  • Vulnerabilities of LTE and LTE- Advanced Communication White Paper
    Vulnerabilities of LTE and LTE- Advanced Communication White Paper Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology has become the technology of choice for keeping up with the requirement of higher throughput in mobile communication in bands below 6 GHz. It is expected that within the next decade LTE will become the primary commercial standard. LTE is often used to broadcast emergency information in times of natural disasters and national crises and is under investigation for further end use application in government as well as military application fields. Communication via LTE has some vulnerabilities. This drawback is a matter of concern since it is possible to completely take down the LTE network or at least partially block communication, intentionally with the help of jamming signals, or unintentionally through various forms of interference. An example of unintentional interference issues is the frequently discussed co-existence issues with Air Traffic Control (ATC) S-band radar and Digital TV bands. The in-device co-existence challenge is also a potentially important issue with the rapid evolution of multi-standard radios. This White Paper will focus on the vulnerabilities of LTE communication by explaining LTE jamming and unintentional interference problems, address the co- existence issues with other services, and discuss the mitigation options to build a broad perspective on the possible deployment of the LTE technology for future military and civil governmental applications. Understanding the susceptance of new technologies to known and expected environments is critical to the adoption for defense applications 1MA245_2e White Paper - Naseef Mahmud 9.2014 Table of Contents Table of Contents 1 Abstract……….

  • The 410 Mhz Opportunity for Mission- and Business-Critical Broadband
    The 410 MHz opportunity for mission- and business-critical broadband White paper As the migration from narrowband to broadband continues, a valuable opportunity is opening up to deploy broadband LTE in 3GPP spectrum bands 87 and 88. This white paper describes the performance, coverage and cost benefits of using low frequency bands, as well as the business models that are already emerging. Contents Introduction 3 The opportunity for mission-critical operators 3 The challenge of nationwide coverage and the need for low bands 3 The 410 MHz market 3 410-430 MHz spectrum use 3 First movers and the segment addressed 4 Business models 5 The ecosystem 5 How can Nokia help? 5 Mission-critical broadband experience 5 The end-to-end network, including 410 MHz ecosystem partners 5 Conclusion 6 2 White paper The 410 MHz opportunity for mission- and business-critical broadband Introduction The opportunity for mission-critical operators Historically, governments have owned and operated narrowband mission-critical wireless communications networks that provide group voice capabilities. But with growing pressure to protect against natural disasters and threats to the security of communities, today’s missions are becoming more complex. Consequently, governments now increasingly turn to new mobile broadband networks to put data applications in the hands of emergency responders. A multitude of industries that have long relied only on push-to-talk communications have also decided to implement today’s well-known broadband technologies for greater efficiency in their operations. The transportation industry and energy companies, for example, have made this choice. 3GPP LTE-based mobile broadband takes advantage of advanced modulation techniques that boost spectrum efficiency and data transfer speeds, going beyond what narrowband communications can offer.
