2.7 Conclusions

In the previous sections, we have covered the LTE-Advanced standardization aspects. The 3GPP has really become the spearhead of development in mobile radio technology with a large attendance from all over the world. The 3GPP is continuing toward further development steps of LTE-Advanced with the ongoing Release 11 work and with the preparation of the plans for Release 12 and 13 as summarized in [9]. Continuous evolution work ensure the LTE-Advanced will stay the most advanced solution for the mobile operators worldwide which is demonstrated by the large participation of the operators in the LTE standardization work from all major markets and with varying technology backgrounds in terms of legacy systems deployed.
