Mobile network design in the data world: Utilising higher frequencies and Time Division Duplex LTE Technology to deliver capacity and coverage
In light of soaring mobile data demands and upcoming spectrum auctions in many markets, this whitepaper considers the role of TD-LTE technologies and the higher spectrum bands, which are available now, as being the best for maximum spectral-efficiency in the mobile data networks of the future. It will consider:
• TDD vs. FDD
• The importance of channel bandwidths
• Cost effectiveness of higher frequency spectrum for data networks
