LTE-Advanced extends the capabilities originally developed
in LTE within the 3GPP. Carrier aggregationis the most significant, albeit
complex, improvement provided by LTE-Advanced. Bandwidths from various portions
of the spectrum are logically concatenated resulting in a virtual block of a
much larger band, enabling increased data throughput. Additionally,
enhancements to MIMO antenna techniques in the uplink and downlink further
increase the data throughput. Cell coverage is improved by means of relay nodes,
which connect to donor eNode-Bs. To cope with the many varieties of cell types
and sizes (macro, pico, femto), intercell interference control is enhanced to
handle these heterogeneous networks. Operators hope to leverage LTE-Advanced to
offer their mobile wireless customers a vastly superior user experience.GET FURTHER INSIGHTS FROM THE PAPER BELOW
