Overview
! GSM the most spectrally efficient voice system available Research using data from:
AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless, Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia, Nortel, Siemens Timo Halonen, Javier Romero, Juan Melero, GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance - GSM Evolution towards 3G/UMTS, May 13, 2002
Efficiency comes from a variety of sophisticated mechanisms GSM voice capacity matches or exceeds CDMA2000 1XRTT Further gains with EDGE and UMTS/WCDMA

Summary of Mechanisms
Evolution Stage
Earliest Current base line
Frequency Hopping
Interference and fading is frequency specific Frequency hopping provides frequency diversity and mitigates against interference Can enable tighter re-use (all the way to 1/1) BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) generally implemented on a non-hopping layer Frequency hopping employed on higher capacity layers Can hop over the entire available spectrum Effectiveness increases with increased spectrum

Re-use Patterns
4/12 Re-use. 4 cell sites each with three sectors. 12 groups of radio channels.
1/1 Re-use. Each sector uses the same pool of radio channels.
AMR can increase voice capacity by 150% Dynamically allocates bandwidth to voice or error control Enables other methods such as frequency hopping and higher fractional loading Provides better voice quality at cell edges and inside buildings Allows toll-quality voice in half-rate mode

Assumptions: 4/12 re-use for BCCH channels and 1/1 re-use on the hopping layer, a fractional frequency load of 25% with EFR and 52% with AMR, a grade of service with 2% blocking, 95% of the speech samples have a FER better than 2.5%, and there is an SDCCH every fourth carrier. The average GSM AMR coder rate is greater than 8 Kbit/s, making it comparable to 1XRTT EVRC 8 Kbit/s. A 200 kHz guard band is also assumed. Copyright 2002 Rysavy Research
Capacity Comparison
Data is based on infrastructure-vendor-agreed numbers that can be met in a realistic environment AMR provides dramatic performance improvement 16 times AMPS improvement 4 times TDMA improvement With Dynamic Frequency and Channel Allocation (DFCA), GSM exceeds 1XRTT voice capacity Further gains with Single-Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC)

Conclusion
Constant innovation with GSM White paper describes eight methods of increasing spectral efficiency No significant increase in terminal prices GSM matches or exceeds 1XRTT in capability, spectral efficiency and sophistication UMTS Multi-radio network provides smooth migration path and flexible network deployment options GSM has huge market advantage due to global coverage and economies of scale
