Wireless communications is becoming more essential than ever in today's modern society and access to information and knowledge will be of crucial differences between success and failure. We have already begun to see clear tendencies that the wireless communications is taking over more and more and makes by no means difference between different application areas. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the newest radio access system technology based on OFDM, which aims at providing higher data rate services with lower latency.
