EDGE Technology

EDGE Technology
Evolutionary path to 3G services for GSM and TDMA operators Builds on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) air interface and networks Phase 1 (Release99 & 2002 deployment) supports best effort packet data at speeds up to about 384 kbps Phase 2 (Release2000 & 2003 deployment) will add Voice over IP capability

GPRS Airlink
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Same GMSK modulation as GSM 4 channel coding modes Packet-mode supporting up to about 144 kbps Flexible time slot allocation (1-8) Radio resources shared dynamically between speech and data services Independent uplink and downlink resource allocation

EDGE Airlink
Extends GPRS packet data with adaptive modulation/coding 2x spectral efficiency of GPRS for best effort data 8-PSK/GMSK at 271 ksps in 200 KHz RF channels supports 8.2 to 59.2 kbps per time slot Supports peak rates over 384 kbps Requires linear amplifiers with < 3 dB peak to average power ratio using linearized GMSK pulses Initial deployment with less than 2x 1 MHz using 1/3 reuse with EDGE Compact as a complementary data service

Conversion of GPRS to EGPRS

EGPRS introduces changes to GPRS only on the base station system part of the network.

Requirements on EDGE
EDGE- and non-EDGE-capable mobile stations should be able to share one and the same time slot. EDGE- and non-EDGE-capable transceivers should be deployable in the same spectrum. A partial introduction of EDGE should be possible. It was so decided that two classes of terminals should be supported by the EDGE standard: A terminal that provides 8PSK capability in the downlink only, and A terminal that provides 8PSK in the uplink and downlink.

EDGE Benefits
Short-term benefits: Capacity and performance Mid-term benefits: Complementary technology Long-term benefit: Harmonization with WCDMA

For Operator:
Migration to wireless multimedia services

Improved customer satisfaction


Quick network implementation Optimized network investment as GSM enhancement

Benefits to End Users


Improved quality of service
Personal multimedia services Potentially lower price per bit

Conclusion
EDGE is a 3G technology offering a common migration path and convergence for GSM and TDMA operators EDGE Compact can be deployed with < 2x 1 MHz of spectrum EDGE supports IP packet data at peak rates > 384 kbps Voice over IP is planned for EDGE R2000 standards
