Title :
4 GHz for 4G: Why, How and When?
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The unprecedented high mobile data rate objectives of 4G and the convergence of mobile, nomadic and fixed wireless access require substantially larger bandwidths than for 3G, and thus new frequency bands. This requirement is on the WRC-07 agenda. ITU-R Working Party 8F is developing inputs to WRC-07 for this agenda item. Specific proposals have been made for the use of 4 GHz bands. Field trials conducted in the 4 GHz and 6 GHz bands established feasibility of viable deployment. ITU-R standardization and regulatory actions are in progress and existing technological capabilities enable timely deployment
