  1. Mobile Broadband:Spectrum Needs and Harmonization Veena Rawat VP, Ambassador to the ITU Research In Motion

  2. Private and public partnership for mobile broadband access • Radio frequency spectrum is an essential resource for wireless access networks • Developing national mobile broadband capabilities is an area of high priority for many administrations • Assign spectrum for the greatest national benefit • A key policy element is to provide access to broadband networks in rural and remote areas • Mobile broadband can provide wireless access for rural and remote areas • New mobile broadband technologies, such as LTE, can provide traditional ‘fixed’ access and as well as new mobile applications in rural and remote areas • Spectrum harmonization (local, regional and globally) is the key component for mobile broadband networks to achieve benefits of economies of scale and increase spectrum efficiency

  3. Mobile broadband technology for high capacity and large coverage • Technology is ready for flexible and large spectrum use • LTE-Advanced can support up to 100 MHz aggregated spectrum for high data rate and high user capacity • Contiguous spectrum is preferred to take advantage of this technology • Large spectrum bandwidth is also a tool to extend cell coverage – advantage for rural • For the same data rate, link budget is improved by transmitting on larger bandwidth with more power efficient modulation/coding scheme, e.g. QPSK and/or lower code rate. • The challenge is the implementation of multiple spectrum bands, especially in the user equipment • Multiple bands and carrier aggregation increase the complexity of RF front-end • Contiguous spectrum is preferred Note 2: 3GPP Rel-10/11 specifications(LTE-Advanced), operation band can be up 5x20MHz total spectrum by aggregating 5 carriers, each of which can be up to 20 MHz bandwidth

  4. Implementation complexity of handset/smartphone E-UTRA(LTE) operating bands • Support legacy cellular bands • GSM/PCS/AWS/CDMA • More than 30 band classes defined for LTE • With Intra-band or inter-band carrier aggregation • Co-exist with other radio bands • WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/NFC • Spectrum harmonization required to reduce device implementation complexity

  5. Technologies and Bands • Mobile phones are required to support a wide range of wireless technologies • Users prefer a single device for access to all services • In most devices, diversity antennas are a minimum and five or more antenna sets are generally needed in a smart phone. GSM UMTS EDGE WCDMA CDMA EVDO GSM UMTS EDGE WCDMA CDMA EVDO WLAN/WiMax BT NFC LTE GPS 700 800 950 1575 13.56 1700 1900 2400 5800 (MHz) Diversity Diversity Diversity

  6. Antenna Placement in the Handset Challenges • Where to put multiple antennas? • Distance between PCB/bracket and antenna should be >3mm (BT, GPS, WiFi and WiMax); for low bands it should be even higher. • Space under antenna element should be clear of any shields, flexes, or components • Large batteries limit the space allocated for the antennas. • Components (such as shield cans, speaker, camera) may be directly behind the antennas. • Smart phone also includes NFC 4G Diversity WiFI Bluetooth & GPS Main

  7. Spectrum Harmonization for mobile broadband • For the near term, the following spectrum is under consideration for mobile broadband and must be harmonized: • Digital Dividend 600/700/800 MHz • Remaining part of 1710 – 2200 MHz • 2500 – 2690 MHz

  8. Digital Dividend in Region 2

  11. Harmonization and WRC-15 • WRC-15 provides the next opportunity for harmonization at regional and global level • Agenda Item 1.1 to consider additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis and identification of additional frequency bands for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) and related regulatory provisions, to facilitate the development of terrestrial mobile broadband applications, in accordance with Resolution COM6/8 (WRC-12); • Agenda Item 1.2 to examine the results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with Resolution COM5/10(WRC-12), on the use of the frequency band 694-790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1 and take the appropriate measures;

  12. Summary • Mobile broadband enabled by the current technology and has the advantage and flexibility to provide services and applications to wide range of regions, including rural and remote areas • Spectrum harmonization is the necessity for mobile broadband • Mobile broadband access prefers contiguous spectrum • Preparation for WRC-15 provides is opportunity to align harmonization and additional spectrum for mobile broadband

This identification does not preclude the use of these bands by any application of the services to which they are allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations.     (WRC‑12) Region 2 (MHz)
