HSPA+

Single Tx antenna (non MIMO)

LTE

Five different UE categories have been defined for LTE. These UE categories are often referred to as UE classes. As
can be seen in the table above, the low end UE does not support MIMO but the high end UE will support 4x4 MIMO.
It is also worth noting that UE class 1 would be inferior to that of the best HSPA UE. It is important to note that
regardless of whatever category a UE belongs to, it has to be capable of receiving transmissions from up to four
antenna ports. This is because the system information can be transmitted on up to four antenna ports.
