A new frequency band was auctioned in the USA in 2006. This band, the so-called Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) band, is located at 1700 MHz for uplink and at 2100MHz for downlink. WCDMA deployment at that band has already started. The AWS band uplink happens to be within the GSM1800 uplink band and the downlink is within the UMTS downlink band at 2GHz. The coexistence of GSM and WCDMA in the same frequency band needs to be taken into account in the network planning. The new IMT-2000 band around 2.6 GHz with a total 190 MHz spectrum will soon be available for the deployment of IMT-2000 and other mobile systems. In Europe, the spectrum includes 2×70 MHz for FDD systems and 50 MHz in the middle gap that could be used, for example, for TDD.7 The same 2.6 GHz spectrum is also available for mobile usage, including IMT-2000, in the USA. The band is already licensed and is likely to be used for TDD deployments due to the operator spectrum being more in line with the TDD arrangement. The IMT-2000 mobile spectrum is around 2 GHz around 800~900 MHz and at 2.6 GHz. The WCDMA system is specified in 3GPP for all the frequency bands. There are further frequencies where WCDMA specification and deployment are also considered, including the 700 MHz band in USA, the 2.3 GHz (Wireless Communication Services (WCS)) band in the USA and part of the existing broadcast frequencies between 400 and 700 MHz. Requirements for Third-Generation Systems The second-generation systems were built mainly to provide speech services in macro cells. To understand the background to the differences between second-generation systems, we need to look at the new requirements of the third-generation systems, which are listed below:8 ? Bit rates up to 2 Mbit/s; ? Variable bit rate to offer bandwidth on demand; ? Multiplexing of services with different quality requirements on a single connection, e.g. speech, video a
