LTE is the most successful mobile communications standard of all time. Launched in 2010, LTE is now available in almost every country in the world and there are many billions of LTE contracts. LTE has been and is being further developed towards 5G as LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced Pro.
A variety of functions make LTE more flexible, more powerful, more customer-oriented and more cost-effective. The agenda includes very high data rates (Gbit/s), intelligent heterogeneous network structures with cells from a few 10 m to 100 km, new frequency ranges, the Cellular Internet of Things CIoT with NB-IoT and LTE-M, device-to-device D2D transmission and group communication for BOS, intelligent antenna systems and much more.
LTE is increasingly becoming the one radio system for all possible users and use cases.
This course includes an introduction to LTE basics, milestones and standardization, the LTE network and OFDMA-based radio transmission as well as the central LTE-Advanced (Pro) features. The most important evolutionary steps towards 5G, the current status, possibilities and limitations are explained. Finally, 5G is outlined: 5G requirements, 5G milestones, the 5G network and the basics of 5G radio transmission.
