155 "The timing of the consumer and operator features available from HSPA and LTE"
Real Wireless, January 2012.

This includes a detailed look at the LTE(-Advanced) and HSPA(+) standards, comparing the roadmap of capabilities which will emerge from the 3G standards. It also includes a roundup of the mobile devices which have been announced by manufacturers and an exclusive look at a survey of manufacturers (conducted by Rethink Research) regarding their plans to support various features and frequency bands in future devices.

154 "Technical Analysis of the cost of extending an 800 MHz mobile broadband coverage obligation for the United Kingdom"
Real Wireless, January 2012

Example of extending LTE 800 MHz coverage for mid and North Wales

We extended our modeling tools specifically for the purpose to allow us to efficiently place new sites – both macrocells and small cells – on a cost-efficient basis, taking full account of terrain and the locations of users. More information here.

153 "Studies in Support of Technical Licence Conditions for the 2.6 GHz Frequency Band"
June 2011
Prdouced by Real Wireless on behalf of Ofcom

Report highlights studies relevant to technical licence conditions for the 2.6 GHz band. This accompanies Ofcom’s own consultation document highlighting their proposed licence conditions for both 2.6GHz and 800 MHz. The specific areas examined are:

  • The need to protect FDD base station receivers from interference from TDD systems operating in the restricted block of unpaired spectrum
  • The optimum frequency placement for low-power FDD  access points (including femtocells, microcells and picocells)
  • Potential coordination rules to limit uplink and downlink interference to standard power networks from low power access points which share spectrum in the ‘hybrid’ approach which we examined in a previous report.
  • Issues which could constrain the number of  licences for shared low power access.

152 "Low-power shared access to spectrum for mobile broadband"

March 2011

Produced by Real Wireless on behalf of Ofcom
A technical study by Real Wireless as an important element of Ofcom's proposals to auction the 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz spectrum, which is ideal for LTE and WiMAX “4G’ deployments.  In particular, we studied the opportunities for a portion of the 2.6 GHz FDD band to be used for ‘concurrent’ low power use by several operators, which  would allow femtocells and other low power cell types to be used to deliver service, without needing separate spectrum for every operator.

"4G Capacity Gains"

January 2011

Produced by Real Wireless on behalf of Ofcom

This project aimed to identify the best available information on the relative increase in capacity for 4G systems relative to 3G, while carefully identifying the technical and demand factors which create variability in the results. The study largely consisted of desk research, collating and synthesising data on simulations, prototype trials and early deployments into a single report, available for download below. The project team additionally conducted a number of interviews with network equipment manufacturers and mobile network operators./p>

The projects findings include:

  • Initial deployments of 4G will deliver a 1.2 times improvement in spectrum efficiency over emerging, high end 3G configurations (i.e. 2×2 HSPA+ 64QAM release 8). Comparing against a typical, high end 3G device on the market in 2011, such as a HSUPA release 6 1×1 handset, gives a gain of 3.3 times.
  • The project forecast that spectrum efficiency in deployed networks will grow by approximately 5.5 times between 2010 and 2020
  • The project anticipates that network topology will become important to achieving capacity gains in 4G networks to a larger extent than in 3G networks.

150		 White paper: "Strategies for mobile network capacity expansion"
Real Wireless, November 2010

One of the hottest topics in the mobile industry is the need for more capacity to serve the  growing  quantities of  data emerging from 3G-connected devices like iPhones, iPads, Android devices and 3G modems . Some commentators are keen to paint this as a crisis, leading to the imminent collapse of mobile networks. We have taken a more sober look at the available capacity options and concluded there is scope to meet the demand now and in the future – if you know where to look.
