Low power mobile internet devices using LTE technology

[Summary form only given]. LTE is the first cellular communications standard that has been designed from the start for delivering internet content to mobile devices. This will enable a whole new set of applications and devices that are currently beyond our imagination. While new devices will easily consume orders of magnitude more data delivered over the cellular communication pipe than their early 2G counter parts, the challenge for low power consumption remains. LTE not only promises higher data rates, it also offers lower power consumption on a per bit basis than any preceding cellular communications standard thus making it ideal for battery powered data hungry devices. This talk focuses on low power data transmission over LTE from a system perspective. Taking an electronic reading device as an example, analysis will be made where power in the LTE modem is consumed. An outline on further system optimization with respect to low power exploiting the possibilities offered by the LTE standard and beyond will be given.
