The city-scale TD-LTE trials are expected to start in April with dozens of base stations installed to complete the conditions for small-scale tests.

Early CWW reported China Mobile TD-LTE Test will be divided into two phases. The first stage of examining the basic performance of TD-LTE network, key technology, planning and optimization, and networking technology; the second phase of interoperability testing and certification different manufacturers, end to end business experience, LTE and 2G/TD interoperability, network management, namely, fees functional requirements and the timely payment of user-friendly, assess user experience.

The city's first phase of construction of TD-LTE is expected to be completed before July, then embarks on a comprehensive test. Under the first phase of follow-up plan the construction and test results arrangements.

According to the plan, TD-LTE test network size is mainly for the commercial deployment of a comprehensive verification system to do all the tests are the actual contents of the target business. Pilot-scale TD-LTE test procedures in accordance with the specific development of the industry chain to develop, test network to deploy specific start time, steps, test the content and timing will be announced by the Ministry of Industry.

The official pointed out, which is different from the TD-SCDMA trial network structures age group level in the current round of China Mobile TD-LTE test will play an important role in the scale, TD-SCDMA network construction, and will not become a partnership of TD- LTE test equipment supplier selected for the scale of the main reasons.

A source revealed that Beijing has not released demo TD-LTE network, but the news are quite different. Meanwhile, Huawei (Shenzhen), ZTE (Guangzhou), Nokia Siemens Networks (Hangzhou), Alcatel-Lucent (Shanghai), Tang (Nanjing) in the corresponding construction of the city  independent TD-LTE network is variable, the industry that are now talking about independent cities, equipment manufacturers building a single TD-LTE test network  is still too early. Based on the initial TD-SCDMA trial network equipment manufacturers in more than a single cross-network construction history of the city, is expected to scale TD-LTE trials in a single city. There is the possibility of multiple network equipment manufacturers.
