The main goal of LTE is to provide a high data rate, low latency and packet optimized radio access technology supporting flexible bandwidth deployments. The network architecture of LTE has been designed with the goal to support packet-switched traffic with seamless mobility and great quality of service. In this paper, we provide in-depth, the evolution and the major basic features of LTE to LTE-Advanced. Finally, we summarize the LTE-Advanced features in tabular format and show how LTE can fulfil the IMT-Advanced requirements.enIMT-AdvancedLTELTE-AdvancedLTE FeaturesLTE-A Vs IMT-AArticle
