FAQ's

What is the difference between LTE and LTE-Advanced?

LTE is specified in 3GPP release 8 and release 9. LTE advanced is specified in 3GPP release 10. The main difference between them is the carrier aggregation functionality introduced in LTE advanced. Another one is the Number of antennas supported by MIMO, which has been increased to 8 with new Transmission Modes TM8, TM9 and TM10 with support of DMRS, CSI-RS and CoMP in LTE advanced.

Why is LTE-Advanced better that LTE?

LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) promises to deliver download speeds of up to 3 Gbps for fixed wireless installations. That’s a theoretical maximum, though. LTE-A’s benefits are about more than just speed. LTE-A will enable smoother “handoffs” when traveling between cells, so you won’t lose your connection so much. And it packs more speed into the same amount of spectrum improving the spectral efficiency, which should allow more people to access the network at once.

What is the highest Modulation Scheme used in LTE-A?

LTE-Advanced uses a higher order modulation technique compared to the original LTE standard which is 256 QAM. In conjunction with the supported LTE-Advanced spatial multiplexing through Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) with superior antenna configuration compared to LTE generates a lot higher bit rates per symbol
