4 Sunday TD-LTE Technology and Spectrum Workshop - in Partnership with China Mobile WS07 10.00-13.00 Abu Dhabi B With the explosive growth in mobile data traffic, the mobile communication industry is facing the challenge of spectrum availability. Unpaired spectrum becomes advantageous to meet the demand of the asymmetric nature of Internet traffic. TD-LTE technology, with its flexibility in resource and spectrum configuration, has the potential to efficiently utilize unpaired spectrum. Commercial TD-LTE networks have been launched in global markets. The 2nd TD-LTE Technology and Spectrum Workshop, hosted by ITU, China Mobile, GTI and TDIA, will bring together regulators, operators and vendors to share the state-of-the-art of TD-LTE ecosystem. Representatives of Chinese government will present the efforts to promote the TD-LTE spectrum planning to expedite the development of mobile broadband. Pioneering operators will introduce the commercialization practices of TD-LTE at major TDD bands such as 2.3GHz, 2.6GHz and 3.5GHz in the markets around the globe. With the scarcity of spectrum, the allocation of 3.5GHz to TDD will also be advocated. 70 workshops
