times as fast as most LTE networks today, and that’s great news for video streaming.
LTE Advanced is supposed to provide higher capacity, an enhanced user experience, and greater fairness in terms of resource allocation.
It does this by combining a bunch of technologies, many of which have been around for some years, so we’re not really talking about the implementation of an entirely new system here.
HH QUALCOMM ev-do - 1 x advanced - four-fold increase in voice capacitySatya Harish
1) 1X Advanced is a natural upgrade for CDMA2000 1X that can provide up to a 4x increase in voice capacity through features like interference cancellation and mobile receive diversity.
2) It allows freeing up spectrum for EV-DO data and can increase coverage by up to 70% while maintaining the same capacity.
3) The upgrade is simple and cost-effective for operators, leveraging existing infrastructure and requiring only a new channel card and mobile devices.
Qualcomm: Making the best use of unlicensed spectrumQualcomm Research
In solving the 1000x challenge, licensed spectrum is the foundation. Equally important is utilizing available unlicensed spectrum. The best way to achieve this is to combine both of them through aggregation. Aggregation brings seamless user experience, better coverage and capacity, as well as the efficiencies of a common unified network. Operators have a choice on how to aggregate, and the decision depends on their current assets and future network plans.
Explore our this presentation and other resources to find out when, and how to choose? How can LTE-U coexist fairly with Wi-Fi in 5GHz unlicensed spectrum? What roles existing/new Wi-Fi, and LTE-U play? And whether it really is a "either or" decision.

- The document summarizes key points from the LTE World Summit, including that carrier aggregation allows more effective spectrum utilization and helps level the playing field between operators with different amounts of spectrum. It allows dynamic load balancing between non-contiguous LTE bands.
- The availability of LTE-Advanced and carrier aggregation increases theoretical peak data rates for most LTE subscribers from ~75Mbps to ~150Mbps. Higher throughput will particularly benefit users at the cell edge or in challenging RF conditions and when networks are congested.
- While higher speeds sound exciting, typical mobile users may not notice major differences except when downloading large files, as web pages and most transactions don't require more than a few megabits per second
LTE & Wi-Fi: Options for Uniting Them for a Better User ExperienceAricent
Most national governments consider the radio spectrum a valuable national resource and heavily regulate its commercial use. Governments typically auction off licenses for the right to transmit over a portion of the spectrum, which can be very expensive. The traditional business model for cellular
carriers is based on access to this licensed business has coalesced worldwide around a single 4th generation (4G) radio technology standard called Long Term Evolution, commonly referred to as LTE.
LTE is an IP-based broadband network technology developed by 3GPP as an evolution of 3G mobile networks. It provides higher data rates and an improved end-to-end solution for delivery of voice, data and multimedia to users. Key aspects of LTE include support for wider channel bandwidths up to 20MHz, OFDMA on the downlink and SC-FDMA on the uplink, peak data rates of 100Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink, and backward compatibility with 2G and 3G networks. LTE Advanced further enhances LTE through the use of carrier aggregation to bond multiple component carriers, support for higher order MIMO up to 8x8, and theoretical peak data rates
Next-generation immersive use cases such as VR and AR will demand even faster data rates, lower latency, and more capacity that will push the boundaries of LTE networks. Now, Gigabit LTE is here to deliver fiber-like wireless broadband that meets these expanding requirements. We are leading the Gigabit LTE evolution.

This document discusses the interference problems that can occur between 850 MHz and 900 MHz networks when deployed in the same area. It focuses specifically on out-of-band emissions from 850 MHz base transceiver stations entering the 900 MHz uplink band. Through a link budget analysis using typical deployment assumptions, it determines the required attenuation of filters needed at various site-to-site distances and antenna isolation levels to reduce interference below sensitivity degradation thresholds. The analysis finds that filtering is necessary, as interference levels without it exceed permissible levels and could degrade coverage up to 6%. The exact attenuation required depends on several network parameters.
1) 5G shared spectrum technologies pioneered by Qualcomm such as LTE-U, LAA, LWA and MulteFire can unlock unused spectrum and improve spectrum utilization.
2) Qualcomm has contributed significantly to shared spectrum standards like CBRS and is a founder of alliances to develop shared spectrum technologies.
3) 5G New Radio is being designed by Qualcomm to support flexible deployment in shared, licensed, and unlicensed spectrum bands using technologies like LAA and MulteFire.
This webinar presentation discusses strategies and forecasts for LTE spectrum use to 2016. Some key points discussed include:
1) Over 360 LTE network launches are forecast by 2014 with uncertainty around spectrum availability and band adoption.
2) Lack of consensus on market demand for LTE by frequency band risks slowing decision making and reducing investment in LTE rollouts.
3) The 2600MHz band remains the most popular globally for initial LTE launches, followed by 700MHz-800MHz, though up to 11 bands may be used in some regions.
LTE-U/LAA, MuLTEfire™ and Wi-Fi; making best use of unlicensed spectrumQualcomm Research
LTE-U and LAA technologies allow LTE networks to opportunistically use unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum for small cell deployments to provide additional capacity. Aggregating LTE in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum provides the best performance. Multiple technologies, including LTE-U, LAA, MuLTEfire and Wi-Fi will coexist in the unlicensed spectrum to support all use cases and deployment scenarios.
This document summarizes LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology, including its goals of high data rates and low latency. Key factors that allow LTE to achieve these goals are new modulation techniques like OFDM, scalable bandwidth, and MIMO antennas. LTE provides advantages like simplified network architecture and automated management. While LTE adoption is growing, challenges include high device costs and need for additional spectrum in some areas.
Hyperscale Cloud and Digital Services Infrastructure - Tan Tze MengMyNOG
This document discusses how hyperscale cloud providers like Google, Facebook, and Amazon are driving investment in new submarine cable systems that connect data centers around the world. It provides examples of several new submarine cables funded by these companies, including cables connecting the US to Asia, and notes that hyperscale cloud providers are building more internet infrastructure than traditional telecom companies. The document suggests that with this level of infrastructure investment, the definition of "OTT player" may no longer apply as these companies have become core internet infrastructure suppliers.
This document summarizes the evolution of HSPA+ technology over multiple releases. It shows how HSPA+ utilizes techniques like multicarrier, carrier aggregation, MIMO, and small cells to significantly increase data rates over time. These techniques, combined with optimizations for heterogeneous networks and machine-to-machine communication, will help HSPA+ meet the 1000x mobile data challenge. Qualcomm has played a leadership role in advancing HSPA+ technology through contributions to standards and industry-first chipsets and demonstrations.

Introduction to LTE Advanced Pro. LTE Advanced Pro is a rich roadmap of technologies that will be introduced as part of the global 3GPP standard starting with Release 13 and beyond.
1) Qualcomm is leading the development of 5G mobile technology through advancements in LTE, including LTE Advanced Pro.
2) LTE Advanced Pro enhances LTE capabilities through features like carrier aggregation across wider bandwidths, use of licensed and unlicensed spectrum, advanced antenna techniques, and lower latency.
3) These enhancements help deliver gigabit speeds, increase network capacity and efficiency, enable new IoT use cases, and progress LTE capabilities towards 5G standards.
The 3GPP maintains and evolves radio technologies like GSM, GPRS, W-CDMA, UMTS, EDGE, HSPA and LTE as well as their related core networks and systems architecture. Over 350 companies participate through regional and national standards bodies that are organizational partners of 3GPP. 3GPP has specified radio interfaces for 2G, 3G and 4G networks and continues to work on advancing technologies through releases that improve aspects like throughput, latency, spectrum flexibility and more.
HSPA+ enhances mobile broadband capabilities by doubling the data capacity of HSPA and more than doubling the voice capacity of WCDMA. HSPA+ Release 7 (R7) provides peak downlink data rates of 28 Mbps, while Release 8 (R8) introduces multicarrier capability to double user data rates to 42 Mbps. HSPA+ improves the user experience with lower latency and extended talk time. It also offers a cost-effective upgrade path for operators by leveraging existing HSPA infrastructure and enabling both voice and high-speed data services on the same carrier.
HH QUALCOMM ev-do - do advanced maximizing the performance of ev-doSatya Harish
DO Advanced is a software upgrade that maximizes the performance of EV-DO networks through techniques like network load balancing, distributed network scheduling, and smart carrier management. It provides higher network capacity and improved user experience without requiring new infrastructure. The upgrade benefits both existing and new devices through cost-effective software releases. Standards and firmware for DO Advanced features have already been published and released.
DC-HSPA+ is a mobile broadband technology that aggregates two 5MHz carriers to provide download speeds of up to 42Mbps. It doubles the speed capabilities of HSPA+ by using dual carriers for the downlink, with one carrier acting as an anchor and the other as supplementary. This allows users to be served using two carriers simultaneously instead of one as in HSPA+, effectively doubling throughput. DC-HSPA+ also provides benefits like carrier load balancing and backward compatibility with earlier 3G releases. Real-world tests showed speeds were doubled compared to HSPA+ alone.
HH QUALCOMM - hspa+wcdma - more efficient voice for more data servicesSatya Harish
WCDMA+ is a 3GPP standard that triples the voice capacity of WCDMA networks. This allows operators to free up approximately two-thirds of a 5MHz carrier for additional HSPA+ data capacity. WCDMA+ enhances voice efficiency through radio link improvements and use of the new EVS codec, while maintaining high voice quality. The increased data capacity and 20% reduction in modem power consumption from WCDMA+ allows more support for the ongoing expansion of HSPA+ networks and billions of WCDMA voice users for the foreseeable future.
LTE Advanced is the next major milestone in the evolution of LTE and is a crucial solution for addressing the anticipated 1000x increase in mobile data. It incorporates multiple dimensions of enhancements including the aggregation of carriers, advanced antenna techniques. But most of the gain comes from optimizing HetNets, resulting in better performance from small cells. Qualcomm Technologies has prototyped and demonstrated the benefits of LTE Advanced HetNets at many global events. The first step of LTE Advanced—Carrier Aggregation, was commercially launched in June 2013. It was powered by Qualcomm Technologies' third generation Gobi LTE modems, integrated into Snapdragon 800 solutions.

Their frequency portfolio includes spectrum bands from 800MHz to 2.6GHz which they use for 2G, 3G, and 4G services. Data consumption on Tele2's networks is growing significantly, increasing over 5x for 2G and 6x for GSM traffic in just one year. Tele2 is evolving their mobile networks through improvements to 2G EDGE, continued evolution of 3G HSPA to higher speeds, and an ongoing transition to 4G LTE which offers improved customer experience, network scale and cost efficiencies.
LTE Advanced brings carrier aggregation which aggregates fragmented spectrum to provide higher peak data rates, it enables small cell range expansion through advanced interference management techniques like eICIC to allow more users to benefit from small cells, and it continues to evolve through additions like multi-flow carrier aggregation, enhanced heterogeneous networks, and expanding into new areas like device-to-device communications.
Carrier aggregation allows LTE networks to aggregate multiple component carriers to increase bandwidth and peak data rates. It is a key technology in LTE-Advanced. Three carrier aggregation was standardized in Release 10 and improvements were made in Releases 11 and 12. Implementing carrier aggregation poses design challenges for user equipment due to requirements for complex transceiver architectures capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving on multiple frequency bands, which can cause issues like intermodulation distortion. It also impacts higher layers with changes to RRC signaling and the addition of cross-carrier scheduling capabilities. Thorough testing is needed to validate performance under realistic radio frequency impairment conditions.
LTE-Advanced is an evolution of LTE that enables faster speeds and improved performance. It utilizes carrier aggregation to combine multiple component carriers to increase bandwidth up to 100MHz. It enhances MIMO technology to support up to 8 antenna pairs for downloads and 4 pairs for uploads. It also introduces relay nodes to extend network coverage and capacity to cell edges. These new technologies allow LTE-Advanced to achieve peak download speeds of 1Gbps and upload speeds of 500Mbps, providing a true 4G experience.

HSPA+ continues to accommodate smartphone growth
1R7/R8 allows small amounts of data to be efficiently transported in CELL-FACH state: up to 90% reduction in network signaling load due for social media example. 2Cell-DCH w/ R7 CPC allows non full buffer apps to use connected mode, DCH, more efficiently (DTX/DRX).
3A main enhancements is downlink triggered feedback (CQI) and acknowledgements on the FACH reverse link, which makes FACH efficient like a regular HSPA link, see simulation assumptions in R1-112679
