== The Dolcera 4G Wireless Standards Subscription Service Overview ==Dolcera will track the following information for all 4G wireless standards continuously:* Standards development (major milestones, announcements, specifications releases)* Patent filings* Products* Spectrum availability, allocation and auctions around the world * To subscribe, please email [mailto:info@dolcera.com info@dolcera.com]. * [http://usa.wimaxworld.com/ '''Wi-MAX world conference - 2008 in USA.'''] ===Definition of 4G===
The 4G will be a fully IP-based integrated system of systems and network of networks achieved after the convergence of wired and wireless networks as well as computer, consumer electronics, communication technology, and several other convergences that will be capable of providing 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s, respectively, in outdoor and indoor environments with end-to-end QoS and high security, offering any kind of services anytime, anywhere, at affordable cost and one billing.
According to the 4G working groups, the infrastructure and the terminals will have almost all the standards from 2G to 3G implemented. The infrastructure will however only be packet based, all-IP. The system will also serve as an open platform where the new innovations can go with it.

WiMAX aims to provide wireless data over long distances, in a variety of different ways, from point to point links to full mobile cellular type access. In practical terms this enables a user, for example, to browse the Internet on a laptop computer without physically connecting the laptop to a wall jack. '''[[Background Information]]''' '''Spectrum coverage by geography'''Image below shows the spectrum for WiMAX users World wide.[[Image:Spectrum1.jpg|center|800px|thumb|<font size = "3">'''Spectrum for WiMAX users World wide'''</font>]] '''Market research data:'''* Worldwide WiMAX equipment revenues are forecast to reach $3.26 billion in 2009 * Worldwide outdoor wireless mesh access node sales are forecast to reach $1.17 billion in 2009 * Samsung leads overall WiMAX equipment revenue share in 3Q06, ahead of Alvarion, Airspan, and Aperto Networks * Strix Systems leads overall outdoor mesh revenue market share in 3Q06, just ahead of Tropos Networks and BelAir Networks * 35% of WiMAX equipment sales come from Asia Pacific, 30% from EMEA, 20% from North America, and 14% from CALA * 49% of wireless mesh access node sales come from North America, 25% from EMEA, 18% from Asia Pacific, and 8% from CALA* 802.16 standards The first 802.16 standard was approved in December 2001. It delivered a standard for point to multipoint Broadband Wireless transmission in the 10-66 GHz band, with only a Line of Sight (LOS) capability. It uses a single carrier (SC) physical (PHY) standard. [http://www.bbwexchange.com/pubs/2006/12/05/page1421-371393.asp Source]
===Standards===
# [http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.16.2-2004.pdf IEEE 802.16-2004 (802.16d)] addresses only fixed systems
# [http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.16e-2005.pdf IEEE Std 802.16e-2005], also called mobile WiMaxWiMAX
#* 802.16e also bring Multiple Antenna Support through Multiple-input multiple-output communications. This brings potential benefits in terms of coverage, self installation, power consumption, frequency re-use and bandwidth efficiency. 802.16e also adds a capability for full mobility support.
# WiMAX II, 802.16m will be proposed for IMT-Advanced 4G (future development)
#* 3GPP LTE and WiMAX-m are concentrating much effort on MIMO-AAS, mobile multi-hop relay networking and related developments needed to deliver 10X and higher Co-Channel reuse multiples.
'''IEEE 802.16e-2005 improves upon IEEE 802.16-2004 by:'''
* Scaling of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to the channel bandwidth in order to keep the carrier spacing constant across different channel bandwidths (1.25-20 MHz). Constant carrier spacing results in a higher spectrum efficiency in wide channels, and a cost reduction in narrow channels. Also known as Scalable OFDMA (SOFDMA).
* Enhanced Fast Fourier Transform algorithm can tolerate larger delay spreads, increasing resistance to multipath interference
* Adding an extra QoS class (enhanced real-time Polling Service) more appropriate for VoIP applications.
* Adding support for mobility (soft and hard handover between base stations). This is seen as one of the most important aspects of 802.16e-2005, and is the very basis of 'Mobile WiMAX'.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX Source]====Technology mapping parameters====[[Image:Mobile_WiMax.jpg|center|800 px|thumbnail| [http://www.rncos.com/Report/COM26_toc.htm WiMax Mobility Access]]]

* Uplink based on SC-FDMA (single carrier) (SC-FDMA is technically similar to OFDMA but is better suited for uplink from hand-held devices- more considerations on battery power)
* Download rates of 100 Mbit/s, and upload rates of 50 Mbit/s for every 20 MHz of spectrum
* At least 200 active users in every 5 MHz cell. (ie 200 active phone calls)
* Optimal cell size of 5 km, 30 km sizes with reasonable performance, and up to 100 km cell sizes supported with acceptable performance
* Co-existence with legacy standards (users can transparently start a call or transfer of data in an area using an LTE standard, and, should coverage be unavailable, continue the operation without any action on their part using GSM/GPRS or W-CDMA-based UMTS)

High Speed OFDM Packet Access (HSOPA) is a proposed part of 3GPP's Long Term Evolution (LTE) upgrade path for UMTS systems. HSOPA is also often referred to as Super 3G. If adopted, HSOPA succeeds HSDPA and HSUPA technologies specified in 3GPP releases 5 and 6. Unlike HSDPA or HSUPA, HSOPA is an entirely new air interface system, unrelated to and incompatible with W-CDMA.
Features of HSOPA
* Flexible bandwidth usage with 1.25 MHz to 20 MHz bandwidths. By comparison, W-CDMA uses fixed size 5 MHz chunks of spectrum.
* Increased spectral efficiency at 2-4 times more than in 3GPP release 6, peak transfer rates of 100 Mbit/s for downlink and 50 Mbit/s for uplink.
HSOPA uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology to support up to 10 times as many users as W-CDMA based systems, with lower processing power required on each handset.[1]. Still in development, experimental performance is 37 Mbit/s in the downlink over a 5 MHz channel, close to the theoretical maximum of 40 Mbit/s.
==3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband==
The technology will provide users with concurrent IP-based services in a full mobility environment. The UMB standardization is expected to be completed in mid 2007, with commercialization taking place around mid-2009.
* OFDMA-based air interface
* Frequency Division Duplex
* IP network architecture
* Supports flat, centralized and mixed topologies
* Data speeds over 275 Mbit/s downstream and over 75 Mbit/s upstream [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Mobile_Broadband Source]
