17 Inquiry Based Session When proprietary solutions are attractive instead of standards? How do you think a standardisation body (like e.g. 3GPP) works?

18 2. Cellular Networks

19 Area Coverage Networks / Cellular Networks Service Area One base per cell with omnidirect. antenna system Handover

20 Area Coverage Networks / Cellular Networks 2G: FDD DL UL 3G: FDD 4G: FDD/TDD Downlink and Uplink

21 Area Coverage Networks / Cellular Networks FDD Intra-cell interference is absent if orthogonal RUs are used

22 Area Coverage Networks / Cellular Networks FDD UL/UL or DL/DL Intra-cell interference with non-orthogonal RUs

23 Area Coverage Networks / Cellular Networks FDD UL/UL and DL/DL Inter-cell interference if reuse is implemented
