Data Rates in GSM

GSM data rates have evolved over several generations: 1) Original GSM provided 9.6 kbps, while GPRS offered up to 40 kbps through more efficient use of slots. 2) EDGE increased speeds to around 100 kbps on average by improving coding. 3) 3G technologies like WCDMA and CDMA2000 aimed for speeds over 1 Mbps downlink initially but have achieved around 1 Mbps and 384 kbps respectively in practice.

History
In 1st G AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone
System) developed in U.S in 1983
 In 2nd G there was introduction of CDMA,

TDMA and GSM


Between 2nd and 2.5th G of GPRS

 Between 2.5th and 3rd G there was an

introduction EDGE TECHNOLOGY


Topics of Discussion
 Mobile evolution
 Data rates in
3G
2.5G
HSCSD (High-speed circuit-switched data )
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service )
EDGE (Enhanced Data Rate for GSM
Evolution)
HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access )
UTRA (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access )
Mobile Evolution
 1st generation mobile communication
 2nd generation mobile communication
 2.5th generation mobile
communication
 3rd generation mobile communication
 3G and above
GSM Data Rates are Global
 GSM data rates with GPRS are in all operator cases
across the globe are between 30-40kb/s
 CDMA 1X user data rates vary from up to 90kb/s in a
fragmented Korean market where they have a mixture
of proprietary solutions to 43kb/s in the US, which has
been measured by Nokia
 GSM/EDGE user data rates will be 80-100kb/s with the
first handsets and then 160 to 200kb/s by end of
2003
 WCDMA networks are already in working trials and the
terminals have passed regulatory type approval (dual
mode) in Europe and Japan
 Immediacy of service will have the biggest impact on
the network load and impact costs
2.5G

 HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit Switched Data)


 GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
144 kbps data only
 EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution)
384 kbps data
 HSDPA (High-speed downlink packet access)
Asymmetric. 2 Mbps+ downlink.
3G Technologies
 Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA): Next Generation GSM. Uses
5 MHz channel width ⇒ 2 Mbps
 CDMA2000: Next Generation CDMA (IS-95)
1.25 MHz Channels ⇒ 144 kbps
 3x, 6x, 9x, and 12x in future
 3x (3XRTT): 3.75 MHz channel ⇒ 2 Mbps
 UWC-136: Next Generation TDMA (IS-136)
200 kHz Channels ⇒ 384 kbps or
1.6 MHz Channels ⇒ 2 Mbps
Developed by Universal Wireless Communications
Consortium (UWCC)
 Goal: Provide high-speed packet based Voice and Data
HSCSD
 High-Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)
 First attempt to get high-speed data over
GSM
 Allows data users to get 1 to 8 slots
Data rates up to 115 kbps
 Circuit switched ⇒ Constant data rate
Not suitable for bursty data
Not widely implemented
GPRS is more widely implemented
GPRS
 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
 Standard GSM has 8 slots per 200 kHz channel
⇒ 9.6 kbps data
 GPRS allows any number of slots to a user
 4 different codings used depending upon channel
condition
 9.05 kbps to 21.4 kbps per slot
 76-171 kbps using all 8 slots.
 GPRS user can hop channels (as in CDPD). 2.5G
Technology
EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution

 Can increase the capacity and data throughput


typically to 3-4-fold over GPRS
 Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 473
kilobits per second (kbps)
 Average recognizable data rates between 80 and
130 kbps
 TDMA carriers must still convert to GSM, then
add GPRS before deploying EDGE technology
HSDPA
 High-Speed Downlink Packet Access for WCDMA
 Improved spectral efficiency for downlink ⇒ Asymmetric
 Up to 10 Mbps in theory, 2Mbps+ in practice
 Announced by Siemens, then by Ericsson, Alcatel, Fujitsu
 Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC)
 Multi-code (multiple CDMA channels) transmission
 Fast physical layer (L1) hybrid ARQ (H-ARQ)
 Packet scheduler moved from the radio network controller (RNC) to
the Node-B (base station)
⇒ advanced packet scheduling techniques
⇒ user data rate can be adjusted to match the instantaneous radio
channel conditions.
DATA RATES

Technology Bandwidth Data Rate/User Data Rate/User


(Theory) (Realistic)

GSM 200 kHz 9.6 kbps 9.6 kbps

GPRS 200 kHz 172 kbps 40 kbps

EDGE 200 kHz 474 kbps 100 kbps

CDMA2000 3x 3.75 MHz 2 Mbps 384 kbps

WCDMA 5 MHz 2 Mbps 1 Mbps


UMTS
 Currently six bands that are specified for the use for
UMTS/WCDMA.
 Much of the focus on UMTS is currently on frequency
allocations around 2GHz.
 Uplink Frequency: 1885- 2025 MHZ
 Downlink Frequency: 2110- 2200 MHz
 The channels are spaced by 5MHz.
 The downlink uses quadrature phase-shift keying
(QPSK) for all transport channels.
 Uplink used two separate channels so that the cycling
of the transmitter on or off does not cause interference
to the audio lines.
