Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest buzzword on everyone’s lips, but are you as conversant with the LTE architecture as you would like to be, or — more importantly — need to be? Would you like to find out more about LTE, but have little time to devote
to it? If so, this paper will help get you up to speed in no time. Originally published as a chapter in the most comprehensive LTE reference book available, LTE — The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice (Wiley 2009), this paper provides a short, but comprehensive, overview of the 3GPP Release 8 LTE network architecture and interfaces, showing how it can be deployed in an optimized and efficient manner. Engineers involved in the design of LTE interfaces and network equipment, as well as those involved in the first deployments of this new technology, should find this paper invaluable.
