Paired and unpaired Spectrum

In the auctions for mobile frequency most of the spectrum sales have been for paired spectrum.that means the uplink and downlink work in pairs. One downside of this is that usually there is much more traffic to a mobile via downlink rather than the uplink. Additionally, as part of the auctions unpaired spectrum was sold.
How is unpaired spectrum used? We cannot use the same methods as with paired spectrum as the same channel has to be used for up and down links. The transmissions on unpaired channels is via TDD. This actually balances the up and down links. Time Division Duplex, allows for asymmetrical data communications as the channel is allocated on demand thus an efficient way to use the spectrum.

2016 was crossover year where over 50% of Internet traffic was driven by mobiles rather than laptops or desktops. The (smart)phone in your pocket is a very powerfull computer with fact connectivity.
The first mobile appeared in 1990 with the aim of providing mobile phone calls. Since then SMS messages were added as a secondary communication medium. The Internet was added in 2001 with the advent of WAP technology. Since then the phones and communications have developed to the modern ubiquitous smartphones of today.
Fast access to the Internet is key to the contemporary mobile phone user. It is needed to support many mobile apps, to deliver fast social media apps and information via the billions of Internet sites. What next? Your guess is as good as mine, but most observers believe that "artificial intelligence" will grow over the next few years.
