Enabling Techniques for LTE-A and beyond

This deliverable summarizes the most promising enabling techniques for LTE-A and beyond in seven major areas. These areas are: Carrier Aggregation, Coordinated Multipoint Systems, Femtocells, Network Coding, MIMO, Quality of Service, Resource allocation, and Relaying. A description of the most relevant scenarios where the techniques can be used is given. Further the end-2-end performance approach is presented. Finally future research directions of enabling techniques beyond LTE-A are given.
