Network characteristics and video transmission over LTE

The era of new wireless communications is upon us. Telecommunications technologies are evolving at an unbelievable pace, driven by innovation, speed, quality, convenience, and cost. Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is the standard recently specified by the 3GPP on the way towards fourth-generation mobile. LTE leads a big technological improvement as compared with the previous 3G standard. In this paper we present the main technical features of LTE standard. An analysis and simulation of video transmission with different resolution and frame rates over LTE was conducted.
