This document provides an overview of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technology. It describes LTE's network architecture including the E-UTRAN, Mobility Management Entity, Serving Gateway and Packet Data Network Gateway. It also discusses key LTE technologies such as OFDMA, SC-FDMA, MIMO and the evolution to LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation and enhanced multi-antenna transmission techniques. Finally, it summarizes two research papers on power saving mechanisms in LTE networks and the potential for using LTE in vehicular networking applications.
