Notes: R8 reaches 42 Mbps by combining 2x2 MIMO and HOM (64QAM) in 5 MHz, or by utilizing HOM (64QAM) and multicarrier in 10 MHz. R9 combines multicarrier and MIMO in 10 MHz to reach 84 Mbps peak rates. Uplink multicarrier doubles the uplink peak data rate to 23 Mbps in 10 MHz in R9. R10 expands multicarrier to 20 MHz to reach 168 Mbps. R11 expands multicarrier to 40MHz to reach 336 Mbps.

spectrum bands and band combinations continuously defined in 3GPP, e.g., support for band XI (1500MHz Japan) combinations has been added and band III (1800MHz) is being added, beyond 4X combinations expected to be added in R11 2With 4x multicarrier in R10 (and 8x in R11), carriers within the same band need to be adjacent and inter-band aggregation can span two different bands. 2For typical bursty applications and partial load.

The Next Leap In PerformanceSmall Cells

Adding small cells like Picocells, Femtocells, and Remote Radioheads

Optimizations Makes the Leap Even BiggerSmart HetNets

Mitigate Interference E.g. Advanced Receivers

Note: Other improvements, such as higher order modulation will also help, but 64QAM is already commonly used. Other options are to use the available capacity better and reduce e.g. power or signaling overhead to get more usable capacity
