Abstract :
Specifications for next-generation mobile technologies-International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced-were agreed at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radiocommunication Assembly meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. Following a detailed evaluation against stringent technical and operational criteria, ITU has deter mined that Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced and Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Advanced should be accorded as official designations of IMT-Advanced. IMT-Advanced systems include new capabilities that go beyond IMT 2000, which are widely deployed since 2000 and referred to as third-genera tion (3G) mobile technologies. ITU has now specified the standards for IMT Advanced, the next-generation global wireless broadband communications that provide access to a wide range of packet-based telecommunication services supported by mobile and fixed networks.
