Spectrum Issues p
LTE Bands:

Re-farming g
900/1800MHz GSM bands are attracting a lot of attention, as spectrum refarming in those bands is seen as one way to allow the roll out of mobile broadband services. Additional spectrum can be added to the specifications as required. (eg. 3500MHz currently being added)

Dispelling some Myths about LTE and IMS S

Myth 1: LTE is Data only
Reality: Support of voice was one of the key considerations in designing LTE. The voice solution for LTE is IMS VoIP and it is fully specified.

M th 2: SMS i t supported over LTE Myth 2 isnt t d

Reality: LTE and EPS will support a rich variety of messaging applications - including SMS. The solution is twofold, covering both the full IMS case and a transition solution for those networks that do not support IMS IMS.

Myth 3: IMS isnt ready for prime time

Reality: IMS was first developed as part of Rel 5 in 2002. It is based on IETF protocols such as SIP and SDP that are very mature These technologies have been embraced by the industry as the mature. signalling mechanism for multimedia applications.

Myth 4: LTE doesnt support emergency calls

Reality: VoIP support for emergency calls (incl. location) in Rel 9. A transition solution fall back to 3G/2G - has existed since IMS was introduced (Rel 5).
