Maximum vs Average Speed
Factors Impacting Maximum Speed:
◦ Size of Spectrum Band (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz)
◦ MIMO Configurations (1X1, 2X2, 4X4)
Factors Impacting Average Speed:
◦ Device categories/capabilities (5 categories)
◦ Distance from cell centre
◦ Network Load (RF & transport)
◦ Radio conditions
Average speed can typically be 10%-30% of
maximum speed

LTE Requirements
Reduced delays, in terms of both connection establishment and
transmission latency (a prerequisite for CS replacement);
Increased user data rates;
Increased cell-edge bit-rate, for uniformity of service provision;
Reduced cost per bit, implying improved spectral efficiency;
Greater flexibility of spectrum usage, in both new and pre-existing
bands;
Simplified network architecture;
Seamless mobility, including between different radio-access
technologies;
Reasonable power consumption for the mobile terminal

3GPP - Third Generation
Partnership Project The standardization process:
Requirements, where it is decided what is
to be achieved by the standard.
Architecture, where the main building
blocks and interfaces are decided.
Detailed specifications, where every
interface is specified in detail.
Testing and verification, where the
interface specifications are proven to
work with real-life equipment

Terminology
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the 3GPP quantum leap
project to evolve the UMTS technology towards 4G
SAE (System Architecture Evolution) is the corresponding
evolution of the GPRS/3G packet core network evolution
Key element delivered by LTE/SAE is the EPS (Evolved Packet
System) consisting of the New air interface E-UTRAN
(Evolved UTRAN)
The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network
EPS = LTE + SAE
The term LTE is typically used to represent both LTE and SAE
LTE/SAE standards are defined in 3GPP Rel. 8 specifications

Spectrum Fragmentation
Per design, LTE can operate in many
different spectrum bands
No universal band among the key LTE
bands
◦ Digital Dividend (700MHz & 800 MHz)
◦ 2.6 GHz
◦ 2G/3G re-farmed spectrum: 1800 MHz, 900
MHz, 2.1 GHz

Spectrum Fragmentation
In addition, devices need to support
numerous 2G & 3G bands
Impacts device complexity, availability, and
costs
Seamless LTE roaming is also challenging

Spectrum Fragmentation

Spectrum Availability
Key spectrum bands for LTE yet to be
allocated in many countries
In some countries, refarming 2G/3G
spectrum may require regulator’s approval
Spectrum auctions can require significant
upfront investment

Support for Voice
LTE is focused on data
Voice is relegated to a simple data service status
The GSMA-driven VoLTE implementation is based on
IMS, a complex standard with little commercial footprint
The need to potentially support 2 voice options (CSFB
& VoLTE): impacts/complicates device availability,
network deployment plans, roaming agreements…
Over-The-Top players (e.g. Skype, Google voice…) may
erode voice revenues

Device Availability
The complexity of LTE with regards to
The LTE bands to support
The legacy Radio Access Technologies to
support & interwork with ; i.e. 2G/3G,
CDMA/EVDO, WiMax….
The multiple antennas of MIMO
The voice support (CSFB, VoLTE)
The proliferation of new form factors (routers,
tablets…) … contribute to delayed/limited
availability and increased costs of devices
meeting requirements for a given carrier/market

Roaming
LTE roaming entails a transition from SS7-
MAP to DIAMETER
Spectrum fragmentation and options for
voice support increase the number of
possible roaming scenarios
Roaming for IMS services still needs to be
put in place
The 2G/3G roaming agreements are likely
to remain the only agreement in force for
the near future

HSPA+
The availability of HSPA+ as a legitimate
network evolution option complicates the
case for LTE, as
HSPA+ can provide significant data rate
improvements, blurring the differentiation
of LTE
HSPA+ doesn’t require new spectrum
The investment required for HSPA+
upgrade reduce funds available for LTE
54
![Page 55: HSPA-LTE Network Planning - · PDF fileHSPA-LTE NETWORK PLANNING Vitalis Olunga ICT Strategy Consultant Nyanga: 22nd – 26th February, 2016](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021801/5aa70ff97f8b9aee748b951a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Data Pricing
“All-you-can-eat” data plan can
significantly impact the profitability of LTE
Speed-based vs Volume- based Data Plans
Until VoLTE is fully deployed, LTE doesn’t
generate voice revenues, and rely mainly
on data revenues
55

Backhauling
With LTE, the capacity bottleneck is shifting
from the air interface to the backhaul link
With its high-throughput capability, LTE requires
significant backhauling capacity (100+ Mbps)
The introduction of small cells (i.e. femtocell,
pico-cells, micro cells) complicate the
backhauling plans further
