EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE is essentially a TDMA technology with higher level modulation and coding and combined timeslots & carriers to meet ITUs IMT2000 requirements for TDMA( IS136) and GSM systems Introduces concept of Link Adaptation in wireless for maximum throughput in variable radio conditions EDGE is a convergence of TDMA( IS 136) and GSM!

EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE is designed for easy and stepped migration towards 3G for both TDMA(IS 136) and GSM
Radio Net GPRS EDGE (EGPRS) Core Net GPRS
EDGE = EGPRS +ECSD Today(2002): some TDMA (IS136) operators have started to deploy Overlay GSM/GPRS Network .

The EDGE Radio Interface
Carrier Spacing = 200 kHz Frame Length = 4.6 ms split into 8 time slots Modulation Formats:
8-PSK, data channels GMSK, robust fall back, control channels
Interleaving over 4 Frames Link Quality Control:
Optimize Throughput w.r.t. the Radio Quality Combination of Link Adaptation and Incremental Redundancy... Data rate per Time Slot 8.8 - 59.2 kbps

EDGE
Classic System Concept
First 200 kHz carrier
4/12 reuse for BCCH, and Traffic. PBCCH Transmits continuously at constant power in the downlink. TS0 used for broadcast and common control. TS1 - 7 used for traffic and dedicated control.
Additional carriers in any reuse with TS0 - 7 used for traffic/dedicated control. Support for paging for TDMA/IS136 circuit switched. Minimum deployment: 12 carriers. Minimum spectrum requirement: 2.4 MHz plus guard bands.
2004 H. Hmimy SMU EE 8315 Advanced Topics in Wireless Communications - Spring04 Lecture 8, Slide 11
EDGE
COMPACT System Concept
First 200 kHz carrier
1/3 reuse. CPBCCH Transmits discontinuously ( at certain time). Synchronization of base stations and time split into four time groups provide an effective 4/12 reuse for broadcast and common control channels on parts of TS1,3,5,7. All Traffic and dedicated channels on the rest of TS are reuse 1/3.
Additional carriers in 1/3 reuse with TS0 - 7 used for traffic. Support for paging for TDMA/136 circuit switched. Minimum deployment: 3 carriers, 0.6 MHz plus guard bands.

For GSM operators
Remember
There is a Base station synchronization concept in GSM
GSM BTS synch is used only on the traffic channels TCH that has FH in Fractional loading planning (FLP)to avoid Cochannel and adjacent channel interference in reuse 1/3 and smaller. The BCCH is transmitting continuously with 5/15 and higher reuse.
In EDGE the CPBCCH reuse need to be reduced to 1/3. The traffic PDTCH is already at 1/3 (Do you need FH in EDGE?.)

Radio Access (Air Interface)

Quality-of-Service: What, Why?
Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability of a network element (e.g.
an application, host or router) to have some level of assurance that its traffic and service requirements can be satisfied. Newer applications with multimedia content Demands of convergence More bandwidth ? User perception of service quality can be translated to network flow parameters such as delay and delay variation.
2004 H. Hmimy
SMU EE 8315 Advanced Topics in Wireless Communications - Spring04
Lecture 8, Slide 50
EDGE
Guidelines for providing QoS to users
QoS perceived by the user must be end-to-end. Parameters defining QoS of a flow must be fewer and simpler. QoS definition must be compatible with all kinds of applications. Must be able to quantify and enforce.
2004 H. Hmimy
SMU EE 8315 Advanced Topics in Wireless Communications - Spring04
Lecture 8, Slide 51
EDGE
UMTS-specific requirements
QoS parameter control on peer to peer basis between mobile and 3G gateway node UMTS QoS control mechanism should map applications QoS profile to UMTS services. Applications may be required to state their QoS requirement. UMTS QoS capable services should work with other networking architectures. Only finite set of QoS definitions supported.
2004 H. Hmimy
SMU EE 8315 Advanced Topics in Wireless Communications - Spring04
Lecture 8, Slide 52
EDGE
UMTS-specific requirements (contd.)
Multiple traffic streams per session. Lower overhead for QoS related operations; higher resource utilization. Re-negotiation should be possible after QoS parameter values have been agreed upon - dynamic QoS. User mobility should be supported in the QoS framework.

Header + Padding Overhead EDGE R99
Overhead Calculation Example 1:
MCS-1, Bulk PDU 50B 50bytes 101 bytes including headers (51 bytes per TCP segment) 5 RLC PDUs=110 bytes including padding
Modulation and Coding Scheme MCS 1 MCS 5 MCS 9 Application PDU size (octets) 50 1000 50 1000 50 1000 RLC PDU payload size (octets) 22 56 148 Number of RLC PDUs (octets) 5 51 2 2 1 8 Total Data (octets) 110 1122 112 1120 148 1184 Overhead % 54.5 10.9 55.4 10.7 66.2 15.5
Example 2:
MCS-9, Bulk PDU 1kB 1000/536 =1 complete TCP segment + 464 bytes 1000+2*51 =1102 bytes including headers 1102/148 =8 RLC PDUs=1184 bytes including padding OH= (1184-1000)/1184=15.5%
