Note that the LTE air interface publication date shown is 12/2007, but the core network (EPC) was published mid 2008. A stable ASN.1 code is required for commercial implementation of the standard (LTE R8 ASN.1 was frozen in March 2009).

LTE Voice Through Fallback to 3G, Long Term Solution is VoIP using IMS

LTE focused on data while leveraging 3G for voice3

1Simultaneous 1X Voice and DO (SVDO) planned across future Qualcomm DO chipsets, simultaneous WCDMA voice and HSPA data available today. HSPA+ will also support ‘CS over HS’ voice. Simultaneous Voice and data also through VoIP over EV-DO. 2Requires VCC for service continuity 3LTE air interface supports VoIP, but initial focus is on data with data optimized devices.

1 R8 will reach 42 Mbps by combining 2x2 MIMO and HOM (64QAM) in 5MHz, or by utilizing HOM (64QAM) and multi carrier in 10 MHz.

2 R9 and beyond may utilize combinations of multi carrier and MIMO to reach 84 Mbps peak rates. Similarly, uplink multi carrier can double the uplink data rates.

3 Peak rates for 10 and 20 MHz FDD using 2x2 MIMO, standard supports 4x4 MIMO enabling peak rates of 300 Mbps. TDD rates are a function of up/downlink asymmetry

4Peak rates can reach or exceed 300 Mbps by aggregating multiple 20 MHz carriers as considered for LTE Advanced (LTE Rel-10).
