LTE-Advanced is introduced in Release 10 of UMTS. LTE-Advanced is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of IMT-Advanced such as the support for the peak data rate of 1 Gbps and support for wider bandwidths up to 100 MHz. The LTE-Advanced system will be backward compatible with LTE and will enable service providers to provide enhanced user experience while minimizing the cost of ownership. This course provides an overview of LTE-Advanced features, describing the key requirements and proposed solutions such as carrier aggregation, enhanced advanced antenna techniques for the DL and the UL, relays, and coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception. In summary, this course provides a comprehensive high level view of LTE-Advanced. Learning Objectives After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Discuss the motivating factors for LTE-Advanced • List the requirements and performance targets for IMT-Advanced and LTE-Advanced • Specify and describe the key features of LTE-Advanced • Provide examples of areas where basic LTE operations have been enhanced in LTE-Advanced • Identify the enhancements required in an LTE network to migrate to LTE-Advanced • Give examples of deployment scenarios for LTE-Advanced deployment Intended Audience This course provides a comprehensive high level view of LTE-Advanced and is intended for those involved in engineering functions such as planning, product management, design and deployment as well as those who need to understand LTE-Advanced and its place in the 4G wireless landscape.
