LTE Advanced Vs LTE Advanced Pro-Difference between LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro
This page compares LTE Advanced Vs LTE Advanced Pro and mentions difference between LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro.
LTE
• LTE has been introduced in 2012 in order to provide high data rate mobile broadband connection. It has been introduced to provide 10 times faster datarate compare to 3G.
• LTE provides 100 Mbps.
• LTE has been specified in 3GPP Rel.8
• LTE supports carrier bandwidth of 20 MHz

LTE Advanced
• LTE Advanced is enhancement to LTE with data rate increase to factor of 10.
• It supports carrier aggregation and higher order MIMO techniques.
• It supports data rate of 1 Gbps in downlink (From eNB to UE) and 500 Mbps in uplink direction (From UE to eNB).

LTE Advanced Pro
• It is enhanced version of LTE Advanced to support higher data rate beyond 3 Gbps.
• It supports increased Bandwidth, increased efficiency and improved latency.
• It makes use of both licensed (400 MHz to 3.8 GHz) and unlicensed (5GHz) spectrum to support upto 32 carriers of 20MHz each.
• It is backward compatible with existing LTE and LTE Advanced devices.
• It makes use of spectrum more efficiently by increasing number of antenna paths as well as multi beam approach.
It serves single radio cell with 16 to 64 antenna paths.
• It grows network capacity to about 200% without any additional spectrum or base stations.
• Increased battery life about 10 times than LTE.
Applications of LTE Advanced Pro
Typical applications of LTE advanced pro include following:
• It can be used for mission critical public safety communications
• It provides cost effective connectivity for IoT (Internet of Things)
• It can be closely integrated with 5G which paves the way for programmable world
Following is the tabular difference between LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro.
| Specifications | LTE Advanced | LTE Advanced Pro |
| 3GPP Standard Release | 3GPP Release 10, 11, 12 | 3GPP Release 13 and beyond |
| Total carrier Bandwidth | 100 MHz, 5 carriers of 20MHz each | 640 MHz, aggregates upto 32 carriers each of 20MHz bandwidth |
| Data rate | 1Gbps | More than 3 Gbps |
| Latency | 10 ms | less than 2ms |
