6. HSPA/LTE Peak Data Rate Evolution
HSPA downlink data rate increases with 2x2 MIMO and 64QAM up to 42 Mbps and uplink data rate with 16QAM up to 11 Mbps
LTE further increases the data rate beyond 100 Mbps with larger bandwidth of 20 MHz

7. Business Drivers Over Next 24 Months
More & more bandwidth demanded
Bandwidth intensive applications:
Real-time Video – Conferencing, Gaming, VOD, IPTV, Security Monitoring
Road Warriors – Data Sync, , File Transfers
Data Network Redundancy
CONTENT DRIVEN USAGE !!!!
Policy Control – Effective bandwidth utilization management
DSL or cable modem substitute
Terminal may be a laptop with a data card, PDA, Internet Tablet – 3GPP standardization driving device availability
Alternative to WiMAX/WiFi
Mobile broadband with Global Roaming

14. Voice over EPC Architecture Overview

15. Voice in LTE – Fallback with Dual-Mode Device
Mobile Voice is limited in current LTE devices
The first voice solution in LTE relies on CS fallback handover where LTE terminal is moved to 2G/3G to make CS call while suspending LTE traffic
Eventually LTE voice solutions will be VoIP + IMS
CS voice call will not be possible in LTE since there is no CS core interface
OTT VOIP applications are also available on many devices

Service continuity is key for existing operators. They do not want to introduce disruption point to their subscribers.
Installed base in key for NSN. We do not want to introduce network revolution which would lead to open competion.
