Introduction by Nitin Khanna
What is LTE?
LTE is the next generation of Mobile broadband technology Data rates of 100 Mbps
It is the next level after UMTS 3G technology Works with IP!
Advantages
Provides low latency Higher network throughput
2G (14.4 Kbps)
3G (14.4 Mbps)
4G (1 Gbps)
LTE Technologies
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) for downlink SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) for uplink
LTE Architecture
What is the LTE market opportunity and implications for the broader ecosystem, including equipment providers, operators, and device manufacturers? What are the revenue incentives and investment implications for operators who adopt LTE?
Dual-mode chips to enable seamless 3G/4G coexistence Greater computational power on board Improved battery life for media-intensive applications
Demonstrated potential through 4G lab tests and trials Possibly, multistandard base stations to facilitate migration from and transitional coexistence of 3G to 4G
Innovative applications that take advantage of LTEs bandwidth and latency characteristics Rich multimedia content to drive eyeballs to the handset screen
Focused efforts to understand & address end-user requirements among consumers and businesses Willingness to take measured risks to monetize 4G
New, innovative GUI designs to take advantage of rich multimedia content and applications Development of new device categories (MIDs) to leverage LTE beyond the handset

LTE Advanced
Mobile Communication Standard
As a major enhancement of the 3GPP LTE Standard
Peak data rates of 1 Gbps to meet IMT Advanced standards for 4G Ability to leverage advanced topology heterogenous networks such as Picocells and Femtocells Improves capacity and coverage and provides large bandwidth upto 100 MHz of spectrum
