APPENDIX D: LTE‐ADVANCED AND SELF EVALUATION OF RELEASE 10
D.1 DETAILS OF THE 3GPP CANDIDATE TECHNOLOGY SUBMISSION OF 3GPP LTE RELEASE
10 AND BEYOND (LTE‐ADVANCED) AS ACCEPTED BY THE ITU‐R
3GPP’s submission was received by the ITU-R WP 5D and was documented by WP 5D in the document
ITU-R IMT-ADV/8. This document may be found at http://www.itu.int/md/R07-IMT.ADV-C-0008/en and
access to IMT-ADV/8 and provides specific details on all parts of the 3GPP technology submission and
links to the relevant technical information.
This submission (included in IMT-ADV/8) from 3GPP, supported by the 3GPP Proponent 157 was
developed in 3GPP and captured in the 3GPP documents approved at 3GPP TSG RAN Plenary #45
Seville, Spain, September 15-18, 2009.
By examining the 3GPP submission and 3GPP documents such as TR 36.912, it is evident that the 3GPP
LTE and LTE-Advanced technologies represent a high performance mobile broadband technology
capable of fulfilling and/or exceeding the established ITU-R requirements for IMT-Advanced (4G) as well
as meeting the current and future needs of the wireless marketplace in a wide range of deployment
environments, frequency bands and service scenarios.
In particular, it should be noted that:
� The capabilities addressed in LTE-Advanced span the capabilities from LTE Rel-8 and extend
through Rel-10 and beyond. As such, the capabilities represent a range of possible functionalities
and solutions that might be adopted by 3GPP in the work on the further specifications of LTE
� A self-evaluation for the LTE-Advanced FDD RIT and TDD RIT components was conducted in
3GPP. The relevant ITU-R Reports and documentation were utilized in the preparation of the
3GPP self-evaluation report on LTE-Advanced
� Furthermore, the 3GPP self-evaluation of the LTE-Advanced technology yields the following
perspectives:
o For LTE Rel-10:
� The FDD RIT Component meets the minimum requirements of all four required
test environments
� The TDD RIT Component meets the minimum requirements of all four required
test environments
� The complete SRIT (consisting of the FDD and TDD components) meets the
minimum requirements of all four required test environments
o The 3GPP baseline configuration exceeds ITU-R requirements with minimum extension:
� LTE Rel-8 fulfills the requirements in most cases (no extensions needed)
157 The 3GPP Proponent of the 3GPP submission is collectively the 3GPP Organizational Partners (OPs). The Organizational
Partners of 3GPP are ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TTA and TTC, http://www.3gpp.org/partners.
