    Mobile Broadband Evolution in 3GPP

    Is WiMax A Good Choice for Mobile Broadband?


    Mobile WiMax is based on fixed WiMax design philosophy
    Adaptation of the Wireline DOCSIS MAC for wireless communications A mobile wireless channel is very different
    Significant channel variations throughout coverage area Shared medium requires efficient mechanisms to allocate/deallocate resources Significant other-cell interference that needs to be managed Handoff challenges for mobile devices

    Good for fixed point-to-multipoint

    Our analysis shows significant performance gain of 3G over Mobile WiMax


    Mobile WiMax requires 2 to 6 times more base stations to provide the same coverage
    More than 6 dB link budget deficiency compared to EV-DO Rev. A at the same carrier frequency, and worse link budget at higher carrier frequencies (i.e. 2.5 and 3.5 GHz)

    3G (EV-DO Rev. A or HSPA) data throughput outperforms Mobile WiMax by 50-80%


    Performance based on typical mobile channel conditions used in 3GPP2 evaluation Due to poor control channel coverage, WiMax applies 1/3 re-use for control channels, thereby resulting in more than 50% control channel overhead, and hence lower throughput

    Mobile WiMax can support ~50% of VoIP capacity of 3G networks with the same bandwidth
    Mobile WiMax data throughput drops significantly when supporting real-time traffic

    3Gs Greater Capacity Means Fewer Required Cell Sites

    3G CDMA Continues to Drive Mobile Broadband Growth

    3G Embedded Laptop Shipments Will Continue to Outpace WiMax

    Concluding Remarks
    Wireless access networks are likely to continue to include a wide range of technologies even after FMC is established in the network core
    Access technologies will continue to be optimized for particular operating environment to provide the best performance/cost trade-off for that service Wireless access networks are likely to remain hybrid and various, with a mix of singlebearer and multimode devices used to connect to them.

    From Mobile Broadband perspective, 3G Technologies today (EV-DO Rev. A and R6 HSPA) already provides excellent QoS support and high data rate services
    Evolution in existing spectrum (EV-DO Rev. B and HSPA+) offers additional enhancement in user-experience with higher data rates and lower delays UMB and LTE are highly optimized OFDMA system for wider bandwidths in new or vacant spectrum for further improvement in user experience

    Compared to Mobile WiMax (based on 802.16e), 3G Technologies (EV-DO or HSPA) has better performance as well as greater economies of scale
