The use of multiple input multiple output or MIMO complicates the process of measuring eNodeB power and modulation quality in LTE systems. Spectrum analyzers only have one receiver whereas two or more receivers are needed for complete demodulation of data traffic channels.
LTE and LTE-Advanced promise a far better experience for the end user. But these technologies introduce new challenges in the backhaul network, which plays a critical role in maintaining high quality of experience. Listen to the podcast to learn more about backhaul considerations for LTE and LTE-A.
Interviews with two African officials, on the prospects and challenges facing LTE in the region. The last part of the video features Atle Monrad, CT Chairman, giving his thoughts on the priorities for the EPC evolution - with an eye on the differences encountered in Africa.
This webinar from November 2012 focuses on carrier aggregation, the feature that is most in demand within the LTE-Advanced feature set. It also outlines how carrier aggregation is supported by leading test and measurement solutions for LTE and LTE-Advanced from Rohde & Schwarz.
The head of Australia's largest mobile operator tells Mobile World Live why carriers need to move into the apps space. And he reveals more about the company's progress with LTE rollout and Telstra's small cell strategy.
Has microwave backhaul for LTE and 3G networks run its course in the United States and internationally or will heterogenous networks and small cells create another surge in microwave backhaul demand?
CTO Neville Ray announces that T-Mobile's 4G LTEi network now reaches 157 million people across the United States - far exceeding the company's stated mid-year goal of reaching 100 million people. The advanced 4G network is live in 116 metropolitan areas.
