Abstract:


Long Term Evolution (LTE-Advanced) is a preliminary mobile communication standard formally submitted as a candidate for 4G systems to the ITU-T. LTE-A is being standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a major enhancement of the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE-Release 8) standard, which proved to be sufficient to satisfy market‟s demand. The 3GPP group has been working on different aspects to improve LTE performance, where the purpose of the framework provided by LTE-Advanced, includes higher order MIMO, carrier aggregation (carriers with multiple components), peak data rate, and mobility. This paper presents a study on LTE evolution toward LTE-Advanced in terms of LTE enabling technologies (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)), and also focuses on LTE- Advanced technologies MIMO enhancements for LTE-Advanced, Coordinated Multi Point transmission (CoMP).
