How will these technology improvements for EDGE improve the user experience?
Reducing latency to improve the user experience of interactive services and also to enhance support for conversational services such as multimedia telephony Increasing peak and mean bit-rates, to improve best-effort services such as web browsing or music, picture and video up-/downloads Improving spectrum efficiency, which will particularly benefit operators where existing frequency spectrum is used to its maximum extent and traffic volume can be increased without compromising service performance or degrading perceived user quality Boosting service coverage; for example, through interference reduction or more robust services. Increased terminal sensitivity improves coverage in the noise limited scenario.
