LTE stands for Long Term Evolution and is about the dramatic improvement of the current 3G wireless networks. The main goal of LTE is to provide a very fast wireless mobile services which will eventually replace the existing 2G...

LTE specifications can be accessed free of charge on 3GPP's web site, <www.3gpp.org>. The third generation partnership project is also the body that standardizes GSM and UMTS wireless systems as well interoperability...

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R) is in the process of defining a framework which will define 4G by setting the minimum requirements for next generation networks. This framework is referred to as IMT-Advanced...

An important goal of LTE standardization is coexistence with second and third generation networks which will be in use for foreseeable future. LTE standards allow seamless mobility with 3GPP family of networks (GSM and UMTS) as...

LTE will use a number of techniques to achieve an efficient use of the available spectrum, measured in bits/seconds/Hertz. Among these techniques we find Higher-Order-Modulation (up to 64QAM), Multiple Antenna Techniques such...

LTE deployments cannot be done as an upgrade to existing infrastructure as has been the case for ceratin standards such as CDMA2000. Due to a radically different Radio Access Technology (RAT), use of multiple antenna techniques...

There are three main mobile wireless standards based on cellular technology which are competing (and sometimes complementing each other) as 4th generation networks. These are WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access...
