MAPLs are better for LTE than for other technologies. However, cell ranges are
smaller due to the offset between technologies carriers. Still this is true ONLY in
the case lower bit rates are used. If requested cell edge throughput gets higher
(e.g. 512kbps) the tendency is not longer kept and LTE provides better cell ranges
than 3G. LTE is designed to support high data bitrates and therefore its coverage
capabilities for such kind of services outstands other technologies.
