To support such demand\, wider transmission bandwidths are n eeded\, and hence\, the technique of Carrier Aggregation (CA) has been int roduced in 4G cellular systems. This enables scalable bandwidth expansion beyond the single LTE carrier by aggregating two or more LTE component car riers of similar or different baseband bandwidth\, which can be chosen fro m the same 3GPP frequency band (intra-band) or different 3GPP frequency ba nds (inter-band). Furthermore\, CA is supported by both FDD and TDD modes\ , and this offers the optimum flexibility in the way the spectrum is utili zed and how the network scheduling is configured. In order to push towards 5G data rates (>1Gbps)\, leveraging more antennas and transmitting more b its per symbol to increase spectral efficiency requires the use of MIMO an d higher-order modulation techniques. This presentation focuses on discuss ing the RF system architectural challenges for Advanced-LTE based user equ ipment (UE) radio\, and the resultant increased complexity in the radio du e to the use of CA\, MIMO\, and higher order modulation techniques\; furth ermore\, concurrency and coexistence scenarios with other radio access tec hnologies (RAT) are considered in how they further add to the complexity o f the RF front-end and to its linearity requirements.\n\nCo-sponsored by: AP01/MTT17 & ED/CAS\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Walid Ali-Ahmad\, \n\nAgenda: \nEve nt Time:6:00 AM to 8:00 PM\n\n5:30:00 PM - Refreshments and Networking\n\n 6:00PM-7:30 PM: Talk by Dr.Walid Ali-Ahmad\, of UC San Diego\n\nSeminar in ECE 202 All Welcome: There is no fee/charge for attending IEEE technical semiar.
