Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the standardisation work by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which defines a new high-speed radio access method for mobile communications systems. LTE is the enhancement of the 3GPP family of cellular systems that include GSM, GPRS and EDGE as well as WCDMA and now HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which offers a smooth evolutionary path to higher speeds and lower latency. Besides providing the efficient use of operators1 finite spectrum assets, LTE offers richer mobile service environment.
