Mobile Unicom Gaming VoLTE: Analysis of Eight Implementation Plans
Previously, China Unicom applied to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to transfer certain frequency resources in the 900 band of China Mobile to China Unicom. China Mobile rejected the request from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and China Unicom on the grounds that the existing network 2G services were saturated and the frequency points in the 900 band could not be vacated.
Therefore, China Unicom can only wait for China Mobile to complete VoLTE before it can vacate the GSM frequency currently occupied by China Mobile. Only in this way can the spectrum allocation plan for the 900 band be changed and China Unicom be able to obtain the spectrum from the 900 band occupied by China Mobile. part of frequency resources.
By the end of 2017, when China Mobile has 750 million 4G users, 550 million VoLTE users, only 100 million 2G users left, and only 300 million 4G CSFB users, China Mobile will definitely actively apply for an FDD license. The reason is that the 2G business volume in the 900 and 1800 frequency bands has dropped significantly, and the frequencies can be re-farmed for the development of 4G.
At this time, China Unicom has the opportunity to apply to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to appropriately transfer some spectrum resources of China Mobile's 900 frequency band to China Unicom to supplement the unreasonable pattern of China Unicom's 900 frequency band having only 6MHz.
Of course, China Mobile is not a vegetarian, and will not hand over the 900 band frequency so easily. China Unicom wants to take the 900 band. The frequency is OK, but the 1800 band frequency must be exchanged.
My personal estimate, There are several options:
Option 1: China Mobile hands over the 4MHz frequency in the 900 band to China Unicom , China Unicom handed over the 5MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;
Option 2: Move Hand over the 4MHz frequency in the 900 band to China Unicom, and China Unicom will hand over the 10MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;
Option 3: Mobile handover The 4MHz frequency in the 900 band was given to China Unicom, and China Unicom handed over the 15MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;
Option 4: China Mobile will hand over the 4MHz frequency in the 900 band to China Unicom, and China Unicom will hand over the 20MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;
Option 5: China Mobile will hand over the 9MHz frequency in the 900 band to China Unicom, and China Unicom will hand over the 10MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;
Option 6: China Mobile will hand over the 9MHz frequency in the 900 band to China Unicom, and China Unicom will hand over the 15MHz frequency in the 1800 band to China Mobile;

First of all, China Mobile only has 19MHz of GSM frequency resources in the 900 band. It is unlikely that 9MHz will be allocated to China Unicom. In this way, China Unicom’s frequency resources in the 900 band will be smaller than China Unicom’s. There are too many mobile phones, which is obviously unacceptable to China Mobile. In this case, only 10MHz of frequency resources are left in the 900 frequency band of China Mobile, which is not conducive to the development of 4G.
So, the possibilities of options 5 to 8 are not possible. Large.
Secondly, if China Mobile hands over the 4MHz frequency to China Unicom, since the frequency resources in the 900 band are more precious than the frequency resources in the 1800 band, it is obviously impossible for China Unicom to just return it to China Mobile. 5MHz 1800 band frequency resource.
Option 1 is not very likely.
The most likely options are options two to four.
China Unicom has 30MHz frequency resources in the 1800 band. Currently, 10MHz is used for GSM and 20MHz is used for LTE. To be honest, it is too rich.
Because China Unicom is still in the 2100 band. It has 40MHz of frequency resources. Currently, only 10MHz is used for WCDMA, and the other 30MHz is idle and can be used for LTE in the future.
After China Unicom withdraws from the GSM network, it can completely free up at least 10MHz of the 1800 band frequency for mobile communication. Swap the 900 band frequency.
So China Mobile uses the 4MHz frequency in the 900 band in exchange for China Unicom's 1800 band frequency, 10MHz, 15MHz, or 20MHz? It depends on the game between the two parties.
Of course, China Mobile also uses the 1800 band frequency After all, the 1800 band is the most mainstream 4G band, and the performance is still very good when building networks in cities.
So China Mobile also has the motivation and enthusiasm to exchange a small amount of 900 band frequencies for more 1800 band frequencies. .
Don’t expect the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to help China Unicom in this matter. The three major operators are all sons of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and their palms and backs are full of flesh. They have to rely on China Mobile and China Unicom to compete on their own.
