Which 3GPP release specifies the first release of LTE?

Release 8
Release 8 was frozen in December 2008 and this has been the basis for the first wave of LTE equipment. LTE specifications are very stable, with the added benefit of enhancements having been introduced in all subsequent 3GPP Releases.

What are the main differences between the LTE release 8 and release 10 LTE-A )?

Question 2: What are the main differences between the LTE release 8 and release 10 (LTE-A)? LTE-A is the only one between both that meets 4G requirements. Its mains advantages over release 8 are the higher data rates, for uplink and downlink, and higher spectral efficiency.

What are the various releases in mobile communication?

Here I provide a short summary of the 3GPP releases relevant to LTE, including brief highlights of their contents.

• 3GPP Release 8 – Freeze Date 2008.
• 3GPP Release 9 – Freeze Date 2009.
• 3GPP Release 10 – Freeze Date 2011.
• 3GPP Release 11 – Freeze Date 2013.
• 3GPP Release 12 – Freeze Date 2014.

What does 3GPP stand for?

Third Generation Partnership Project
3GPPTM is a partnership project bringing together national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe initially to develop technical specifications for the 3rd generation of mobile, cellular telecommunications, UMTS.

What is the significance of 3GPP Release 99?

3GPP Release 99 was the first release of the UMTS / WCDMA standard, and work on this proceeded with the introduction of HSDPA, the HSUPA to form HSPA. 3GPP Release 8 saw the first introduction of LTE and this was steadily updated with enhancements of LTE with LTE-A and improvements to many areas.

What is 3GPP and non 3GPP?

Non-3GPP means that these accesses were not specified in the 3GPP. These technologies includes e.g. WiMAX, cdma2000®, WLAN or fixed networks. Non-3GPP accesses can be split into two categories: the “trusted” ones and the “untrusted”: Trusted non-3GPP accesses can interact directly with the EPC.

What is the release 10?

LTE-Advanced (Release 10) is a preliminary mobile communication standard formally submitted as a candidate 4G systems to the ITU-T.

Which 3GPP releases are related to LTE Advanced?

LTE Advanced Pro (LTE-A Pro, also known as 4.5G, 4.5G Pro, 4.9G, Pre-5G, 5G Project) is a name for 3GPP release 13 and 14.

What are the 3GPP standards?

The term “3GPP specification” covers all GSM (including GPRS and EDGE), W-CDMA (including HSPA), LTE (including LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced Pro) and 5G specifications. Revised versions of many of these specifications are produced up to four times a year following the quarterly TSG plenary meetings.
