LTE Advanced Opportunistic HetNets

Demonstration of small-cells dynamically turning on/off based on proximate users, a feature important for the very dense small cell deployments as envisioned to meet the 1000x data challenge. The demo utilizes our live over-the-air LTE Advanced small-cell network in San Diego, and features live communication between the MWC booth and the test van in San Diego. It also incorporates relay nodes and shows the coexistence of HetNets range expansion (eICIC-IC) and VoLTE service.

Authorized Shared Access (ASA)

Joint demo between Qualcomm and Nokia Siemens Networks illustrating the ASA concept and its suitability for small cells with live simulated network capacity benefits. ASA is a complementary spectrum licensing approach to get access to 100s of MHz of underutilized spectrum, currently used by incumbents such as military and government agencies.

Neighborhood Small Cells

Demonstration of the innovative small cell deployment model proposed by Qualcomm that is a key enabler to meet the 1000x data challenge. It illustrates how unplanned deployment of indoor small cells not only provide much needed indoor capacity, but also cater to outdoor capacity in the vicinity while offering good coverage. The demo utilizes our live over-the-air small-cell network in San Diego to demonstrate some of the interference and mobility management techniques that are part of Qualcomm’s enabling UltraSON suite of techniques.

HSPA+ Supplemental Downlink with Ericsson

This live over-the-air joint demo with Ericsson (at Ericsson's HSPA station), shows how Supplemental Downlink (SDL) can effectively increase the capacity for downlink heavy apps by combining unpaired L-band spectrum with downlink of paired spectrum. SDL is a key spectrum initiative in meeting 1000x challenge. The demo features Ericsson's commercial ready base station and Qualcomm devices.

Scalable-UMTS

Joint demo by Qualcomm demonstrating UMTS/HSPA+ in <5MHz (½ and ¼ carrier) bandwidths, which enables operators to rapidly refarm all of their GSM spectrum to HSPA+, and allows maximum utilization of all spectrum resources. This demo features commercial BTS and Qualcomm’s MDP test devices.
