In just a few years, forecasters predict wireless will become the preferred access technology, with as many wireless phones in the world as wired ones. And wireless users increasingly expect better data service. Yet current mobile wireless networks don't have the bandwidth for heavy data usage. So service providers, equipment vendors, and standards bodies around the world are developing the third generation of mobile wireless technology, which will carry data at rates well into the kilobit range and even into the megabit range for fixed, in-building use. Lucent, which has complete product lines for first (analog) and second (present-day digital) generation networks, is deeply involved in developing third-generation, or 3-G, wireless technology for all three major air interfaces – global system for mobile communications (GSM), time-division multiple access (TDMA), and code-division multiple access (CDMA).

BC (Before Cellular) Single Channel Radio Telephone Trunked Radio High power transmitter on a high spot Each user has own channel range of 50 miles Trunked Radio “Trunking efficiency” by sharing channels More spectrum efficient Cellular like Trunked radio, share the channels Low power= small coverage area Low power = frequency reuse More expensive infrastructure

Data Services- Middleware Preferred language should be XML compliant
Data Services- Business issues Usefulness of information Metcalfe’s law: value of network increase as the exponent of connected nodes: V~ KN Corollary: value of a wireless network is inversely proportional to the number of incompatible standards: V ~ 1/S High speed data Few will pay for high speed video (5 to 10 x voice call) Many will pay for useful, responsive service- high speed allows for responsiveness
SMS Very Popular, Except in US “Rule of thumb” at 30% pen usage explodes US penetration is about 35% But we have 5 standard - 10% max on any one Metcalfe’s law in reverse European environment calling party pays - no cost for incoming Internet cost per minute SMS is a way of making money go father Postulation - SMS would be explosive in North America if the internet was established as the common interface
2G offered customer’s clear value Smaller phone - in your pocket / purse Longer battery life - stop worrying about it Better MMI on the phone More affordable service - $30 bucks per month Maybe poor voice, but better coverage Less dropped calls - worked better
What is 3 G supposed to offer? Original Definition Common World Standard Higher Speed Data 384 kp/s for full area coverage 2 Mb/s for local area coverage Isochronous Services (voice / video) supported Data Packet, “always on” Service supported Reality Family of standards at least two bands, thanks to North America
Reasons for 3G Business drivers to move forward Need for more voice spectrum in some regions of the world Hope that data will become a major new source of revenue Technology push 3 G data business case is unclear In some markets, might be competitively priced to wireline, but not in US 3 G needs a data killer application, as voice revenue will drop Market must find “low payload” services with high utility Tie in with location and voice technology Carriers must aggressively price the service - “learning curve” Thus 3 G data business can be proven by 2.5 G data business
Operators’ 2.5G / 3G networks will not meet expectations Expected data rate [kbps] 9-14 100-300 384-2000 Actual data rate [kbps] 9-14 10-30 30-150
It’s all about Integration and Balance Nokia RIM Palm VII PIM Visor Web Access Messaging Voice ? For starters, let’s take a look at VisorPhone, our first step toward achieving a more fully integrated product. VisorPhone is optimized for two of the four key functions described earlier: PIM and voice. It SUPPORTS messaging and web access, but it is not really optimized for them. It does voice and PIM very well, but the other functions are not as optimized and work but could be done better if there were less trade-offs. Other examples of of this include the RIMM Blackberry product which is great at e-mail but lacks in PIM functionality, or the Palm VII which is great at quick Web access but lacks in messaging. In the case of VisorPhone, it runs on a voice network, not a data network, and as such can’t have always-on connection, so it is not ideal for e-mail. What we and everyone else in the industry has done so far is to optimize products for some features, and do the best we can on the others, recognizing inherent limitations.

WCDMA的切换 1、硬切换 移动台在不同频率或不同系统(GSM)之间的切换 2、软切换 移动台在同一频率下的不同基站之间的切换 3、更软切换 移动台在同一基站的不同扇区之间的切换
软切换与更软切换 更软切换: 在BTS内部完成 基站和移动台都按照RAKE 接收机方式接收 软切换: 网络需要一条独立的传输链路 UL/DL分集方式不同 MS:MRC RAKE合并 RNC:帧选择合并
WCDMA 压缩模式与切换 测量间隙 正常帧 正常帧 • 在压缩模式下需要更多发射功率=>影响WCDMA系统的覆盖 IS-95 GSM 频间测量的用途 用于频间和系统间切换 无频间测量, 很难利用多载波 用于切换 由于TX和RX的不连续,测量很容易 频间测量方法 压缩模式 测量间隙 压缩模式 正常帧 正常帧 • 在压缩模式下需要更多发射功率=>影响WCDMA系统的覆盖 • 在压缩模式帧中不能进行功率控制=> 需要更高的Eb/N0 => 影响 WCDMA 容量
向3G网络演进的策略 网络演进需考虑的问题 主要方案 平滑性和阶段性 保护用户权益 保护运营者投资 不能频繁改动网络 增强网络方案 新技术之间有一定间隔 无线技术的选择 核心网络兼容性 经济性 标准化程度 频率问题 试验及执照 主要方案 增强网络方案 保证业务的连续性 叠加网络方案 建立全新核心网和平台 全IP网络演进
二代向三代的过渡策略 两个问题 网络兼容与过渡 终端的兼容 第三代系统必然要在一段时间内与第二代系统相共存 双模甚至多模终端 ITU建议采用“软件无线电”技术。这种技术是采用空间软件下载和自适应技术来实现传统用硬件实现的功能,目前看来,实现这种技术仍存在困难。
向第三代演进的策略 策略1: 首先采用增强的第二代网络,延续一段时间。第三代的无线接入网通过适配功能单元接入到增强的第二代核心网;在较晚的时间再采用第三代的核心网络。第三代核心网络与第二代网络间采用互通功能单元进行互通,而逐步淘汰第二代核心网。
向第三代演进的策略 策略2: 从开始阶段就建设第三代的核心网络。第二代与第三代之间采用互通功能单元互通,逐步将第二代的无线接入网直联到第三代的核心网络,而淘汰第二代核心网。

2G network reuse CN With R99 the 2G CN can be reused and 2G subscribers will be migrated gradually to 3G Major CN evolution will appear with R4 and R5 (all IP) Operators need to have clear roadmaps and upgrade paths and shall only invest in a new CN when 3G traffic really takes off RAN Most of the 2G sites can be reused In urban areas where physical space for equipment is limited existing 2G cabinets shall be swapped for higher capacity / smaller footprint 2G cabinets to allow new 3G cabinets or for new 2G / 3G cabinets In urban areas antennas shall be swapped for wide band or dual band antennas

Comments on site sharing Site sharing is a “good practise” well developed for 2G (co-location) and generally allowed and even encouraged by regulators for 3G to limit planning and environmental impact An estimation states that for the UK 60% of the sites have at least two 2G tenants Site sharing always needs to be considered on the top of other higher level of network sharing Site sharing (co-location) ratio shall increase naturally with the number of operators

Comments on RAN sharing RAN Sharing is standardised by 3GPP Some vendors have already announced the availability of equipment for 2002 but not all of them even if they claim that they can be ready in few months The number of supported NB is a limiting factor for the dimensioning of RNC and therefore the shared RNC solution shall be carefully analysed even in low capacity areas
