Scaling LTE Advanced Beyond Carrier Aggregation; Exploring New Terrains with 4x4 MIMOJune 29, 2016Long Term Evolution, as the LTE acronym is derived from, is an apt description of this constantly evolving wireless 4th generation (4G) technology platform. The goal of evolving existing 4G wireless technology is to produce an ever more efficient wireless data transport given limits of available spectrum, signaling schemes and the laws of physics. As advances in LTE and now LTE-A have pushed wireless transmission to the limits of Shannon-Hartley theorem, we must turn to other, non-RF (radio frequency) approaches to achieve gains. Beyond the dimensions of frequency, coding and time in LTE, we now turn our attention to leveraging the spatial dimension to further evolve and improve LTE performance.Subscribers Only
