The main new
functionalities
introduced in
LTE-Advanced
Carrier Aggregation (CA)
Carrier aggregation enhances network capacity, improves spectral
efficiency, and enables faster data speeds.
something is missing here?
Support for Relay Nodes (RN)
Relay Nodes act as intermediaries between the base station and
user devices, helping to improve signal strength and coverage in
areas with poor radio conditions or limited coverage.
•Relaying to improve coverage and reduce deployment cost
Relaying improves coverage and reduces deployment costs by
leveraging Relay Nodes to extend the reach of the cellular network.
Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission/reception.
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission/reception is a key
feature in LTE-Advanced that improves system performance,
enhances coverage, and increases network capacity by enabling
coordinated cooperation among base stations.
