This document summarizes an agenda for a presentation on LTE and EPC. The presentation covers the timeline and development of LTE standards, an overview of the LTE radio interface including OFDMA and bandwidth options, and applications enabled by LTE such as video streaming. It also provides an overview of the Evolved Packet Core including the motivation for evolving 3G core networks to an all-IP architecture and the network functions of the EPC such as the MME, SGW and PGW. Mobility and interworking with 2G, 3G and non-3G networks via the EPC is also summarized.
