Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced) is the next step in LTE evolution and allows operators to improve network performance and service capabilities through smooth deployment of new techniques and technologies. LTE-Advanced uses some new features on top of the existing LTE standards to provide better user experience and higher throughputs. Some of the most significant features introduced in LTE-Advanced are carrier aggregation, enhancements in heterogeneous networks, coordinated multipoint transmission and reception, enhanced Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) usage and deployment of relay nodes in the radio network. Mentioned features are mainly aimed to enhance the radio access part of the cellular networks. This survey article presents an overview of the key radio access features and functionalities of the LTE-Advanced radio access network, supported by the simulation results. We also provide a detailed review of the literature together with a very rich list of the references for each of the features. An LTE-Advanced roadmap and the latest updates and trends in LTE markets are also presented.

Abstract-This paper addresses the energy-latency trade-off in distributed application offloading, in which an energy-limited handset offloads totally or partially an application to one or several virtual machines (VMs) located in remote locations or access points (APs) close to the mobile terminal (MT). One of the APs (the serving AP) provides radio access to the MT and is connected to the VMs through non-ideal backhaul (BH) links. In this setting, we optimize the offloading strategy (including the joint optimization of radio and computational resources) to minimize the energy consumption at the MT subject to a maximum latency constraint. In addition, we propose robust designs to cope with imperfect acquisition of the channel state information (CSI) and the BH parameters. Our findings show that, as far as the energy-latency trade-off is concerned, the optimal order of activation of the VMs does not depend on their processing capabilities but the delays of the BH links. However, once a VM is selected to participate in the processing, the optimal amount of processing allocated to such VM depends on its computational capabilities as well as on the features (capacity and delay) of the BH link. Additionally, offloading decisions become more conservative as the uncertainty in CSI and BH parameters increases.

“…And along with the rapid development of wireless communication, the demands for higher data rate and better performance of the whole network become more and more important, which have promoted the research enthusiasm on the improvement of spectral efficiency and effective interference management [1]. D2D communication is a service for the direct communication between devices without passing through the eNB.…”
