LTE is one of the most popular term in the world of telecommunication. In fact LTE is an acronym that stands for Long Term Evolution.

‘L’-Long

‘T’-Term

‘E’-Evolution

In this article I will share a lot of things about LTE which will be very useful to you if you are really interested to know about the topic.

What is LTE?

Already I have mentioned that LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. In the world of Telecommunication Long Term Evolution is a standard for high speed wireless communication for mobile phones as well as data terminals. This very thing actually based on some particular things. Well let me come on the point directly, this is actually based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies.

This increases the capacity as well as speed using a different radio interface. There includes a improvement in the field of core network. LTE that is Long Term Evolution have been mostly marketed and commercialized as 4G Long Term Evolution.

Till now many of you didn’t know much about the Long Term Evolution as well as what happens in their case and what are the things in them. Well here I am going to clear all your doubts about the topic LTE. In the very starting I have been very much excited to share with you about this article and now I am doing and I am really very happy that I am doing this.

Some Important Things About LTE

As I have mentioned earlier that LTE is simply marketed as 4G LTE. But dear readers you will be surprised to know that It does not meet the technical criteria of any 4G wireless service as compared to that of 3GPP.

Here I am going to share with you some of the important things about Long Term Evolution with the help of the following listed points. So guys and girls just go through what have been shared.

  • LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. This is a registered trademark.
  • It is ETSI who actually owns this very registered trademark. For your kind information dear, ETSI is an acronym that is used for European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
  • This Long Term Evolution is for non other than that of wireless data communications technology and a development of the GSM/UMTS standards.
  • One of the thing here include is that NTT DoCoMo was the first one to propose LTE, Long Term Evolution. NTT DoCoMo did this in the year 2004 in Japan.
  • Well dear Long Term Evolution, that was proposed by NTT DoCoMo of Japan, studies on the new standard officially began in the very upcoming year 2005.

In this very way there are quite a few things that are very important dear. All the things will be discussed and mentioned here. Just have patience and go through the things that will be mentioned. Actually Long Term Evolution is having quite amazing history and characteristics. Well let me move on the another section and in the upcoming section I am going to mention with you some more other things about Long Term Evolution.

History of Long Term Evolution

In this section you all will get to know about the history of LTE. There are quite a few things when it comes about the history of Long Term Evolution. I am going to share with you some of the important historic points about LTE. Just get to know what happened in the history.

  1. The first one is regarding the proposal of LTE. As I have mentioned in the upper section, NTT DoCoMo of Japan in 2004 proposed Long Term Evolution as the very International Standard.
  2. After the proposal, Nokia Network (earlier it came to be known as Siemens Network) showed in the collaboration with Nomor Research the 1st live emulation of an Long Term Evolution Network to the media and also to the investors. This was happened in the year 2006 in September.
  3. After then Ericsson demonstrated in the world Long Term Evolution with bit rates up to 144 Mbit/s. This was happened in the month of February 2007.
  4. Well after Ericsson demonstration, NTT DoCoMo demonstrated LTE data rates of 200 Mbit /s. This have been done with power level below 100 mW during the test.
  5. In 2008 LTE test equipment started shipping from quite a few vendors and dear at the Mobile World Congress 2008, Ericsson demonstrated first end to end mobile call. This was enables by Long Term Evolution on a very small hand held device.

In this very dear readers Long Term Evolution have quite a wider range of historic story from the very beginning to the till date. Now let me share with you some more things about the topic that is LTE(which stands for Long Term Evolution). So dear readers just go through the following upcoming section if you really want to know more about the Long Term Evolution.

LTE TDD and LTE FDD

Till now you have get to know a lot of things about the LTE that is Long Term Evolution. Here comes a very important thing and I am sure that this is the things most of the people are looking for. Well let me come on the point directly. In this section I am going to tell you about the difference between LTE TDD and on the other hand that of LTE FDD. So guys just go through the things that are being mentioned here.

Well the question is what is the difference between LTE-TDD and that of LTE-FDD.

Here LTE-TDD is an acronym that is used for the Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex. While one the another hand there is LTE-FDD. LTE-FDD refers to the Long Term Evolution Frequency Division Duplex. The main difference between the two is that one is time division whereas another hand is Frequency Division.

TDD Long Term Evolution is a 4G telecommunications technology and standard co-developed by an international coalition of companies. This includes China Mobile, Datang Telecom, so on and so forth. LTT FDD uses paired frequencies to upload and download data in fact. While LTE TDD actually uses a single frequency that alternates between uploading and downloading data through time.
