LTE in focus

摘要

As part of the worldwide 3GPP Release 8 standard, LTE has been fully defined since March 2009. This new technology is an essential enhancement of classic mobile-communications technologies, such as GSM/ EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA( +), and CDMA2000/Ev-Do Rev A. It promises end users significant data-rate, network-capacity, and latency improvements. LTE will also enable network operators to more effectively and inexpensively deliver services, such as Web browsing, gaming, and video streaming, and it will open the door for new mobile services.
