Specific requirements of the IMT-Advanced report included:

1- Based on an all-Internet Protocol (IP) packet switched network

2- Interoperability with existing wireless standards
3- A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically
moves at high speeds relative to the station,50 Mbit /s in the uplink
and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in relatively fixed
positions.
4- Dynamically share and use the network resources to support more
simultaneous users per cell.
5- Scalable channel bandwidth 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 15 MHz
and 20 MHz optionally up to 40
6- Peak link spectral efficiency of 15 bit/s/Hz in the downlink, and
6.25bit/s/Hz in the uplink (meaning that 1 Gbit/s in the downlink
should be possible over less than 67 MHz bandwidth)
7- System spectral efficiency of up to 3 bit/s/Hz/cell in the downlink
and 2.25 bit/s/Hz/cell for indoor usage
8- Seamless connectivity and global roaming across multiple
networks with smooth handovers
9- Ability to offer high quality of service for multimedia support
10- support antenna configurations
a- Downlink 42, 22, 12, 11
b- Uplink 12, 11
11- coverage
a- full performance up to 5 km
b-slight degradation 5 km-30 km
c-operation up to 100 km should not be precluded by standard
Chapter 1: Overview of Long Term Evolution (LTE)

1-4
12- mobility
a- optimized for low speed less than 15 km per hour
b-high performance at speeds up to 120 km per hour
c-maintain link at speeds up to 350 km per hour
13- LTE support efficient broadcast mode performance :multicast and
broadcast
14- broadcast spectral efficiency 1bit /sec/Hz
15- LTE support paired and unpaired frequency band
16- It support FDD and TDD, half duplex TDD
17- Support adaptive modulation technique: High level and low level
modulation
18- Support scalable FFT size
19- It support turbo code
20- It support low complexity low cost terminal
21- Support VOIP 60 session /Hz/cell

22- Support of cell sizes from tens of meters of radius (femto and Pico
cells) up to over 100 km radius microcells
23- Simplified architecture: The network side of EUTRAN is
composed only by the enodeBs.
24- Low data transfer latencies (sub-5ms latency for small IP packets
in optimal conditions), lower latencies for handover and connection
setup time.
