Spectrum and Plan of Chinese Operators

2G/3G frequencies Spectrum
• China government has no
plan to release lower band for
4G yet
• At least two operators should
deploy TDD system to support
TD-LTE

Operators’ Plan
Un-allocated 2G/3G frequencies China Mobile:
 50MHz on 2.3GHz (TDD) only for indoor scenario
• TDD 2.6+2.3
• Bidding process, 207K BS
China Telecom:
• FDD 2.1/1.8 + TDD 2.6
• Bidding process
2.6GHz frequencies
 All the 190MHz is assigned as TD-LTE band
China Unicom
• FDD or FDD+TDD
