LTE Whitepapers

HSPA+LTE Carrier Aggregation

in Whitepaper, 4G Americas, Carrier Aggregation, HSPA, LTE

The evolution of both HSPA+ and LTE standards has introduced aggregation of carriers for higher data rates, better load balancing and increased spectrum utilization, and since the dawn of LTE, the standard support for radio level interworking for HSPA and LTE radios has been included.

New Wireless Broadband Applications and Devices: Understanding the Impact on Networks

in Whitepaper, Report, 4G Americas, 4G, HSPA, LTE

Mass market mobile wireless applications and devices for the subscribers have exploded in recent years. The proliferation of new applications, devices and services has led to increased signaling and data traffic flowing through HSPA and LTE mobile broadband networks.

LTE voice evolution:Circuit-switched fallback

in Whitepaper, CSFB, LTE

In this paper, Qualcomm and Ericsson share their insights on using circuit-switched fallback, (CSFB) as a solution to this challenge. Find out more about recent deployment experiences and extensive testing that has been conducted on the first phase of voice evolution between packet and circuit-switched networks.

Delivering Voice Using HSPA

in Whitepaper, 4G Americas, HSPA, LTE

This 4G Americas white paper describes the technological features that are being developed for Voice over HSPA (VoHSPA) and recent simulations that substantiate the anticipated benefits of VoHSPA.

The Move to Small-Cell Architectures

in Whitepaper, Ruckus Wireless, Small Cell, Femtocell, LTE

The expansion and evolution of cellular networks over the past decades has been astounding. Networks initially designed for voice traffic have grown to accommodate increasingly high data-traffic loads. This growth has long relied on a network of macro cells to provide a good balance of wireless coverage and
capacity.

Meeting mobile broadband expectations with maximum efficiency

in Whitepaper, Ericsson, Small Cell, LTE

As the Networked Society takes shape, providing the right user experience is a top priority for operators. Bandwidth-hungry applications common on smartphones, tablets and other connected devices are driving figures for data traffic sky high.

It all comes back to backhaul

in Whitepaper, Backhaul, Ericsson, Small Cell, Femtocell, LTE

Ericsson - Backhaul plays a critical role in mobile broadband, and is rising in importance on account of the introduction of heterogeneous networks, known as hetnets.

Deploying vast numbers of small cells to complement improved and densified macrocell layers will require a range of highly scalable, flexible mobile backhaul solutions that support superior user experience.

Voice and video calling over LTE

in Whitepaper, Ericsson, VoLTE, LTE

Ericsson - The GSMA IR.92 voice-over-LTE and GSMA IR.94 IMS conversational video specifications are the preferred industry choices for mass-market voice and video calling services over LTE, satisfying user expectations and providing the most advantageous solutions for operators.

3GPP Release 10 and Beyond - HSPA+, SAE/LTE and LTE-Advanced - Update

in Whitepaper, 3GPP, LTE-Advanced, HSPA, LTE

This 4G Americas document is an updated version of the February 2011 white paper and includes a new Appendix A: Detailed Member Progress and Plans on Release 99 through Release 10 and updated deployment and subscriber information.
