LTE is also called 3.95G and has been marketed as 4G LTE and Advanced 4G; [citation needed] but the original version did not meet the technical criteria of a 4G wireless service, as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series for LTE Advanced.
Subscribers must upgrade to Wi-Fi/UMA enabled handsets to take advantage of the service. Calls may be more prone to disconnect when the handset transitions from Wi-Fi to the standard wireless service and vice versa (because the handset moved out or within the Wi-Fi's range). How much this is a problem may vary based on which handset is used.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is commonly marketed as 4G LTE, but it did not initially meet the technical criteria of a 4G wireless service, as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series for LTE Advanced. Given the competitive pressures of WiMAX and its evolution with Advanced new releases, it has become synonymous with 4G. It was first ...
AT&T (NYS: T) and Verizon (NYS: VZ) are in a similar boat at the moment. Apple's (NAS: AAPL) just-launched iPhone 5 will be available through these two carriers only, and the resulting advancement ...
The cat's out of the bag: The next iPhone will be unveiled to the world on Sept. 12. However, there are plenty of storylines still surrounding the phone, one of which is whether it'll have LTE ...
VoLTE calling. Voice over Long-Term Evolution (acronym VoLTE) is an LTE high-speed wireless communication standard for voice calls and SMS using mobile phones and data terminals. [1] [2] VoLTE has up to three times more voice [3] and data capacity than older 3G UMTS and up to six times more than 2G GSM.
From the network perspective, there are two options that provide flexibility when looking at deploying LWA - collocated and non-collocated. In the former, the WLAN Access Point (AP) or Access Controller (AC) is physically integrated with the LTE eNB, whereas in the latter the WLAN network (i.e. APs and/or ACs) are connected to the LTE eNB via an external network interface (Xw).
A radio access technology (RAT) is the underlying physical connection method for a radio communication network. Many modern mobile phones support several RATs in one device such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GSM, UMTS, LTE or 5G NR.
