Japan’s DOCOMO mobile begins field testing 4G LTE-Advanced
updated 12:55 am EST, Sat February 12, 2011

Delivers theoretical 1Gbps downlink, 200Mbps up

Japan’s DOCOMO mobile network has announced that it has begun field testing a development of LTE technology LTE-Advanced. LTE-Advanced is a 4G mobile network technology that is up to six-times faster than standard LTE networks. A recent field test by the South Korean government’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) showed the new standard achieving astonishing downlink speeds in real-world tests peaking at 600Mbps.
&TDOCOMO has already confirmed the performance of LTE-Advanced technologies using radio environment simulators in its R&D center, achieving transmission data rates of approximately 1 Gbps in the downlink and 200 Mbps in the uplink.

Standardization of LTE-Advanced is currently being finalized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). In October 2010, LTE-Advanced was accepted by the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) as a technology compliant with the requirements of IMT-Advanced.

The technology is backward compatible with current LTE networks. However, it is not likely to being widespread roll-outs until at least 2014. A single-chip LTE-Advanced design that can be incorporated into mobile phones is expected to delivered in around three years. America’s major carriers including AT and Verizon are expected to have completed their roll-outs of LTE networks by that point, making the upgrade path to LTE-Advanced quicker and easier than the current transition from 3G to 4G.
