What is LTE ?

Robust modulation in dense

A common evolution path environments
OFDMA OFDMA (DL) / SC-FDMA (UL) Increased spectral
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the efficiency. Simplified Rx design Cheaper UE
Scalable - go beyond 5 MHz limitation
next generation broadband
wireless technology for 3GPP
and 3GPP2 networks Increased link capacity

MIMO Multiple-input, multiple-output UL& DL.

Collaborative MIMO (UL).
Enabling new applications, Overcome multi-path interference
lowering cost
Flat, scalable
Peer to peer applications
requiring high throughput Flat IP Short TTI: 1 ms (2 ms for HSPA).
based on IP / MPLS transport.
Backhaul
Fits
Online gaming
with IMS, VoIP, SIP
Flat fee trend

A taste of 4G based on highly efficient technologies

* Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
