Hi Guys,
New comers has join you..;)! This will be my first contribution in this forum, so I hope you appreciate it.

Description of the White paper: The LTE Network Architecture -26 Pages-
Executive summary

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the network architecture of a Long Term Evolution
(LTE) system according to the Release 8 version of the specifications. It is designed to enable the reader
to become conversant rapidly with the main principles of the LTE network architecture. Engineers
involved in the design of LTE interfaces and network equipment, as well as those involved in the first
deployments of this new technology, should find this paper invaluable.
Not only does this paper provide a straightforward introduction to the definitive but complex specifications
defined by the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), but it also particularly highlights
aspects of the network architecture and interfaces that enable LTE networks to be deployed in
an optimized and efficient manner. References are provided throughout so that the interested reader
can readily access more detailed material.
The content of this paper, authored by Sudeep Palat and Philippe Godin, was originally published
as an invited chapter in the book LTE — The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice
(Wiley 2009), edited by Stefania Sesia, Issam Toufik and Matthew Baker, which is widely recognized
as the most comprehensive reference book available on LTE. Sudeep Palat, Philippe Godin and
Matthew Baker are all lead representatives in Alcatel-Lucent’s 3GPP standardization team.
