BWA which technology?

• HSPAHSPA main stream for mobile vendors as
  UMTS evolution enhancement to radio techniques
  to target higher throughput and peak rate,
  efficient always-on, machine-to-machine and VoIP
  application

• UMTS TDD technology available

• 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) of UMTS (target
  throughput 3-4 times HSPA, peak data rate 100
  Mbps with 20 MHz channelisation). Based on OFDM.
  Target for availability of specifications
  December 2007

• WiMAX (IEEE 802.16-2005) non IMT-2000
  technology spectral efficiency similar to HSPA
  but larger bandwidth (and therefore higher peak
  data rate)

Spectrum issues for BWA

• Two key pillars of mobile industry in Europe and
  worldwide are standardisation and regulation
• A stable and clear regulation environment is a
  prerequisite for long term industry plans
• A common pan European technology enabled mass
  production and roaming across Europe a scenario
  eventually adopted all over the world
• Technology fragmentation hinders the development
  of a mass market and may cause higher costs to
  the end user1 and higher difficulties in emerging
  markets
• European Research must investigate new technology
  enablers (e.g., Software radio, Dynamic Spectrum
  Allocation) to better exploit the spectrum.
  Spectrum management policies need to evolve still
  ensuring the proven key success factors for
  mobile industry
• Europe must innovate and ETSI must continue to
  have a strong role for the industry
