Summary
Introduction
Long Term Evolution (LTE) of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) was developed to ensure that the technology remains competitive for the foreseeable future. Requirements for the LTE Rel-8 system include improved system capacity and coverage, improved user experience through higher data rates and reduced latency, reduced deployment and operating costs, and seamless integration with existing systems. The requirements may be broken down into different categories – system performance, latency, coverage, deployment, and complexity. To achieve these goals, new designs for the radio access networks and system architectures are needed.
