LTE will be based on many elements that will be included in Release 7 of the 3GPP standard, primarily OFDM and MIMO, although CDMA technology will be removed from Radio Layer 1 of LTE. Draft specs for Rel. 7 are due to be frozen in June this year.

"It is unlikely all vendors will agree to IPR capping," says Patterson. "Nevertheless, by removing CDMA from the LTE standard it also removes perhaps the most vocal opponent to royalty capping and proportionality - Qualcomm."


This has always been the long-term risk to Qualcomm's IPR demands. OTOH, any implementations of LTE are likely to have HSDPA/HSUPA as one of the modes for a very long time.
