evolved into a 2.5G standard with the introduction of packet data
transmission technology (GPRS) and higher data rates via higher

Finally, current and future handsets will most likely be multimhode devices, with 30 capabilities. This suggests that
enhancing 20&2.50 capabilities to be on par with 30
capabilities will be feasible with onily a ma-rginial increase in
the overall dua mode device complexity.
Driven by such motivations, theo 0ERAN standardization
organization (namely 30PP, www.3gpp ora) has been
continuing to enhance the capabilities of GERAN both at the
Physical Layer as well as higher layers. In this section, we will
give an overview of these efforts. We will see that some of
these einhancements have already been standardized (in
Release 6 of 0ERAN) and even implemented, while others are
being actively standardized (Work Items for Release 7&8 Of
0ERAN), wvhile yet otheors are being stuidied for
standardization (Stuidy items for Releases 7&8 of 0ERAN).

Finally, note that dual carrier usage will have some impact on
the MS design. For example, with dual carriers m the
downlink, the RF front end may be designed with two separate
Rx filters or a single wideband filter. Similarly, if dual carriers
are used in the plink, the peak-to-average ratio of the
modulated signals will increase. This in turn requires a larger
power amplifier backof Figure 11 and 12 compare the peakto-average ratios for 8PSK modulation with single and dual
carriers. Note that the PAPR increases to a maximum of 6 dB
with dual carriers.
