Speed Comparison for wireless communication


LTE can reach 100Mbps downlink speed and upto 75Mbps uplink speed. It used OFDMA or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access for downlink and SC-FDMA or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access for Uplink. The base station in LTE is called as eNode B and the mobile station is called as UE or User Equipment. Downlink is from the eNode B to UE and Uplink is vice versa. LTE supports multiple bandwidths right from 1.4MHz to 20MHz, it is this flexibility of LTE that is attracting the operators from all over the world. The main reason for this is there is a tight lock in the spectrum now because of so many wireless applications.
