This document discusses Long Term Evolution (LTE) as the 4G mobile broadband technology. It provides key specifications of LTE including peak download/upload speeds of 173/86 Mbps, low latency of less than 100ms, support for 200 active users per 5MHz of spectrum, and mobility up to 450km/h. It also compares LTE to WiMAX, noting LTE is faster, compatible with 2G/3G networks, and requires a SIM while WiMAX does not. The document proposes two options for allocating LTE spectrum in Iraq to make most efficient use of available spectrum and meet data demands, avoiding wastage.

LTE Roadmap Why LTE ?
Improved Quality of Experience & New Services
With LTE delivering even higher peak throughput and much lower latency, mobile operators (either 3GPP or 3GPP2 based) have a unique opportunity to evolve their existing infrastructure to next generation wireless networks Deliver their subscriber’s Quality of Experience (QoE) expectations in terms of real-time services such as Voice Over IP, Multi-User Gaming Over IP, High Definition Video On Demand and Live TV also continue to improve the quality of delivery for all legacy applications (e-mail, internet browsing, MMS, etc. LTE VS Wimax
In terms of technology, WiMAX and LTE are very similar
below are major differences
Long Term Evolution (LTE) started out as a 3GPP project “focused
on enhancing the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and optimizing 3GPP’s radio access architecture,” according to the 3GPP website WiMAX evolved from a Wi-Fi, IP-based background. WiMAX went through several stages of development, yet always used the IEEE 802.16 standard established by the IEEE Standards LTE is faster WiMAX has more ubiquity LTE VS Wimax
LTE is designed to be backwards compatible with GSM and HSPA. This
means that when a mobile device exceeds the range of an LTE network, it can fall back on a 2.5 or 3G network assuming it has the requisite radio technologies. WiMAX standard of 802.16e known as “Mobile WiMAX” is backwards compatible with the previous WiMAX standard of 802.16d, known as “fixed WiMAX.” LTE require the use of a SIM in order to operate. This will be convenient for cellular devices that are already compatible with a SIM, but not for laptops and other technological devices without SIM interfaces WiMAX does not require a SIM or any other hardware token. Therefore, all authentication methods used to identify a customer’s device will be easily entered into several devices LTE Frequency Spectrum LTE Spectrum for Iraq (Option#1)
