THE new evolving standard, Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A), is targeting to achieve a peak uplink rate of 500 Mbps and a downlink rate of 1 Gbps for low speed mobile devices and around 100 Mbps for those with high mobility. It accommodates the next generation of telecommunication services such as real-time high-definition video streaming, mobile HDTV and high-quality video conferencing.
LTE-A presents key technological challenges by bringing in concepts such as carrier aggregation, cooperative communication, eMBMS (evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) and others.
The focus of LTE-A research group is to raise and solve unique challenges in these key areas.
