Spectrum and RF Characteristics
Spectrum flexibility is, as mentioned in Chapter 7, a key feature of LTE radio access and is set out in the LTE design targets [10]. It consists of several components, including deployment in different-sized spectrum allocations and deployment in diverse frequency ranges, both in paired and unpaired frequency bands.
There are a number of frequency bands identified for mobile use and specifically for IMT today. Most of these bands were already defined for operation with WCDMA/HSPA, and LTE is the next technology to be deployed in those bands. Both paired and unpaired bands are included in the LTE specifications. The additional challenge with LTE operation in some bands is the possibility of using channel ...
