LTE TDD: The Global Solution for Unpaired
Spectrum
China and India to deploy LTE TDD Global TDD Spectrum
China Mobile committed to LTE TDD, e.g. in 2.3 GHz
Potential
Major India BWA operators in 2.3 GHz TDD Spectrum Bands
Spectrum
Strong industry support 2.5/2.6 GHz (IMT Extension gap) 50 MHz
B383: 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz
Basically all vendors offering LTE TDD
WiMAX industry support declining1 2.3 GHz 100 MHz
B404: 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz
Leverages LTE FDD 3IMT extension band provides 50 MHz TDD in addition to 70 MHz + 70 MHz
Shares most of FDD design and standard FDD in most countries. 2B340 will e.g. be used for India and China, can
provide up to 100 MHz, but less spectrum may be available in some markets.
Common FDD/TDD core network

LTE TDD is ready for trials in 2010 LTE TDD
Qualcomm won one 20 MHz TDD spectrum Examples are Alcatel-Lucent, Alvarion,
slot in key telecom circles for LTE TDD Ericsson, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia Siemens
Networks and ZTE

China Mobile showcasing large-scale trial at Infrastructure products
the World Expo, Shanghai from May 1, 2010
China Mobile will establish 3 separate trial
networks in Qingdao, Xiamen and Zhuhai Chipset vendors committed to LTE TDD
beginning Q3 2010 chipsets in 2.3/2.5 GHz
China Mobile is also partnering to establish trial Qualcomm, Altair, Sequans, Innofidei,
networks overseas, including Taiwan Wavesat, Beceem, Runcom LG, Huawei,
Samsung, ST-Ericsson

LTE TDD Complements 3G to Boost Data
The optimal technology to leverage unpaired spectrum
3G Coverage
Ubiquitous data coverage, voice services and global roaming

LTE TDD Excellent for Hot-Spot Expansions
Existing networks can leverage LTE TDD for targeted capacity expansions
TDD spectrum typical available at higher frequency bands optimal for capacity expansion1
Excellent indoor complement for small nodes—does not interfere with FDD network
New LTE TDD networks—plan for small nodes from day one
Mix of LTE TDD hot spots (picocells, femtocells) with LTE TDD macro coverage
Capacity boost
LTE TDD Hot-spots
E.g. Micro, Pico and Femtocells
(2.3 GHz and 2.5/2.6 GHz)

TDD can provide

capacity
1Assuming same transmit power and 2.6GHz. The main reason for~ 80% reduced coverage is that the uplink device power is used part of the time for TDD but
continuously for FDD . Even a 1:1 UL/DL allocation means a duty cycle of ~40% in the uplink which contributes to a ~3dB reduced link budget and ~40% reduced

coverage area (note that the DL duty cycle can vary between 40 % to 60% depending how much of special field sub frames are used– not shown in graphics ).
LTE TDD is Designed for Spectrally Efficient

Example: HSPA+ delivers comparable Performance to WiMAX in
significantly less spectrum—WiMAX is using frequency reuse 3
