LTE Radio Access
An Overview
The work on LTE was initiated in late 2004 with the overall aim of providing a new radio-access technology focusing on packet-switched data only. The first phase of the 3GPP work on LTE was to define a set of performance and capability targets for LTE [10]. This included targets on peak data rates, user/system throughput, spectral efficiency, and control/user-plane latency. In addition, requirements were also set on spectrum flexibility, as well as on interaction/compatibility with other 3GPP radio-access technologies (GSM, WCDMA/HSPA, and TD-SCDMA).
Once the targets were set, 3GPP studies on the feasibility of different technical solutions considered for LTE were followed by development of the detailed specifications. ...
