LTE performances
Peak DL rates (for 20MHz): 326.4 Mbit/s for 4x4 antennas, 172.8 Mbit/s for 2x2 antennas for every 20 MHz of spectrum. Peak upload rates of 86.4 Mbit/s p / 5 different terminal classes. All terminal will be able to process 20 MHz bandwidth. At least 200 active users in every 5 MHz cell Sub-5ms latency for small IP packets Transmission Time Intervals: 1 msec HARQ Retransmission Time: 8msec Bearer Services: Packet only y Optimal cell size of 5 km, 30 km sizes with reasonable performance, and up to 100 km cell sizes supported with acceptable performance Co-existence with legacy standards (smooth HO with GSM, GPRS, WCDMA-based UMTS or even 3GPP2) Supports MBSFN. This feature can deliver services such as Mobile TV, and is a competitor for DVB-H-based TV broadcast. 20

IMT advanced General requirements (1)

ITU IMT advanced is the base line for the 4G requirement Higher spectral efficiencies and peak data rates up to 1Giga bps. Lower latencies (air-link access latency, [Inter-FA HO, Intra-FA HO, interRAN HO] latencies) to enable new delay sensitive applications delay-sensitive applications. Mobility Support: Cellular systems including IMT-Advanced are required to support the environments described in following:
Pedestrian (Pedestrian speeds up to 10 km/h) Typical Vehicular (Vehicular speeds up to 120 km/h) High Speed Vehicular (Vehicular speeds up to 500 km/h) Seamless application connectivity to other mobile networks and other IP networks (global roaming capabilities).

LTE Release 10 and Beyond l d d (LTE(LTE-Advanced)

Support for larger cell sizes and improved cell-edge performance. Low-cost and low-complexity terminals for worldwide use. Improved Unicast and multicast broadcast services. Provision for PAN/LAN/WAN Co-location / Coexistence.
