Okay just a little confused one part, this could either be clarification for me or the fact I could just be correcting you a little.

When you said in the example with 7 slots for TDD and 5 being used for Downlink and 2 being used for Uplink, wouldn't having 5/7 slots for Downlink create more speed then? Because Uplink is only 2/7?

I'm just going off common knowledge where more slots equal more speed but I could be totally wrong here. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You're absolutely right, I just explained it poorly. I just meant overall TDD can prioritise uplink over downlink if needed. I'll try find out the exact speeds per slot later, I can't remember what they are myself.

Brilliant, that makes perfect sense now. That's probably why FDD gets used more in Europe than TDD with TDD used only to fill in the gaps to ease congestion and for speed increases once it is carrier aggregated of course.

Ofcom have approved the transfer to Vodafone and Three:



Ofcom has today set out a decision to grant consent to two trades of spectrum in the 1452-1492 MHz band.

The trades involve the transfer of rights and obligations relating to:

the 1452-1472 MHz frequencies, from Qualcomm UK Spectrum Ltd to Vodafone Limited; and
the 1472-1492 MHz frequencies, from Qualcomm UK Spectrum Ltd to Hutchison 3G UK Limited.
Ofcom received the trade applications in August 2015, and has considered them under the Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Spectrum Trading) Regulations 2011 – as amended in 2015.

It will be possible to use spectrum in these frequencies for mobile or fixed communication network supplemental downlink (SDL) in the UK.

SDL is a new mobile broadband technology which, using a mobile base station transmitter network, provides additional bandwidth to deliver improved capacity for consumer mobile broadband services. Improved capacity can help service providers send more data to consumer devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, at faster speeds.

Today’s statement explains that Ofcom does not consider that the transfers raise sufficient competition concerns to warrant further analysis.
