China Mobile and Nokia Siemens Networks conduct TD-LTE Femtocell demo

Source:Nokia Siemens Network Press Release

China Mobile Communications Corporation (China Mobile) and Nokia Siemens Networks have successfully demonstrated how to ensure excellent indoor coverage for future mobile broadband. The two companies have conducted the world’s first TD-LTE femtocell demonstration. Nokia Siemens Networks’ innovation aims to support future TD-LTE rollouts, a next generation mobile broadband technology.



User habits indicate that the majority of mobile broadband capacity will be consumed inside homes and offices where coverage is typically lower than outdoor spaces,” said Huang Xiaoqing, General Manager of China Mobile Research Institute. “Miniature wireless base stations like Femtocells can improve the indoor service experience of our customers. Further more, TD-LTE Femtocells can fully leverage the advantages of TDD frequency, provide a fast and flexible indoor coverage solution and effectively manage network capacity and cost.”

Nokia Siemens Networks’ Beijing research team demonstrated a live streaming video downlink application using a compact experimental Femtocell prototype in China Mobile’s Research Institute laboratory. The demonstration achieved throughputs which exceed the typical xDSL speed currently possible via residential broadband connections.

“LTE is around the corner and we are doing everything to ensure its rapid deployment in networks around the world,” said Stephan Scholz, CTO at Nokia Siemens Networks. “This demo – the world’s first –highlights our innovative research leadership in LTE.”

A forerunner in LTE, Nokia Siemens Networks has played a pioneering role in China’s home grown technology standard TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE development. Following the industry’s first TD-LTE lab demonstrations conducted with China Mobile in 2008, the company has further expanded its R&D team in Hangzhou and Beijing, China, to support the commercial roll out of TD-LTE.

Qualcomm Takes Lead as 4G Patent Holder

Qualcomm looks set to be the leading patent holder in 4G wireless communications after recording 24% of ETSI declarations surrounding LTE, as well as 16% of the 26,000 patents that have potential relevance to 4G technologies generally, including WiMAX. Other notable players in the LTE field include Interdigital (18%), Huawei (10%), LG (9%), Nokia (9%) and Samsung (7%). When considering the whole 4G environment Samsung takes second spot with 12% of all patent filings, and Nokia takes third with 6%. Stuart Carlaw, chief research officer at ABI Research, comments, “Innovation in this space continues unabated. Given that these declarations reflect work completed 18 months ago, it is very feasible that this landscape could shift again during the coming two years as we see the 4G market ramp up.” He goes on to add that, “We see no major reason why the licensing situation in 4G will be significantly different from that for 3G. There is still a big list of ‘haves’ but also a large list of ‘...
