About The UMTS Forum
The UMTS Forum is an international, cross-sector
industry body comprising operators,
manufacturers, regulators, application
developers, research organisations and IT
industry players.

• OBJECTIVES
• To promote a common vision of the development and
  evolution of 3G/UMTS and to ensure its worldwide
  commercial success
• by expressing a strong industry voice promoting
  3G/UMTS technology and its evolutions through
  lobbying and promotional actions globally
• by forging dialogue between operators,
  manufacturers, administrations regulators, and
  other market players that can ensure commercial
  success for all
• by providing market knowledge to aid rapid
  development and uptake of new services and
  applications
• To provide practical support to industry,
  administrations and policy-makers
• by offering guidance to governmental and
  financial communities, providing marketing input
  to technical standardization bodies (the Forum is
  a Market Representation Partner of 3GPP), and
  advising on spectrum requirements both for the
  present and future 3G systems
• through its membership of the three sectors of
  ITU, in the activities of which it participates
  regularly - such as the ITU-R WP8F in view of
  preparation for the next World Radio Conference
  2007 (WRC-07)

The UMTS Forum serves the interests of all its
members through educational and promotional
activities in its role as the voice of the 3G
mobile market.

HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access)The
next step in evolution of the 3GPP air interface
HSDPA high speed mobile broadband, enabling a
wide variety of high bandwidth multimedia
services including - high quality streaming
video, - fast downloads of high resolution
images and large files, - interactive e-mails
gaming, - telematics,

• Compared with WCDMA, HSDPA
• increases throughput (2?14.4 Mbps) total and
  average per user
• reduces latency
• increases data capacity up to 5x in dense urban
  environments (micro-cells)

WLAN / WiMAX complementary to 3G/UMTS

• WLAN gives hot spot coverage
• WiMAX extends coverage to metropolitan area
  networks
• 3G/UMTS gives full mobility

• WLAN is useful for high-speed Internet/Intranet
  access for low mobility stationary users
  (especially corporates)
• WLAN coverage of a major city may require
  typically approx 1001 as many access points
  compared with number of UMTS base stations for
  equivalent coverage WLAN also requires
  substantial investment in backhaul capacity
• Concerns regarding WLAN performance when hot
  spot capacity is shared by a large number of
  simultaneous users
• WiMAX broadband wireless access (BWA) system
  for metropolitan area networks
• 3G/UMTS offers benefits of wide area coverage,
  full mobility, integral security, roaming, full
  integration with charging/billing systems

WLAN WiMAX coupled/combined with 3G/UMTS/HSPA
will offer mobile broadband for EVERYBODY and
EVERYWHERE, whatever the technology and access
mode

3G/UMTS Long Term Evolution (LTE) basic
principles

• HSPA is the first progressive step toward
  delivering triple play (telephony, broadband
  and TV) in a mobile broadband environment
• Likely acceptance of mobile broadband and mobile
  triple play will raise the need for evolved UMTS
  therefore it is vital that operators ensure the
  long term competitiveness of 3G infrastructure
• The 3GPP RAN Long Term Evolution (LTE) task force
  was created at end 2004, notably considering the
  Super 3G proposal of NTT DoCoMo
• The proposed RAN architecture, placing increasing
  functionality within the NodeB, will be based on
  IP routing with existing 3G spectrum, providing
  speeds up to 100 Mbps by using channel
  transmission bandwidth between 1.25MHz and 20MHz
• 3GPP Evolved UMTS specifications should target
  availability of commercial products around
  2008-2010

18
3G/UMTS Evolution UMTS / HSDPA in context of
other wireless technologies

• W-CDMA and its enhancement HSDPA cover the
  biggest area in the diagram of mobility vs.
  user rate
• WiMAX technologies (IEEE802.16d/e) are bandwidth
  scalable and cover additional areas for fixed
  wireless and nomadic access
