Welcome to the world of LTE!
What is LTE?
LTE is the next generation of Mobile broadband
technology

Data rates of 100 Mbps

It is the next level after UMTS 3G technology

Works with IP!

Advantages
Provides low latency

Higher network throughput

Increased data transfer speed

More cost effectiveness

Improvements over 3G network

LTE v/s Other technologies
2G to 4G Evolution and data download rates

2G 3G
(14.4 (14.4 4G (1
Kbps) Mbps) Gbps)

2.5G LTE
(384 (100
Kbps) Mbps)
What is an LTE Network made up of?
LTE Technologies
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) for downlink

SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division

Multiple Access) for uplink

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)

SAE (System Architecture Evolution)

LTE Architecture

Source: Ericsson (2009)

LTE Network Elements
Evolved Node B (eNB)
Supports air interface
Provides radio resource management functions

Serving Gateway (SGW)

Provides Mobility
Responsible for Routing and Forwarding
LTE Network Elements (Continued)
Packet Data Network Gateway (PDN GW)
Provides connectivity to Internet
Provides QoS and mobility between 3G and non-3G
networks
Mobility Management Entity (MME)
Manages mobility and provides security
Operates in control plane and provides
authentication
What does the future hold for LTE?
LTE Future and Uses
Mass deployment to begin around 2012

Devices which are covered under LTE are

Mobile phones, laptops, cameras, camcorders

Assured interoperability with older wireless

technologies such as GSM, WCDMA/HSPA,
CDMA, TD-SCDMA
LTE Advanced
Mobile Communication Standard
As a major enhancement of the 3GPP LTE Standard
Peak data rates of 1 Gbps to meet IMT Advanced
standards for 4G
Ability to leverage advanced topology
heterogeneous networks such as Pico cells and
Femtocells
Improves capacity and coverage and provides
large bandwidth upto 100 MHz of spectrum
