The main features of TD-SCDMA: 3S Key technologies of TD-SCDMA

Page 21: A1 3G Mechanism Technology Analysis and Comparison

Advantages of TD-SCDMA System

Be able to use spectrum efficiently because no binate band class is required. In

addition, band class assignment is also simple. Whereas, the FDD technology in

the WCDMA system requires binate band class.

Be more suitable for asymmetrical services because uplink and downlink

resources can be flexibly allocated, including Internet, multimedia application and

file transfer service. Whereas, the WCDMA system has to waste one uplink band

class up to now.

Be easy to use such new technologies as smart antenna to improve performance

and reduce cost due to symmetrical electric wave propagation. The reason is that

uplinks and downlinks are of pertinence and work on the same frequency.

Whereas, the WCDMA system do not feature pertinence because its uplinks and

downlinks do not use the same frequency.

Feature low cost of TDD equipment due to corresponding channels. Therefore,

receiver can be simplified. In addition, single-chip IC can be used to realize RF

transceiver due to no requirements for receiving and sending isolation.

Page 22: A1 3G Mechanism Technology Analysis and Comparison

Disadvantages of TD-SCDMA System

Inter-BTS synchronization: Inter-BTS synchronization is required to redu

ce interference between BTSs.

Interference in TDD: As a synchronization system, the TDD has high req

uirements for synchronization which plays a very important role in the co

mmunication system. In addition, that uplinks and downlinks are on the s

ame band class adds interference type.

Narrower coverage compared with the WCDMA system

Mobility speed: TDD required by ITU-R supports a maximum rate of 120

km/h, while the FDD supports a maximum rate of 500km/h.

Transmit power: TD-SCDMA results in pulse power interference due to f

actors of TDMA, thereby requiring great transient transmit power. But FD

D has not such a problem because it is transmitted on all slots.

Introduce compressed mode and no disconnection occurs during inter-frequency or

inter-system measurement.

Reduce call drop rate of the system

Mobile subscriber identity

Most part of MINs are allocated to North America and only a few numbers (IRM) are allocated internationally.

Cannot support international roaming efficiently

Page 38: A1 3G Mechanism Technology Analysis and Comparison

Consider the following when processing CDMA signaling networking and roaming during actual applications in China:

• Require network equipment to complete the conversion from MIN to IMSI and architecture since CDMA signaling networks in China adopt ITU 7 signaling.

• Pay more attention to number analysis and route configuration of network equipment since MIN number segments are allocated to China discontinuously.

• Adopt IMSI to resolve problems during CDMA roaming by

• Upgrading existing CDMA network equipment

• Considering downward compatibility

• Supporting MIN and IMSI simultaneously by the network and putting forward special requirements for equipment

• Cannot support international roaming efficiently.

WCDMA: The technology has been mature and its products are stepping into commercial use stage.

• Japanese NTT DoCoMo has been for commercial use.

• Commercial system equipment and terminal products began to be available on the market gradually since the next half year of 2002.

• WCDMA terminals are as complex as cdma2000 terminals. The cost mainly depends on market support.

cdma2000 system with 800M band class

• Korean SKT has been for commercial use.

• cdma2000 with 800MHz band class wins wide support from equipment and terminal manufactures.

cdma2000 system with 3G core band class

• There are few operators to select the mechanism with such a band class globally.

• Band class translation results in changes to system designs, including equipment and terminals.

• Compatible instruments and terminals manufacturers make a slow progress, thereby affecting R&D process of equipment manufacturers.

Maturity of 3G TechnologyMaturity of 3G Technology

Page 44: A1 3G Mechanism Technology Analysis and Comparison

Adopting the unified band class globally, WCDMA features stronger roaming and global

service expansion capability.

Globally, only two operators announce to select cdma2000 with core band class but not
