Driving forces behind LTE
Spectrum flexibility:
– Use of new, re-farmed or unused spectrum
– FDD and TDD
– Variable channel bandwidth
Performance:
– Higher peak rates
– Higher bandwidth
– Designed for ”always on applications” from start
Cost:
– IP-based flat Network Architecture
(no circuit switched domain)
– Low OPEX
– Simpler operation with less to configure and higher degree
of self configuration
3GPP LTE performance
High data rates

– Downlink: >100 Mbps
– Uplink: >50 Mbps

What is a Generation?
4th Generation (WRC-07, ITU, global spectrum)
4G – IMT-Advanced
3rd Generation (WARC-92 & WRC-2000, ITU, global

spectrum)
3G – IMT-2000 (WCDMA/HSPA & cdma2000 EV-DO)
– Evolved 3G (LTE and EV-DO rev C)
2nd Generation (1980’s, CEPT)

2G – GSM, PDC & cdmaOne
1st Generation (1970’s, national spectrum)

1G – NMT, AMPS & TACS
A Generation is defined by a technology and spectrum harmonization event

IMT-Advanced
- more bandwidth needed
• Increased voice traffic

• Increase in information based traffic
• New capable services require high data rates
-> need for an enhanced radio technology,

providing yet higher peak data rates and shorter
delays

Conclusions
Demand for Mobile broadband
HSPA, already a huge commercial success
HSPA on par with fixed

broadband and evolving (40-80Mbps)
LTE for increased performance

(>150Mb/s) and cost efficiency
