1 IMT-2000 IMT-2000 stands for IMT: International Mobile Communications 2000: the frequency range of 2000 MHz and the year 2000 In total, 17 proposals for different IMT-2000 standards were submitted by regional SDOs to ITU in proposals for terrestrial systems and 6 for mobile satellite systems (MSSs). All 3G standards have been developed by regional standard developing organizations (SDOs). Evaluation of the proposals was completed in 1998, and negotiations to build a consensus among different views were completed in mid All 17 proposals have been accepted by ITU as IMT-2000 standards. The specification for the Radio Transmission Technology (RTT) was released at the end of 1999.

2 IMT-2000 The (IMT-2000), consists of 3 operating modes based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology. 3G CDMA modes are most commonly known as: –CDMA2000, –WCDMA (called UMTS) and –TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access)

3 High-Speed Packet Data Services 2 Mbps in fixed or in-building environments (very short distances, in the order of metres) 384 kbps in pedestrian or urban environments 144 kbps in wide area mobile environments Variable data rates in large geographic area systems (satellite)

5 Network Elements from UMTS UMTS differs from GSM Phase 2+ (GSM +GPRS) mostly in the new principles for the air interface transmission WCDMA instead of TDMA/FDMA Therefore a new RAN (Radio Access Network) called: UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) must be introduced with UMTS Only minor modifications are needed in the CN (Core Network) to accommodate the change

6 UTRA: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access The most significant change in REL. ´99 was the “UTRAN”, a W-CDMA radio interface for land-based communications. UTRAN supports time (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD). The TDD mode is optimized for public micro and pico cells and unlicensed cordless applications. The FDD mode is optimized for wide-area coverage, i.e. public macro and micro cells. Both modes offer flexible and dynamic data rates up to 2 Mbps.

8 UTRAN Two new network elements are introduced in UTRAN RNC Node B UTRAN is subdivided into individual radio network systems (RNSs), where each RNS is controlled by an RNC. The RNC is connected to a set of Node B elements, each of which can serve one or several cells.

UTRAN architecture UTRAN comprises several RNSs Node B can support FDD or TDD or both RNC is responsible for handover decisions requiring signaling to the UE Cell offers FDD or TDD RNC: Radio Network Controller RNS: Radio Network Subsystem Node B RNC I ub Node B UE 1 RNS CN Node B RNC I ub Node B RNS I ur Node B UE 2 UE 3 IuIu

Access method CDMA CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) –all terminals send on the same frequency probably at the same time and can use the whole bandwidth of the transmission channel –each sender has a unique random number, the sender XORs the signal with this pseudo random number –the receiver can “tune” into this signal if it knows the pseudo random number, tuning is done via a correlation function

Spreading and scrambling of user data Constant chip rate of 3.84 Mchip/s Different user data rates supported via different spreading factors –higher data rate: less chips per bit and vice versa User separation via unique, quasi orthogonal scrambling codes –users are not separated via orthogonal spreading codes –much simpler management of codes: each mobile can use the same orthogonal spreading codes data 1 data 2 data 3 scrambling code 1 spr. code 3 spr. code 2 spr. code 1 data 4 data 5 scrambling code 2 spr. code 4 spr. code 1 sender 1 sender 2

31 The Beauty Contest Ten companies asked for one out of four licences Licences were given to Vodaphone Tele2 Hi3G Orange The incumbent, Telia, was not given a licence!!!

32 UMTS in Sweden The licensees have to cover inhabitants. Two joint ventures: Svenska UMTS nät - Tele2 and Telia Telia and Tele2 have established a joint venture, Svenska UMTS nät, with a common 3G network. 3GIS – Telenor and 3* To meet the regulatory requirements, Telenor and 3 has build individual networks, and each has to cover 30% of the population. Telenor and 3 have established a joint venture, 3G Infrastructure Services (3GIS) with a common shared network. This network covers approximately 70% of the population. Björkdahl & Bohlin

33 Network coverage Theoretically it is possible to cover inhabitants by covering km² of Sweden’s surface area. (Swedish total area is km².) Theoretical level corresponds to a coverage of 5% of the Swedish area. In practice, it seems reasonable that the operators will aim for a total coverage of around km². This corresponds to a coverage of 41% of the Swedish surface area. The operators will be able to cover all urban areas and 84% of the inhabitants by covering around km². This corresponds to a coverage of 2.7% of the Swedish surface area.

34 Investment for an average operator Comparing Germany, United Kingdom and Sweden The table shows the average 3G investment per capita per year, including applicable license fees, in Sweden, Germany and the UK for an average operator in each country, for the entire license duration. 1 USD = 8 SEK 3.8 USD 6.2 USD 7.5 USD

35 Summary of main findings The average 3G network investment per operator is estimated to be SEK 6.1 billion. The total 3G network investment in Sweden is estimated to be SEK 24 billion. If the Swedish joint ventures co-operate in rural areas the total 3G network investment is estimated to be SEK 19 billion.
