Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
3G Americas, a wireless industry trade association representing the GSM family of technologies, has published a new edition of the white paper that, it says "many have considered necessary reading for learning about the latest 3GPP standards."
The latest edition, The Mobile Broadband Evolution: 3GPP Release 8 and Beyond, explores HSPA+, SAE/LTE and LTE-Advanced from a technical, business and applications approach and makes comparisons to other mobile broadband technologies. It provides detailed discussions on the HSPA+ enhancements in Rel-8 as well as the EPS, EPC and LTE architecture, features/capabilities and performance estimates.
The paper also addresses 3GPP planning for Rel-9 and Rel-10 content which has already begun. In addition to further enhancements to Evolved HSPA or HSPA+, Rel-9 will be focused on features that enhance the Rel-8 EPC/LTE capabilities in areas such as location, emergency and broadcast services, support of CS over LTE, Home NodeB/eNodeB architecture considerations (ie support for femtocell type applications) and IMS evolution.
3GPP is also working on the LTE-Advanced study item which is likely to define the bulk of the content for Rel-10. The white paper includes discussion of Rel-10 and what requirements will officially define '4G' technologies with the significant new technology enhancements to EPC/LTE for meeting the very aggressive IMT-Advanced requirements.
The 178 page document is available for download from www.3gamericas.org .
