The Long Term Evolution (Lte)
Abstact
To create a continuous competitive market and deliver more services via mobile broadband to customers, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) developed an evolved 3G technology called LTE which tends towards the 4G technology. This work highlights the overview of LTE as well as the expectation which the technology is expected to meet which attributes its advantages. Being the first true IP-Packet technology with new architecture, the network architecture evolution is also discussed and the technologies used. The deployment timeline as well as the challenges encountered which has necessitated the advancement of the technology.

INTRODUCTION
The Long Term Evolution (LTE) is one of the latest steps in an advancing series of Mobile telecommunication system. The series which began in 1947 with the cells concept development by Bell Labs saw its First Generation (1G) in the 1980s– the first mobile communication system that received large acceptability with lots of independently-developed systems worldwide. This generation only provided voice service and transited in the early 1990s to its Second Generation (2G) known as GSM, a robust interoperable digital system introducing voice, SMS and data services which is developed jointly by telecommunication companies coming together under the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) which made global roaming to be possible. The 2G was only operational in Europe as other regions and standard organisation outside Europe had their own standards which made the ETSI 2G not to be globally interoperable.
