LTE World
LTE networks are operational in
176 countries, 677 different mobile
networks investing ,
422 commercially launched LTE.
As per the second quarter 2015,
755 million subscribers are using
LTE ( third quarter of 2013, over
157 million global subscribers are
using LTE)
LTE-Advanced deployments have taken hold in all markets around the world. Now over 30% of operators are investing in LTEAdvanced system deployments, with the commercialization of carrier aggregation the first feature to be exploited. 88 operators,
i.e. over 20% of all LTE operators, have commercially launched LTE-Advanced service in 45 countries. 15 LTE-Advanced
networks support Category 4 devices (above 100 Mbps up to 150 Mbps peak downlink speed) while 73 networks support
Category 6 devices (above 150 Mbps up to 300 Mbps).

3GPP Technical Report 25.9 13 defines the key objectives of LTE as:
10
LTE has a flat architecture which minimizes the number of network elements.
LTE is optimized for Packet Switched (PS) services but includes functionality to handle Circuit Switched (CS) services, e.g. CS
fallback to UMTS.
LTE supports the speech service using Voice over IP. Otherwise, the speech service can be supported by allowing the UE to
fallback to UMTS, GSM or CDMA2000
LTE supports Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) for the transmission of mobile TV.
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) versions of LTE have been standardized, Both allow channel
bandwidths of up to 20 MHz.
LTE allows inter-working with existing GSM, UMTS and CDMA2000 technologies.
LTE uses QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation schemes with OFDMA (downlink) and SC-FDMA (uplink) multiple access
technologies.
11
LTE supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology in the downlink direction. ,3GPP releases 8 and 9 do not
support MIMO in the uplink direction.
Existing spectrum allocations can be re-farmed for the introduction of LTE.
LTE simplifies network planning by minimizing the requirement for manually planned neighbor lists
LTE includes Self Organizing Network (SON) functionality to help automate network configuration, optimization, fault finding and
fault handling.
LTE Advanced starts from 3GPP release 10.
LTE Advanced introduces Carrier Aggregation to provide wider effective channel bandwidths. It also introduces MIMO in the uplink
direction, as well as increasing the number of antenna elements which can be used for MIMO in the downlink direction

Channel Bandwidths
* The downlink subcarrier bandwidth includes an additional 15 kHz to accommodate a null subcarrier
at the center of all other subcarriers. The null subcarrier provides 15 kHz of empty spectrum within
which nothing is transmitted
bandwidths provide support for lower throughputs but are easier to accommodate within existing
spectrum allocations
the subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz). The subcarrier spacing of 7.5 kHz is only
Block when using the 7.5 kHz subcarrier spacing so the total bandwidth

Guard Subcarriers
DC stands for Direct Current and it is a subcarrier that has no information sent on it. This is an important
subcarrier in OFDM based systems. It is used by the mobile device to locate the center of the OFDM frequency
band.

- A REG is made up of 4 (or 6 if there are pilot sub-carriers) subcarriers during 1 symbol.
- The REG are grouped into the CCE (Control Channel Element)
