Abstract

The deployment of third generation (3G) systems such as Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and code division multiple access (CDMA) 1X is now ubiquitous. Furthermore, several operators have already deployed evolved 3G systems such as high speed packet access (HSPA) and 1x evolution data optimized (1x EV-DO). These 3G and evolved 3G systems are based on spread spectrum technologies. Now the industry has begun to focus on next-generation wireless systems based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology flat-Internet Protocol (IP) architectures, and advanced multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) capabilities. These next-generation technologies, primarily are: 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)-based evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (EUTRAN), also called Long Term Evolution (LTE); 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2)-based Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB); and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802. 16e-based Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). These technologies are in the final specifications to initial deployment phases in selected markets. This paper provides an overview and performance analysis of these next-generation technologies based on their initial releases. Additionally a comparative performance analysis of these technologies is also presented. © 2009 Alcatel-Lucent.
