Fundamental requirements for LTE Advanced Advanced

• Complete fulfillment of the requirement for IMT-Advanced defined by

ITU ITU.

• LTE-Advanced is an evolution of LTE and has to fulfill a set of

backwards compatibility requirements.

Backward compatibility in terms of : 1: Spectrum coexistence:For a LTE release terminal, an LTE Advanced cell should appear as a LTE release 8 cell 2: Infrastructure: Upgrading already installed LTE infrastructure to LTE Advanced capabilities with a reasonable cost.

• 3. Terminal implementation: Possibility of introducing LTE Advanced

functionality in mobile terminals with a reasonable incremental complexity and associated cost compared to current LTE capability.
