Read moreLTE-to-5G May 2022 – UPDATED 17th May
LTE-to-5G May 2022. Quarterly Update UPDATED 17th May with updated figures for consistency. Report summary LTE is a global success with over 6.6 billion subscriptions, connecting nearly two-thirds of mobile users worldwide. LTE is specified by 3GPP as a single global standard for paired and unpaired spectrum users. The vast majority of the standard is the same for FDD and TDD. LTE has evolved through various 3GPP technology releases, covering the introduction of LTE-Advanced and then LTE-Advanced Pro, which have significantly improved the capabilities of LTE networks. From 3GPP Release 15 onwards, the community has… -

APT700 Global Status – Commercially Launched Networks, Devices, Market Opportunity
Industry support for the APT700 band plan is strong. Whereas APT700 provides both FDD and TDD arrangements, it is the FDD plan that has gained global support from industry and regulators in markets covering over 3.2 billion people. 42 countries have allocated, committed to, or recommend allocating APT700 FDD (band 28) spectrum for LTE deployments. This Snapshot report is an extract from the Evolution to LTE report (January 7, 2015). For full details per operator see the full Evolution to LTE report.

LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation Deployments: Peak Speeds
Operators worldwide are investing in LTE-Advanced systems and peak speeds are increasing. GSA's Evolution to LTE report published on 7 January 2015 confirmed that 107 operators in total, i.e. almost 30% of LTE operators have launched, are deploying or are trialling LTE-Advanced technologies. This includes 49 operators that have commercially launched LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation in 31 countries. This new paper from GSA summarises the theoretical peak downlink speed of each of the commercially launched LTE-Advanced networks. Analysis of this data shows that 20 operators have launched Category 6 systems (300 Mbps). An additional 22 additional…Read more -

5G Radio Access System Design Aspects
5G Radio Access System Design Aspects Nokia Networks white paper Summary 5G will be an ultra-fast and ultra-flexible communication network including different technologies, but will be transparent for the end user and easy to manage for the operator. Additionally, 5G needs to address the predicted large increase in data traffic and will have to fulfil the capacity, data rate and latency requirements of next- generation devices. To enable the capacity and data rate requirements for 5G, new spectrum bands are required, along with the massive densification of small cells. Ultra dense small cells will be…Read more -

LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation Optimization
Carrier aggregation (CA) is the most important feature in LTE-Advanced because it improves the practical data rates, enhances network capacity, simplifies traffic management and extends the coverage area and provides a very robust performance in live networks. CA was defined in 3GPP Release 10. This white paper explains LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation technology and its evolution, beginning with the combination of FDD or TDD bands through to combining both FDD and TDD bands together as well as licensed and unlicensed frequencies. The practical performance of CA and optimization steps are also discussed. © Nokia 2015 This…Read more -

GSA Members and Associates Share Technology Insights Including on Future 5G Topics
In 2014 GSA invited its Members and Associates to share their insights and experiences via the GSA website. This was part of its role to inform and educate the market about the opportunities from using mobile broadband technologies, (including HSPA, LTE and LTE-Advanced), and also to encourage thought-leadership. This resulted in a large increase of presentations and information papers available for download, complementing the many reports and papers produced and made available by the GSA itself via the website. The number of Members and Associates papers published on the GSA website in 2014 was almost…Read more -
