Abstract :
This paper provides a high-level overview of some technology components currently considered for the evolution of LTE including complete fulfillment of the IMT-advanced requirements. These technology components include extended spectrum flexibility, multi-antenna solutions, coordinated multipoint transmission/reception, and the use of advanced repeaters/relaying. A simple performance assessment is also included, indicating potential for significantly increased performance.
