Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a brief yet comprehensive overview of current Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems and beyond. We begin presenting the baseline technology and the underlying features of network architecture, protocols, and air interface introduced in the first LTE release back in 2008. Having the basics put in place, we move forward to discuss advanced features introduced and further developed throughout subsequent LTE releases. Our discussion takes into consideration even the still under discussion LTE Release 13, which has in March 2016 its estimated freeze date.

By “fair” it is meant that LAA should not impact Wi-Fi services (data, video, and voice services) more than an additional Wi-Fi network operating on the same carrier would. These metrics could include throughput, latency, and jitter, but will be exactly defined in the coexistence study.
