Turnout:  35

Presentation: “Towards LTE Advanced“

Abstract

With over 266 networks in 99 countries, LTE is the de facto world-standard for mobile communications. This presentation will address the evolution of LTE to meet ITU requirements for high mobile broadband data rates. The talk focuses on key LTE-Advanced features such as carrier aggregation, interference management for heterogeneous networks, advanced MIMO and coordinated multipoint to provide an overview of the evolution of 4G networks for the next five years. It will combine the principles of these technologies with real-world data and results to present an objective view of the evolutionary path of LTE.
