Future LTE Migration Plan

- From 3Q 2012, VoLTE service will be provided by

3 operators

- Due to mobile data traffic explosion, Mobile

operator may deploy multi carrier LTE from 2H

2012

- When CA (Carrier Aggregation) capable terminal

is available, CA service may be provided in 2013

- LTE network may be migrated to LTE-Adv.

4 key topics

Beyond IMT-Adv. Potential Issues

• Wider Spectrum – More than 100 MHz bandwidth

– Higher than 3 GHz spectrum (3.4 ~ 4.2, 4.4~ 4.9 GHz)

• Green Networks and Devices – Lower power consumption and lower power transmission

– 1/1000 energy consumption in next 10 years

• Special purpose network – PPDR (Public Protection and Disaster Relief) – City/Community/Smart Grid network

• New network Topology and Medium – Heterogeneous network interworking – Femto, Relay, RRH

– mmWave/sub Terra Hertz (60 ~ 300 GHz) – Light (Infrared or Visible light, Laser )
