In the quest for substantial increases to the capacity and throughput of mobile networks, unlicensed radio spectrum is expected to have an important role in 5G systems from 2020. However, work is already underway in 3GPP to allow 4G LTE-Advanced networks to take advantage of unlicensed spectrum much sooner. The Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) feature will… Read more
One of the major features of LTE-Advanced is Carrier Aggregation, which allows mobile network operators to combine a number of separate LTE carriers. This enables them to increase the peak user data rates and overall capacity of their networks and to exploit fragmented spectrum allocations. I introduced the fundamentals of Carrier Aggregation in a previous… Read more
3G enhancements, such as HSPA+ and LTE will be introduced on a widespread basis within the next five years, as shown in the table below. These enhancements will provide users with much greater peak speeds, which will better support usage-intensive services, thus helping to drive 3G traffic volumes. By September 2008, more than 94% of… Read more
