Long Term Employment

                              Or
       Less Than Expected?

Opening thoughts

4G – Too little too soon?
Six concerns about the evolution of wireless:
  1.     Pursuit of high performance is not keeping up with demand
  2.     Growing complexity
  3.     Evidence of diminishing network quality
  4.     Market and supply chain fragmentation
  5.     Growing costs
  6.     Immature market – confusion over role of value, price and cost

Predicting the next winning technology
Often the “best” doesn’t win
• Ethernet vs. Token ring
• 802.11b vs. HiperLAN
• Windows 3.1 vs. Unix
• Iridium vs. GSM
• Esperanto vs. English (or maybe Chinese...)

                          of the good”

• Now it’s LTE vs. GSM, HSPA - and Wi-Fi

What we would like in wireless…

Simplicity and economies of scale:
- One worldwide wireless standard for everything
- One air interface
- One frequency band
- One core network
- One application development framework
- And no IPR (that we don’t own…)

For 2G, GSM substantially achieved this in 1992
For 3G, UMTS tried to achieve this in 1999 but faltered
For 4G, what is the outlook - will LTE deliver?

Attractive attributes of LTE

Based on OFDMA giving:
• Scalable bandwidths for deployment flexibility and high data
  rates
• Suitable for use with MIMO
• Supports narrowband scheduling to take advantage of fading
• Potential for higher efficiency than CDMA at wide bandwidths
• Supports enhanced broadcast features (MBSFN)
• Support for in-channel relaying (backhaul)
Simpler low latency packet-only core network
Support for QoS (e.g. for VoIP)

Technology evolution - Audio

Over the last century, audio has evolved from wax through shellac, vinyl,
metallic tape, to opto-mechanical discs and finally solid state silicon
At each new generation the user perceived benefits have been undeniable
meaning earlier generations have largely been obsoleted.

Technology evolution – Cellular

Commercial Cellular phone technology started in the 70s with expensive
bulky and heavy products moving through the first true “handsets” and
onto GSM and CDMA
So is the added value of new generations slowing down?

If your supercar commute
   to work looks like this
  then you will have paid
for peak performance but
     you will experience
      average or poor
        performance

Quiz #1 - High speed vs. high capacity
               At what average speed does the capacity (i.e.
                  cars per hour) of this road reach its peak?
                                  This is counter-intuitive: High
                     10 mph ?     speed drives down capacity!

                     40 mph ?     In wireless, high data rates
                                  consume disproportionately
                     70 mph ?     more resources and provide less
                                  coverage for fewer users –
                     100 mph ?    overall capacity reduces.

                     1000 mph?    Improving capacity through
                                  higher average speeds is plain
                                  hard work
                                  In motoring terms, improving the
                                  average would require a whole
                                  new form of robotic control.

What is enabling the apparent exponential growth
in wireless communications?
The capacity of a system to deliver services is defined by three
main factors:
• The bandwidth of the available radio spectrum – in MHz
• The efficient use of that spectrum – bits / second / hertz
• The number of cells – this equates to spectrum reuse
                  Efficiency




                               Number of cells

Growth to date dominated by increasing cell count
If we apply Cooper’s law over the last 50 years we are looking at a growth in
wireless capacity of perhaps 1,000,000
Allocating this growth between the axes of capacity looks roughly like this:

     Using current projections, the increase of cell numbers (spectrum
         reuse) remains the dominant means of growing capacity

Examples of growing complexity:
Voice support
2G & 3G
• Single solution – circuit-switched services


3.9G/4G LTE
1. IMS – preferred 3GPP solution
2. Circuit-Switched Fallback – preferred 3GPP alternative
3. VoLGA – UMA/GAN for LTE
4. Fast Track voice over LTE (NSN – SIP-based)
5. Proprietary solutions (e.g. Skype)

Choice creates unwanted interworking complexity

Concern regarding baseline LTE Rel-8
performance
LTE Rel-8 targets were based on 2x to 4x gains over a limited version of Rel-
6 HSPA
   • Type 1 receiver – 16QAM Single stream with Rx diversity
A fair comparison would be with Rel-8 HSPA
   • Type 3i receiver
      • Add dual stream DL 2x2 MIMO
      • Add equalizer
      • Add interference cancellation
      • Add 64QAM
On paper the differences between Rel-8 HSPA and Rel-8 LTE are minimal –
perhaps 20% in favour of LTE
In practise the advantage will be with the more mature HSPA and may stay
that way

OFDMA – An unproven cellular technology

Many benefits are expected from OFDMA
• Improved spectral efficiency
• Improved cell edge performance
• Better suited to MIMO
To date there are no commercial OFDMA deployments using 1x frequency
reuse
• Clearwire using 3x for suburban, 6x urban @ 2.6 GHz
• Single channel 10 MHz @ 700 MHz is a very different scenario
OFDMA Narrowband frequency-selective scheduling creates non-Gaussian
cell-edge interference
• 3GPP simulations appear to have used the much easier Gaussian
  interference model which could inflate expectations
CDMA creates Gaussian interference which can be modelled and cancelled

Managing complexity is an exponential problem
(and Moore is not the solution)
Its not that systems can’t work it is primarily that as complexity rises there
are just so many operational combinations to design and test for

The macrocellular dilemma

To deliver true mobile broadband these three attributes are all
required:

    1. High data rates with the capacity and density to match
    2. Ubiquitous coverage
    3. Low or reasonable cost



              For macrocellular networks, pick any two!
          Conclusion: High efficiency macrocellular can’t do it alone.
                    Some form of small cells is essential.

Evidence of growing problems in the delivery of
basic services
No time today for details but:
• Performance of MMS and video calls remain erratic
• SMS becoming less reliable
    • Multiple receipts common
    • Interworking with CDMA2000 still not figured out after more than a
      decade – multiple issues
• Network generated SMS spam
    • Welcome to the Netherlands. What? Again!
• Voice connectivity problems between 2G/3G
• Caller ID frequently fails

For wireless, how does it look like from the other end?

Key lessons learned from 20 years of cellular

What we learned from GSM (2G)
      Scale matters -> 4B devices worldwide
      Ubiquitous low-rate services work and are hugely profitable (voice/SMS)
What we learned from UMTS (3G)
      A fat circuit-switched data pipe doesn’t cut it
      Coverage matters
What we learned from HSPA (3.5G)
      Packet-switched data is essential for mobile broadband
      When the megabits finally start flowing, data density matters
      Pricing data at 1% of voice is not sustainable
What we learned from the iPhone
      Usability and apps are vastly more critical to innovation than air interfaces
      Wi-Fi is an effective way to offload low-grade traffic from cellular

What will it take for LTE to displace existing
cellular to deliver on the unified vision?
Sufficient clean spectrum in which to gain a foothold (e.g.
European 800 MHz band)
Network optimization to milk opportunities and overcome
challenges with OFDM
Demonstrated performance to drive obsolescence of legacy and
evolving older technologies
Solution to Voice support caused by the packet-only network
Proof that IMS is a viable solution for mobile systems
Economies of scale to drive down prices to below legacy
systems
Leave high volume / low value data to Wi-Fi and femtocells

Moray Rumney's Presentation at Emerging Communication Conference & Awards 2009 Europe

  • 1. 2009 | Westergasfabriek | Amsterdam | http://eComm.ec
  • 2. LTE: Long Term Employment Or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Agilent Technologies LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? © Copyright 2009 Agilent Technologies, Inc. Moray Rumney 28th October 2009
  • 3. Opening thoughts 4G – Too little too soon? Six concerns about the evolution of wireless: 1. Pursuit of high performance is not keeping up with demand 2. Growing complexity 3. Evidence of diminishing network quality 4. Market and supply chain fragmentation 5. Growing costs 6. Immature market – confusion over role of value, price and cost Inspired by: Technology in the Recession: Less is Moore http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12932356 LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 2 28th October 2009
  • 4. Predicting the next winning technology Often the “best” doesn’t win • Ethernet vs. Token ring • 802.11b vs. HiperLAN • Windows 3.1 vs. Unix • Iridium vs. GSM • Esperanto vs. English (or maybe Chinese...) “Perfection is the enemy of the good” Gustave Flaubert French Novelist 1821 - 1880 • Now it’s LTE vs. GSM, HSPA - and Wi-Fi LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 3 28th October 2009
  • 5. What we would like in wireless… Simplicity and economies of scale: - One worldwide wireless standard for everything - One air interface - One frequency band - One core network - One application development framework - And no IPR (that we don’t own…) For 2G, GSM substantially achieved this in 1992 For 3G, UMTS tried to achieve this in 1999 but faltered For 4G, what is the outlook - will LTE deliver? LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 4 28th October 2009
  • 6. Attractive attributes of LTE Based on OFDMA giving: • Scalable bandwidths for deployment flexibility and high data rates • Suitable for use with MIMO • Supports narrowband scheduling to take advantage of fading • Potential for higher efficiency than CDMA at wide bandwidths • Supports enhanced broadcast features (MBSFN) • Support for in-channel relaying (backhaul) Simpler low latency packet-only core network Support for QoS (e.g. for VoIP) LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 5 28th October 2009
  • 7. Planned Order LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 6 28th October 2009
  • 8. …and the space (spectrum) to deploy it Note use of spacial diversity! Denver LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 7 28th October 2009
  • 9. But what we have… LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 8 28th October 2009
  • 10. …is the legacy LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 9 28th October 2009
  • 11. Yuck! 1G 3G 5G 2G 4G Heathrow LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 10 28th October 2009
  • 12. Wireless evolution 1990 - 2010 Increasing efficiency, bandwidth and data rates IS-95A IS-136 802.11b 2G cdma GSM TDMA PDC 802.11a IS-95B HSCSD GPRS iMode 2.5G cdma 802.11g 802.11h IS-95C E-GPRS W-CDMA W-CDMA TD-SCDMA 3G cdma2000 EDGE FDD TDD LCR-TDD 802.11n 1xEV-DO 1xEV-DO 1xEV-DO HSDPA HSUPA 802.16d 3.5G Fixed Release 0 Release A Release B FDD & TDD FDD & TDD WiMAXTM 802.16e WiBRO UMB LTE Edge HSPA+ Mobile 3.9G Rel-8 Evolution WiMAXTM LTE- In 20 years of evolution 4G Advanced why has so little 802.16m Rel-10 come off the plate? LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 11 28th October 2009
  • 13. Phases of Technology Adoption 1. Standardization 2. Regulation 3. Physics 4. Commerce The Committee The Test Maxwell’s The Shopping Room House Place Mall And then there was light… Where engineers Where products are Where electro- Where commercial consume lots of put on trial to prove magnetic law law determines coffee while creating their conformance determines if it whether anyone wireless law actually works actually buys it Just because the industry invents a new standard does not mean success is guaranteed. What determines commercial success? LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 12 28th October 2009
  • 14. Technology evolution - Audio Over the last century, audio has evolved from wax through shellac, vinyl, metallic tape, to opto-mechanical discs and finally solid state silicon At each new generation the user perceived benefits have been undeniable meaning earlier generations have largely been obsoleted. LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 13 28th October 2009
  • 15. Technology evolution – Cellular Commercial Cellular phone technology started in the 70s with expensive bulky and heavy products moving through the first true “handsets” and onto GSM and CDMA So is the added value of new generations slowing down? LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 14 28th October 2009
  • 16. Performance - Which is the best car? $2,500 $1,500,000 Answer: Both! It depends on the problem you are trying to solve LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 15 28th October 2009
  • 17. Top end wireless is a bit like the top end automotive • It is undeniably real • But is it affordable? And once you have purchased it, where and how often can you really experience it? LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney 28th October 2009
  • 18. 1001 bhp At top speed, empties its fuel Top Speed – 253 mph tank in 12 minutes! 0 – 60 mph in 2.5 seconds 0 – 125 mph in 7.5 sec 0 – 250 mph in 16.7 sec 250 – 0 mph in 9.8 sec Price: $ 1,500,000 (plus tax!) LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney 28th October 2009
  • 19. If your supercar commute to work looks like this then you will have paid for peak performance but you will experience average or poor performance LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney 28th October 2009
  • 20. Quiz #1 - High speed vs. high capacity At what average speed does the capacity (i.e. cars per hour) of this road reach its peak? This is counter-intuitive: High 10 mph ? speed drives down capacity! 40 mph ? In wireless, high data rates consume disproportionately 70 mph ? more resources and provide less coverage for fewer users – 100 mph ? overall capacity reduces. 1000 mph? Improving capacity through higher average speeds is plain hard work In motoring terms, improving the average would require a whole new form of robotic control. LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 19 28th October 2009
  • 21. So what really matters - Peak or Average? WoW! Now with predictive results! LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 20 28th October 2009
  • 22. What is enabling the apparent exponential growth in wireless communications? The capacity of a system to deliver services is defined by three main factors: • The bandwidth of the available radio spectrum – in MHz • The efficient use of that spectrum – bits / second / hertz • The number of cells – this equates to spectrum reuse Efficiency Number of cells LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 21 28th October 2009
  • 23. Growth to date dominated by increasing cell count If we apply Cooper’s law over the last 50 years we are looking at a growth in wireless capacity of perhaps 1,000,000 Allocating this growth between the axes of capacity looks roughly like this: 10000 2000 1000 Growth has historically been Growth factor 100 25 dominated by the 20 increase in the 10 number of cells 1 Efficiency Spectrum No. of cells LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected? Moray Rumney Page 22 28th October 2009
  • 24. Comparing wireless growth potential for the next decade 100 100 Growth potential 10 3 2 1 Efficiency Spectrum No. of cells Using current projections, the increase of cell numbers (spectrum reuse) remains the dominant means of growing capacity LTE: Long Term Employment or Less Than Expected?
