The Mobile Internet is growing fast

Over 5 billion mobile subscriptions • 1.54 billion mobile devices shipped in 2010

• 21% of these were smartphones

• 57% of these were GSM only

• 48% of UK sales were smartphones

• 350 million mobile Facebook users, 44% of total

• YouTube mobile gets over 400 M views a day (up 3x year/year), representing 13% of their daily views

• By 2020, 70-80% of mobile terminals will be smart devices

• Globally, 80% of web access will be mobile by 2020

Capacity for all

LTE

on large

frequency bands,

e.g. 2.6GHz

10-20ms latency

173 Mbps peak data rate

Downlink: OFDMA

• Improved spectral efficiency

• Reduced interference

• Very well suited for MIMO

Uplink: SC-FDMA

• Power efficient uplink increasing battery lifetime

• Improved cell edge performance by low peak to average ratio

• Reduced Terminal complexity

Simple to adapt to different bands

- Ideally, large contiguous spectrum

blocks

- “coverage” spectrum < 1 GHz

- “capacity” spectrum 2 GHz and

Heterogeneous Networks cannot be handled in the traditional way

Wide Area • Majority of

Hot spots • Share

growing • 10-100m

Indoor • Emerging • < 10m

LTE networks will coexist in parallel with existing 2G & 3G networks for many more years

The myriad of cells and layers requires smart optimization and network management solutions

Smaller cells will enable offload of local high capacity traffic from wide area network

Multi-radio traffic and interference management are needed to manage traffic growth
