LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a 4th-generation wireless standard.  
The 

 Release 8 specification outlines the features and 

requirements.

Key features include.

Peak data rate:
· 100 Mbps DL within 20 MHz bandwidth



(Peak DL data rate in 10 MHz bandwidth: 70 Mbps (approx.) for 
Cat 3 device)

· 50 Mbps UL within 20 MHz bandwidth

Actual throughput is dependent on the network configuration, 
bandwidth assigned to the UE, the number of users, and RF sig-
nal conditions.

Up to 200 active users in a cell (5 MHz)

Less than 5 ms user-plane latency

Supported bandwidths: 5 MHz / 10 MHz

Spectrum flexibility: 1.4–20 MHz (3–20 MHz in future F/W 
release)

Enhanced support for end-to-end 

Physical layer uses:
·

: OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).



, and 64QAM

: Single Carrier FDMA (single carrier modulation and 

orthogonal frequency multiplexing)



Modulation: QPSK, 16QAM

MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) antenna support

1xEV-DO is backwards compatible to both 

 and 

A/B 

standards. However, 1xEV-DO represents an evolutionary 
enhancement, specifically designed and optimized for high-speed 
wireless data access. This was driven by fundamental differences 
between voice and data traffic characteristics.
