LTE in Unlicensed Spectrum
This report is the second quarterly report tracking the progress of the key technologies for using LTE in unlicensed spectrum: LTE-U, License Assisted Access (LAA, or LTE-LAA) and its future enhancement eLAA, and related technologies such as LWA. Future reports will cover the status of networks and ecosystems for CBRS (the US shared access spectrum) and LWIP. GSA summarizes network trials as well as deployments, and the availability of chipsets, modules and devices. GSA welcomes additions to its database of LAA/eLAA, LTE-U, LWA and LWIP products and networks from the industry. The database also contains…Read more -

GSA Executive Report: How 5G changes perceptions of applications, coverage and architecture
Future 5G networks will be very different to those of previous generations of mobile technology. Concepts such as network slicing and virtualization, the use of heterogeneous access networks and close interworking with 4G LTE networks will support a very wide range of services and applications with hugely different performance requirements. This means that previous definitions of how and where we deliver coverage will fundamentally change. Current perceptions of service coverage are based largely on the idea of where 98% of people live and work, taking into account that people can move into a coverage area…Read more -

The Future of IMT in the 3300-4200 MHz Spectrum Range
This white paper from the GSA outlines the opportunity in the 3300-4200 MHz frequency range which is the largest band of spectrum available for mobile broadband below 6 GHz. The amount of spectrum that can be made available in this frequency range will be exploited by the latest international mobile telecommunications (IMT) technologies, in particular the 5G New Radio (5G-NR) air interface, to deliver increased capacity and a better experience to end users. Pages including Annexes: 48 File size: 1.7 Mb ©2017 GSA This white paper is supported by a presentation that can also be downloaded…Read more -

Enterprise Small Cells Deployment Advantages – White paper
This white paper on Enterprise Small Cell Deployment Advantages proposes the following major themes: As an industry, we must re-open the discussion on how indoor cellular is built by embracing the need of enterprise IT to actively participate in solving their business productivity problem caused by poor indoor cellular. Most Enterprises don’t want to acquire solutions that require construction of a parallel network. For the telecom industry to move to closer partnerships with enterprises offering winning solutions that can integrate with technology that enterprises operate to offer potential implementation savings. Optimal deployments can share the…Read more -
