7 500 times growth in data traffic demands of 2010 in 2020 Explosive growth of mobile data traffic in recent years Region Korea Mobile Operator and Content Provider Examples From mid-2009 to mid-2010, KT recorded a 344% increase in 3G mobile data traffic, SK Telecom's traffic grew 232%, and LG's traffic grew 114%. KT expects a 49-fold increase in mobile device traffic from 2009 to 2012, but plans to offload 40 percent of this traffic. Japan Softbank's mobile traffic grew 260% from 1Q 2009 to 1Q 2010, according to estimates by HSBC. China KDDI expects mobile data traffic to grow 15-fold by China Unicom's 3G traffic increased 62% in a single quarter from Q1 to Q2 of France SFR's mobile data traffic has tripled each year since Italy Telecom Italia delivered 15 times more mobile data traffic in 2010 than in Europe Vodafone's European mobile data traffic increased 115% from 1Q 2009 to 2Q 2009, and 88% from 2Q 2009 to 2Q TeliaSonera expects mobile data traffic to double each year for the next 5 years. United AT&T reports that traffic grew 30-fold from 3Q 2009 to 3Q States Global Google reports that the number of YouTube videos delivered to mobile devices tripled in 2010, reaching 200 million video views per day. Cisco Forecast: by 2015, a 26-fold increase of mobile data traffic over 2010 Source: Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update,

8 Dominant application: Video Dominant devices: Laptops and smart phones by application category by device type CAGR Mobile Video 103.8% Mobile Web/Data 80.4% Mobile P2P 62.4% CAGR Laptops and Netbooks 85.0% Smartphones 115.9% Home Gateways 75.6% Source: Cisco VNI Mobile,

9 Divergent mobile devices Smart phone, tablet PC, laptop, etc. Dramatically increasing usage of existing applications Growth of internet services in mobile environment such as Mobile Internet, mobile music, mobile video, mobile TV, LBS, augmented reality, etc. Convergence Convergence of mobile communications and energy, healthcare, transportation, IT(e.g. for enterprise) create new applications: smart grid, ehealth, intelligent transportation (and other M2M communication applications), cloud computing, etc. 9

10 User experience improvement Higher data rate, lower latency, longer battery duration time, etc. Advanced operating systems with friendly user interface for mobile devices Cost reduction and price decrease Cost reduction of mobile communication network infrastructure Price decrease and flexible pricing schemes, e.g. flat rate mobile data pricing Policy to promote mobile broadband US FCC National Broadband Plan, EU Digital Agenda, etc. 10

12 Enhanced IMT-2000 capability Evolution of radio-access scheme Channel-dependent packet scheduling Higher-order modulation and MIMO Improved Layer 2 control, etc. Very high Mobility New capabilities of IMT-Advanced IMT-Advanced technologies*: LTE-Advanced (SRIT) WirelessMAN-Advanced (RIT) High IMT-2000 Enhanced IMT-2000 New Mobile Access Mobility Support low to very high mobility Low New Nomadic / Local Area Wireless Access Throughput / Capacity Support high throughput depending on user mobility Low /Mbps Peak data rate Peak data rate Support very high peak data rate, assuming sufficient spectrum * In Oct. 2010, ITU-R completed the assessment of candidate submissions for IMT-Advanced. The two technologies, LTE-Advanced (SRIT) and WirelessMAN- Advanced RIT were accorded the official designation of IMT-Advanced High Throughput Nomadic / Local Area Access Systems Digital Broadcast Systems 12

13 Network capacity improvement (in less than 3 years) Rollout of advanced networks Network optimization Mobile traffic offloading Fixed-Mobile network integration Network capacity improvement (in 5~10 years) Advanced cell deployment technology Spectrum efficiency improvement Additional new spectrum Such as smallcell deployment, HetNet, SDMA, etc. Improvement of RIT spectrum efficiency Allocation of additional new spectrum 13

15 Advanced Cell Deployment Cell splitting gain Spectrum Efficiency Almost saturated New Spectrum Depending on channel bandwidth Improvement Macro Pico/Femto or Distributed antenna SDMA Improvement: Collaborative Comm. Partial Meshing New PHY/MAC Improvement More than 5 times if CBW MHz Key Enablers: Site Acquisition Backhaul Infrastructure Small size light weight Key Enablers: Evolution of IMT-Advanced standard Key Enablers: Channel Aggregation Ultra Wideband Radio New Spectrum 15

16 Expected per-user bandwidth = System badwidth # users in a cell \ The smaller cells are, the more per-user throughput is expected data traffic Voice service IP over radio Multimedia and clouding 16

17 Essential to serve data traffic demands The question is when it needs, and how much it needs Capacity Traffic demands Required additional spectrum Time to require System capacity (based on current spectrum allocation) Time 17

18 Spectrum for IMT Identified IMT spectrum far less than required spectrum Required spectrum: 1280MHz (Low Market), 1720MHz (High Market) Even identified IMT spectrum is not fully used for IMT in a country. Identified spectrum amount for IMT by Region Region MHz (Global) 170 MHz (Regional) Region 2/3 715 MHz (Global) 262 MHz (Regional) Country-base 200MHz 18

19 Harmonization of IMT spectrum is key element for cost-efficient device markets Enabling global roaming & certification Economy of scale & cost reduction in manufacturing thereof Impact on handset costs Extra cost on a handset Resulting in a $30 (US) handset costing 800 million units per year (Global) 80 million units per year (China) 8 million units per year (Romania, Venezuela) 15 cents $1.5 $15 $30.15 $31.5 $45 * Source: GSMA at 19

20 Mobile business and subscribers are continually growing More than 500 times increase in traffic demands in 2020 Technology has been continually advanced and will be advanced in next decades However, even with the technology advance, spectrum is not be sufficient to serves the increased demands Additional spectrum is a key element for future mobile market Spectrum harmonization is also important that bring economy of scale of the product and future proof of the market 20
