DRIVERS FOR MOBILE BROADBAND

All

predictions show that data traffic will grow

exponentially in the coming years

Revenues will not grow in the same proportion

Reducing the cost/bit is essential if profitability is to be
retained

LTE REQUIREMENT(1)
LTE: Performance Targets
Significantly increased data throughput
Downlink target 3-4 times greater than HSDPA Release 6
Uplink target 2-3 times greater than HSDPA Release 6
Increased cell edge bit rates
Significantly reduces latency
Significant reduction in transition times from idle states to
active state
Radio access network latency less then 5 ms in unloaded conditions for small IP packet

15
