Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive view of the challenges facing current 4G networks and how the evolution toward 5G is expected to overcome them. We will explain many of the future requirements that can already be met with LTE Advanced Pro, and will discuss the operational and implementation challenges in current LTE networks and related end-user experiences.
