Capacity evaluation of the EDGE concept for enhanced data rates in GSM and TDMA/136

One step in the evolution of the real-time GSM services is the Enhanced Circuit Switched Data (ECSD) which is being developed in ETSI as GSM Phase 2+ work item (EDGE Phase 1) parallel to Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS). ECSD radio interface deploys 8-PSK modulation in addition to GMSK and thus enables higher data throughput per time slot. This paper gives an overview of the ECSD concept and examples of applications that it supports. The focus is in the link level and the radio network level performance of different ECSD data rates in various test environments. It is shown that by utilising the proper link adaptation mechanism, even demanding transparent high data rate services, like video, can be supported with a good coverage.

Do you want your wireless network to be profitable? Wireless operators will find this practical, hands-on guide to network deployment invaluable. Based on their own extensive experience, the authors describe an end-to-end network planning process to deliver the guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) that enables today's wireless IP services such as VoIP, WWW and streaming video. The trade-off between enhanced user experience and operator cost is explored in the context of an enhanced business model. Comprehensive examples are provided for: • GSM/GPRS/EDGE • WCDMA-UMTS/HSDPA • OFDM-WiMAX/LTE • mesh WiFi • packet backhaul Topics addressed include: • capacity/peak data rates • service latency • link budgets • lifecycle costs • network optimisation With a focus on practical design, the book is ideal for radio and core network planners, designers, optimisers and business development staff at operators and network equipment manufacturers. Extensive references also make it suitable for graduate and postgraduate students.
