3G Long Term Evolution

Tags:
wimax (802.16)

Overview In the wake of competing technologies, such as WiMAX, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has been developing a mobile communications system more capable than the existing technologies, such as GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA, and HSPA, to maintain the visibility of 3G. Key features of this "Evolution" include a significant enhancement in data rates, a reduced latency for an enhanced end user-experience, and an improved coverage and spectral efficiency with an optimized network architecture providing Carriers with a cost-effective solution.

3G: Boldly going where no one should have gone in the first place?

For instance, the GSM network, supported by EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) and GPRS (general packet radio service), can now increase the bandwidth available. Arto Karila, professor of computing at Helsinki University, sees the...

The Ovum view: Going over the Edge

Edge stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. Of course, this could be done with 'classic' GPRS alone, but there would be a greater disparity between the data rates and service quality available in the two different coverage areas than if...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Mobile guesses

We can also expect jewellery with embedded chips for healthcare monitoring and communication becoming commonplace along with embedded devices for human enhancement and security. Interestingly we have passed this way before on a macro-scale with...

RIM picks Intel for BlackBerry

Cingular and T-Mobile are the two largest wireless carriers that use Edge technology. RIM's initial use of the Hermon series will use a wireless network called Edge (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution), RIM said.

Mobile broadband: Too energy inefficient?

HSDPA is an enhancement to existing 3G networks, which makes them significantly faster. Noting that energy costs represent the third most expensive operating expense (Opex) for carriers today - and that energy costs continue to fluctuate and could...

New mobile masts to be drastically reduced

Such technologies are expected to deliver data rates of more than 100Mbps (current HSPA technology provides 14.4Mbps) and latency of under 20 milliseconds (current technology offers 70-millisecond latency).

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.
