3GPP Release 9 – Date 2009

Release 9 brought a number of refinements to features introduced in Release 8, along with new developments to the network architecture and new service features. These included:

• introduction of LTE femtocells in the form of the Home eNodeB (HeNB)
• self-organizing network (SON) features, such as optimization of the random access channel
• evolved multimedia broadcast and multicast service (eMBMS) for the efficient delivery of the same multimedia content to multiple destinations
• location services (LCS) to pinpoint the location of a mobile device.
• Femto Cell as LTE Home eNodeB
• MIMO Beam-forming
• LTE Positioning Services
• Public Warning System Enhancement – Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS)

Femtocell is actually alittle cell utilized in offices or homes and connected to providers’ networks through landline broadband connection. LTE femtocell new requirements were added to release 9 to use LTE within the small cell deployments

3GPP Release 8 – Date 2008

 

Release 8 introduced in 2008

LTE for the first time, with a completely new radio interface and core network, enabling substantially improved data performance compared with previous systems. Highlights included:

 

§  High peak data rates: up to 300Mbit/s downlink and 75Mbit/s uplink

§  latency down to 10ms

§  implementation in bandwidths of 1.4, 3,5 , 10, 15 or 20MHz, to allow for different deployment scenarios

§  orthogonal frequency domain multiple access (OFDMA) downlink

§  single-carrier frequency domain multiple access (SC-FDMA) uplink

§  multiple input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas

§  flat radio network architecture, with no equivalent to the GSM BSC or UMTS RNC, and functionality distributed among the base stations (eNodeBs)

§  all IP core network, the System Architecture Evolution (SAE).

3GPP Release 10 –Date 2011

Release 10 provided a substantial uplift to the capacity and throughput of the LTE system and also took steps to improve the system performance for mobile devices located at some distance from a base station. Notable features included:

• up to 3Gbit/s downlink and 1.5Gbit/s uplink
• carrier aggregation (CA), allowing the combination of up to five separate carriers to enable bandwidths up to 100MHz
• higher order MIMO antenna configurations up to 8×8 downlink and 4×4 uplink
• relay nodes to support Heterogeneous Networks (“HetNets”) containing a wide variety of cell sizes
• enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) to improve performance towards the edge of cells.
