Why LTE?
Throughput
HSPA+ (WCDMA) scales linearily in bandwidth (multi carrier) and proportionally in single user -MIMO (max. 2x2)
LTE (OFDMA) scales linearily in bandwidth (single carrier) and in single user-MIMO factors (max. 4x4)
LTE 86Mbps 43Mbps HSPA+(DC) 84Mbps* 22Mbps* LTE 43Mbps 21Mbps

Bandwidth
* Chipset Roadmap delayed for 2012 and we may need additional carrier to get the peak throughput as MIMO will not add any gain for voice (R99).

The QCI is further used within the LTE access network to define the control packet-forwarding treatment from an end-to-end perspective. It also ensures a minimum standard level of QoS to ease the interworking between the LTE networks mainly in roaming cases and in multi-vendor environments PDB defines an upper bound delay that a packet is allowed to experience between UE & PCEF
LTE Evolution
OFDM, the state-of-the-art Radio Access Technology: Moving from Time Domain to Frequency Domain
Why OFDM/SC-FDMA
q
Robustness against multipath which makes it suitable for broadband systems compared to TDMA/CDMA techniques. SC-FDMA brings additional benefit of low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) making it suitable for uplink transmission and then extend UE battery life. Receiver design is very simple thanks to frequency non-selective (i.e., flat fading) channel. OFDM is inherently susceptible to channel dispersion since OFDM symbol time is much larger than the typical channel dispersion.

Decreasing Latency
Spectrum Options
New Bands well suited for LTE to avoid refarming when introducing new technology
2.6GHz spectrum mainly for LTE Digital Dividend (e.g. 800MHz/700MHz bands): Trend is to use it for LTE
2.1GHz spectrum: bandwidth mostly for UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ and few countries for LTE q 900MHz, 1800MHz, AWS re-farming is needed before UMTS/HSPA or LTE usage
q
900MHz refarming already started for UMTS usage => may not be possible to use it for LTE in most of countries 1800MHz will be re-farmed directly to LTE AWS is planned for LTE use in North America
