LTE is the Global standard for Next Generation FDD and TDD

LTE Targets
High data rates

Downlink: >100 Mbps

Uplink: >50 Mbps
Cell-edge data rates 2-3 x HSPA Rel. 6 (@ 2006)

Low delay/latency

User plane RTT: < 10 ms RAN RTT (fewer nodes, shorter TTI)
Channel set-up: < 100 ms idle-to-active (fewer nodes, shorter messages, quicker node resp.)

High spectral efficiency

Targeting 3 X HSPA Rel. 6 (@ 2006 )

Spectrum flexibility

Operation in a wide-range of spectrum allocations, new and existing

Wide range of Bandwidth: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, FDD and TDD

Simplicity Less signaling, Auto Configuration e-NodeB

PnP, Simple as an apple

Cost-effective migration from current/future 3G systems

State-of-the-art towards 4G
Focus on services from the packet-switched domain
