GSM Evolution • Licensing • Business spreading over boarders • Technology • 1st Generation - 1G • Analog cellular • 2nd Generation - 2G • Multiple digital systems • 3rd Generation - 3G • HSCSD, GPRS, EDGE (1/2 generation) • i.e. GSM Evolution
IMT-2000 families IMT-2000 UMTS – 3GPP CDMA-2000 ? Europe Japan USA Korea China USA USA
SDOs and UMTS • Europe • 3GPP • ETSI, ARIB, TTA, CWTS, T1 and TTC • W-CDMA interface = UTRA • USA • US national standard • Compatible to IMT-2000, i.e. to UMTS • CDMA2000
IMT-2000 Families • Total of 17 families in 1998 • All accepted by ITU • 11 terrestrial and 6 via satellite • The important ones • UMTS (W-CDMA) • GSM successor • CDMA2000 (TD-SCDMA) • AMPS/GSM successor
IMT-2000 criteria • Used worldwide • Interoprability • Used for all mobile applications • PS and CS support • PS implies IP support • Higher data rates • Up to 2 mbps: 144, 384 and 2048 kbps • Higher sprectrum efficiency
UMTS - the European system • Main improvement • UTRA: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access • W-CDMA for land mobile systems • UTRA supports • TDD: Time Division Duplex • For micro and pico cells • FDD: Frequency Division Duplex • For wide area coverage • UTRA Multicarrier
GSM-UMTS interoperability • UTRAN • UTRA: UMTS Terrestrial Access Network • GSM-Only • Access via Um interface • GSM/UMTS • Access via Uu interface • If no UMTS coverage • Access via Um with reduced bandwidth
Licensing • More than one mobile operator • CH: Swisscom, Sunrise, Orange & Telefonica • Famous cases: Germany and UK • Licensing • Auction (based just on money income) • Ethics (based on social aspects as well) • UMTS issues • Very high investment and unknown revenue
