Key trends in mobile network transmission


Mbit/s

Capacity need per basestation is increasing


but timing is difficult to predict Networks should have inbuilt flexibility to meet "unknown! capacity needs

10 8 6 4 2 0

Networks will become more dense


How to avoid frequency congestion? higher frequencies new frequency bands various modulation methods

Single band GSM

Dual band GSM

EDGE

WCDMA

TDM, ATM and IP traffic will share the same links


How to multiplex TDM, ATM and IP into the same link? First ATM/IP over TDM, later IP only?

IP transport

IP utilizes ATM

IP utilizes PDH/SDH

IP over Ethernet

ATM transport

ATM utilizes PDH/SDH

PDH/SDH
