School of LTE & Advanced Communications

We've put together a collection of industry white papers from various organisations that will be of interest to anyone interested in the technical issues surrounding LTE and its future development.

Progress on "LTE Advanced" the new 4G Standard (Normor Research) The paper gives an overview about the latest activities in 3GPP including the first agreementson LTE Advanced requirements. Furthermore some first technology proposals are introducedand discussed. Also Nomor Research started working on first simulations for LTE Advancedand will be happy to support your activities in a related area. 3GPP Workshop. *Download this white paper.*
The Drivers to LTE (Motorola) This paper will look at what is driving the development of LTE, how this will impact future LTE subscriber experiences, and ultimately how it will help drive operators businesses. *Download this white paper.*
Long Term Evolution (LTE): Overview of the LTE Air-Interface (Motorola) This paper provides a preliminary look at the air interface for LTE Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and associated key technologies required to reach its design objectives. Initial LTE E-UTRA system performance results show a 2 to 3x improvement over a reference Rel-6 UMTS/HSxPA system configuration [1, 2] for both uplink and downlink. *Download this white paper.*
3GPP LTE: Introducing Single-Carrier FDMA (Aligent Technologies) After considering the broader aspects of LTE, this paper take a closer look at the uplink, which uses a new modulation format called single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA). These are interesting times because it is rare that the communications industry rolls out a new modulation format. Download this white paper.
Charting the Course for Mobile Broadband: Heading Towards High Performance All-IP with LTE/SAE (Nokia Siemens Networks) Nokia Siemens Networks expects five billion people to be connected to the web by 2015. Wireless access to the Internet will be in step with wireline access. Access via mobile phone supporting enhanced data applications will complement notebook based usage. Wireless networks will be used to extend broadband penetration beyond the reach of wireline networks. More and more user communities will enjoy multimedia services, driving total bandwidth demand. This affords mobile network operators a business opportunity they can capitalize on by improving their networks' performance and efficiency. Download this white paper.
