Two modes:
W-CDMA FDD mode

TD-CDMA TDD mode

Various UMTS bands

FDD Mode

LTE: Key Features

Multiple access scheme
DL: OFDMA with CP. UL: Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) with CP.

Adaptive modulation and coding

DL/UL modulations: QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM Convolutional code and turbo code

Advanced MIMO spatial multiplexing techniques

(2 or 4)x(2 or 4) downlink and uplink supported. Multi-user MIMO also supported.

Support for both FDD and TDD H-ARQ, mobility support, rate control, security, and etc.

LTE Advanced / 4G
Some of the key features of LTE-Advanced :

Worldwide functionality & roaming.

High-quality mobile services. Compatibility of services within 3G & B3G and with fixed n/w. Interworking with other radio access systems. Enhanced peak data rates to support advanced services and applications (100 Mbit/s for high and 1Gbit/s for low mobility)
