Implementation Effects on GSM’s EDGE Modulation

Overview GSM's new EDGE modulation promises to increase data rates by up to 3x and is also viewed as a migration path from existing IS-136 systems to 3G systems. The 8 3 / p -shifted 8-PSK modulation scheme is summarized and some potential simplifications are presented. Various practical impairments found in IQ modulators are inflicted upon the EDGE signal, and their effects on the spectrum and error-vector magnitude are characterized. Where possible, computer simulations are corroborated by results from Rohde & Scharz SMIQ & FSEA signal generators and analyzers. Several sets of practically achievable impairments and their corresponding spec compliance (or non-compliance) are identified.

Tailless mice eating holes in corporate networks

Eric Chien, chief researcher at Symantec, warned users to be aware of the increased risk of using wireless devices and encouraged users to adopt a method of encryption or signal modulation to make it more difficult for hackers to eavesdrop.

The Ovum view: Going over the Edge

Either way, though, Edge comes with another advantage, in that it uses the same frequencies as GSM and GPRS - rather than the new spectrum which 3G requires. Edge would allow them to increase the capability and capacity of the 2G spectrum, and...

3G: Closer to the EDGE?

Partly because of spectrum issues it is widely accepted at least three operators in the US will move to EDGE. EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) is sometimes referred to as 2.75G, sitting in the evolution path between 2.5G GSM/GPRS...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
