LTE-to-5G Ecosystem January 2023 LTE is a global success with over 6.6 billion subscriptions, connecting nearly two-thirds of mobile users worldwide. LTE is specified by 3GPP as a single global standard for paired and unpaired spectrum users. The vast majority of the standard is the same for frequency-division duplex (FDD) and time-division duplex (TDD). LTE has evolved through various 3GPP technology releases, covering the introduction of LTE-Advanced and then LTE-Advanced Pro, which have significantly improved the capabilities of LTE networks. From 3GPP Release 15 onwards, the community has been defining 5G networks, starting with 5G non-standalone systems that integrate… -

SUNSIGHT: E911/E112 Location Accuracy
Sunsight Instruments Technical White Paper E911 (E112) Location Accuracy Improving E911 and E112 system performance results is not only a key to saving lives with faster response times, but is a requirement from the FCC and EU. This paper focuses on latest tightening of requirements for emergency location accuracy of caller location and how implementing a more precise data collection input for RF antenna position will quickly help wireless service providers and public safety response organizations increase location accuracy of callers. Improving RF antenna position databases for network-based caller location solution will have an immediate…Read more -

LTE-ADVANCED: Technology Introduction – (3GPP Rel.12)
This white paper summarizes significant additional technology components based on LTE, which are included in 3GPP Release 12 specifications. The LTE technology as specified within 3GPP Release was first commercially deployed by end 2009. Since then the number of commercial networks is strongly increasing around the globe. LTE has become the fastest developing mobile system technology ever. As other cellular technologies, LTE is continuously worked on in terms of improvements. 3GPP groups added technology components according to so- called releases. Initial enhancements were included in 3GPP Release 9, followed by more significant improvements in 3GPP…Read more -
