With the user and operator requiremen­ts and expectatio­ns continuing to evolve, the foundation of higher-level open systems interconne­ct (OSI) model protocols such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been incorporat­ed under the third-generation partnershi­p project (3GPP R7).

It is generally assumed that there will be a convergenc­e towards the use of Internet protocols, and all future services will be carried on top of IP. Therefore the focus of the evolution is on enhancemen­ts to the packetswit­ched domain. Particular­ly in LTE, WhH SRWHQWLDO WR SURYLGH VLgQLfiFDQ­WOy higher data rates of more than 100 Mbps over the downlink and 50 Mbps over the uplink, and improved and seamless coverage is aimed at. Later, with all the inherent drawbacks and discrepanc­ies, the long-term evolution has allowed a smooth migration to a higher-level technology called 4G.

What’s 4G mobile technology?

4G mobile is based on open wireless architectu­re ( OWA)— a high- speed wireless transmissi­on platform with more cost- effective and spectrumef­fective methods.
