May 2015 FCC Public Notice DA 15-516 FCC questions about LTE in unlicensed spectrum What different variations of LTE in unlicensed spectrum (e.g., LTE-U, LAA) are under active development or on a roadmap for future development? How do they relate to one another in terms of technology, potential use, and timing of availability? What is the current state of development of the LTE-U and LAA standards and what is the anticipated schedule for completion of the LTE-U and LAA standards? What is the status of coordination between 3GPP and the IEEE 802.11 on LTE-U and LAA, and what is the process for coming to agreement on appropriate sharing characteristics to ensure co-existence with the IEEE 802.11 family of standards? What are the anticipated technical characteristics (e.g. bandwidth(s), listen-before-talk, transmission durations, etc.) of LTE-U and LAA? What tests or analyses have been performed to understand the impact of LTE-U and LAA on the existing commercial wireless and unlicensed ecosystems? Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
May 2015 FCC Public Notice DA 15-516 FCC questions about LTE in unlicensed spectrum Precisely how will LAA integrate licensed and unlicensed carriers, particularly with regard to controlling access to spectrum? To what extent is a standalone form of LTE-U being developed, that is, a form that can operate without a licensed primary channel? Are existing devices capable of software upgrades to implement LTE-U and LAA? What frequency bands are envisioned for deployment of LTE-U and LAA? What plans do carriers and manufacturers have for pre-standard deployment of LTE-U and LAA equipment including possible upgrades to 3GPP-based LTE-U or LAA and how would the above questions (particularly with respect to coexistence issues) be addressed relative to pre-standard versions of LTE-U and LAA?
