Hi,

yes there are some network, even in Europe where FDD-TDD Ho is used. However main use of LTE TDD is for data services only (ISP like services).

I had discussion with operator people which is running such network. I am sorry, i cannot tell you more. One hand we did not talk much about TDD. On the other hand it is confidential (and i do not wish to loose my job).

I believe the general strategy is to push TDD capable UEs as much as possible onto TDD network, so that FDD could serve normal UEs easier. Obviously not a rocket science.

Thank for the basic information.
Just wonder is it possible HO TDD & FDD?
May i know which country or vendor have start this trial or already success?
