LTE is the next evolution of UMTS mobile networks, aiming to provide higher peak data rates of up to 100 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink. It uses OFDMA for downlink and SC-FDMA for uplink transmission, along with MIMO technology, to achieve these higher speeds. Key technologies include orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) for downlink and single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) for uplink, which help address interference issues. LTE also aims to reduce latency compared to previous UMTS technologies.
