3 GPP – the Partnership 3 GPP Stands for 3 rd Generation Partnership Project The Partners are Standards Developing Organizations: (Japan) (China) (USA) (Europe) (Korea) (Japan) Contribution driven …companies participate in 3 GPP through their membership of one of these “Organizational Partners” Currently over 350 Individual Members (Operators, Vendors, Regulators) 12 Market Representation Partners – See final slide. These organisations give perspectives on market needs and drivers © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 3

3 GPP – the Work Approximately 185 meetings per year Many co-located meetings, totalling around 600 delegates Some meetings receive 1000 documents © 3 GPP 2010 44

What does 3 GPP Specify? 3 GPP Specified Radio Interfaces • 2 G radio: GSM, GPRS, EDGE • 3 G radio: WCDMA, HSPA, LTE • 4 G radio: LTE Advanced 3 GPP Core Network • 2 G/3 G: GSM core network • 3 G/4 G: Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 3 GPP Service Layer • • • GSM services IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Multimedia Telephony (MMTEL) Support of Messaging and other OMA functionality Emergency services and public warning Etc. © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 5

3 GPP Release Concept Still to come: R 11… © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 6

General Directions of 3 GPP Evolution Radio Interfaces • • Higher Data Throughput Lower Latency More Spectrum Flexibility Improved CAPEX and OPEX IP Core Network • • Support of non-3 GPP Accesses Packet Only Support Improved Security Greater Device Diversity Service Layer • More IMS Applications (MBMS, PSS, mobile TV now IMS enabled) • Greater session continuity © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 7

Evolution of the Radio Interface Standards availability EDGE+ 1 Mb/s 384 Kb/s W-CDMA 384 Kb/s HSPA+ 18 Mb/s 42 Mb/s LTE-Advanced 1000 Mb/s 100 Mb/s 2000 2010 © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 8

GPRS / EDGE Evolution Release 8 and earlier Release 9 • • • Hybrid Location • Local call local switch • Multi Standard Radio (MSR) “ GERAN/LTE Interworking General corrections Multicarrier BTS A-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) TSG GERAN has been continuing to evolve GSM EDGE technology towards services that approach UMTS and LTE levels Andrew Howell, 3 GPP GERAN Chairman © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 ” 9

UMTS / HSPA 240 Operators in > 100 countries…Forecast 1 billion subscriptions by 2011 3 GPP R 5 & R 7 added MIMO antenna and 16 QAM (Uplink)/ 64 QAM (Downlink) modulation Improved spectrum efficiency (modulation 16 QAM, Reduced radio frame lengths New functionalities within radio networks (incl. retransmissions between Node. B and the Radio Network Controller) Latency reduced (100 ms for HSDPA and 50 ms for HSUPA) © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 10

LTE introduced in Rel 8 • Minor improvements in Rel 9 and Rel 10 Significantly increased data throughput • • Downlink target 3 -4 times greater than HSDPA Release 6 Uplink target 2 -3 times greater than HSUPA Release 6 Increased cell edge bit rates • • Downlink: 70% of the values at 5% of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) Uplink: same values at 5% of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) Significantly reduced latency High mobility Cell ranges up to 5 km; with best throughput, spectrum efficiency and mobility. Cell ranges up to 30 km; Mobility with some degradation in throughput and spectrum efficiency permitted. Cell ranges up to 100 km; Supported; degradations accepted © 3 GPP 2010 11

LTE-Advanced 3 G 4 G You are here Smooth transition from 3 G to 4 G LTE-Advanced to be the main feature of 3 GPP Release 10 © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 12

What will LTE-Advanced deliver? Support for wider Bandwidth (Up to 100 MHz) Downlink transmission scheme • • Improvements to LTE by using 8 x 8 MIMO Data rates of 100 Mb/s with high mobility and 1 Gb/s with low mobility Up link transmission scheme • • Improvements to LTE Data rates up to 500 Mb/s Relay functionality • • Improving cell edge coverage More efficient coverage in rural areas Co. MP (coordinated multiple point transmission and reception) • LTE-Advanced 3 G 4 G • Downlink coordinated multi-point transmission Uplink coordinated multi-point reception Local IP Access (LIPA) & Enhanced HNB to allow traffic off-load You are here © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 13

Timelines for LTE-Advanced is the 3 GPP submission for the ITU’s IMT-Advanced system “Final submission” to ITU-R - Jun 2008 - Sep 2008 - Jun 2009 - Oct 2009 Completion of LTE-Advanced specifications by 3 GPP - 2010 / 2011 Study Item, “LTE-Advanced” approved in 3 GPP LTE-Advanced Requirements (TR 36. 913) LTE-Advanced “Early Submission” made to ITU-R “Complete Technology Submission” to ITU-R © 3 GPP 2010 SEM 27 -02 - Mar 2008 14

Looking forward - Key 3 GPP Topics* Evolution of the Radio Interface Home (e) Node B’s Offloading and Traffic Breakout Machine Type Communications Fixed Mobile Convergence Intelligent Transport Systems Future developments including; • • • Smart Grids Smart Cards, e. Commerce, USB, High Speed Interface m. Health RFID Multi-Standard Radio (MSR-BS) * This is only a subset of the 3 GPP topics.
