Telecommunications Revolutions
Considering the development of the telecommunications, one may distinguish among following revolutions:
Introduction of the automatic telephone exchange (at the end of 19th century) Digitalization of telecommunication systems in the 1970s, 80s and 90s Integration of circuit-switched connection-oriented telecommunication and packet-based connectionless Internet, in the 1990s and 2000s All-IP based networks, including wired and wireless ones, in the 2010s

Depending on the features implemented, HSPA+ can exceed the capabilities of IEEE 802.16e-2005 (mobile WiMAX) in the same amount of spectrum
One-Tunnel Architecture
In Release 7, there is the option of a one-tunnel architecture by which the network establishes a direct transfer path for user data between RNC and GGSN, while the SGSN still performs all control functions There is also an integrated RNC/NodeB option, particularly beneficial in femtocell deployments
Downlink peak data rates up to 326 Mbps with 20 MHz bandwidth. Uplink peak data rates up to 87.4 Mbps with 20 MHz bandwidth. Operation in both TDD and FDD modes. Scalable bandwidth up to 20 MHz (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz). Increased spectral efficiency over R6 HSPA by a factor of two to four. Reduced latency, to 10 msec round-trip times between user equipment and the base station, and to less than 100 msec transition times from inactive to active.

LTE
Based on an all-IP packet switched network. Peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility. Dynamically share and use the network resources to support more simultaneous users per cell. Scalable channel bandwidth 520 MHz, optionally up to 40 MHz. Peak link spectral efficiency of 15 bit/s/Hz in the downlink, and 6.75 bit/s/Hz in the uplink (meaning that 1 Gbit/s in the downlink should be possible over less than 67 MHz bandwidth). System spectral efficiency of up to 3 bit/s/Hz/cell in the downlink and 2.25 bit/s/Hz/cell for indoor usage. Smooth handovers across heterogeneous networks. Ability to offer high quality of service for next generation multimedia support.
In September 2009, the technology proposals were submitted to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as 4G candidates. Basically all proposals are based on two technologies:

For those operators with heavy UMTS investment, LTE can be deployed as a complement at hot spots for higher capacity and better user experience. For those operators with less or no UMTS investment; who prefer LTE, LTE can be deployed at wide area together with UMTS network. Next Generation Mobile Networks, Prof. Dr. Toni Janevski

In mobile networks (WCDMA/HSPA) we differentiate: Consumer-rich calls Corporate rich-calls Plain vanilla voice
Uplink and downlink transmissions have highest influence on the VoIP over LTE delay budget
The multicast broadcast transmission is performed through the MBMS of LTE by adding only 1 additional functional entity: MBMS controller Multicast is a bandwidth conserving technology that allows an E-UTRAN to send packets (video segments in this case) to a subset of all mobile stations as a group transmission

Emerging mobile and wireless networks will provide adaptive personal communication with high data rates in all-IP environment, allowing migration of users, devices and services between heterogeneous wireless networks ranging from GSM to wireless LAN and broadband mobile networks such as 3G-HSPA, LTE/LTE-A and Mobile WiMAX, as well as their future advanced versions, supporting different applications and using multimode mobile terminals to exploit different spectrums for different underlying wireless access technologies.
