This paper addresses the main features of the transition from the Long Term Evolution standard (LTE) to its successor Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced). As the process of only creating LTE-advanced specifications alone has taken several years and included thousands of temporary documents, the output thus would be several volumes of specifications. A single paper of this length must therefore choose its contents wisely if it has to do more than just scratching the surface of such a complex standard.References
