The “history” of 3GPP system “entering” the unlicensed spectrum regime seems to happened already a long time ago. Tight LTE interworking with WiFi is one way for the MNOs to offload traffic. The other one, discussed within this blogpost, is based on a specialized design of LTE system to be able to cope with ISM/license exempt bands’ special requirements e.g., fair coexistence with other users of this spectrum (e.g. Legacy WiFi).

LTE operation in unlicensed spectrum is not limited to its aggregation with WiFi (like with LWA, LWIP and RCLWI)¹. Another approach to utilize the unlicensed spectrum combined with the MNO-controlled LTE networks is based on a specialized version of LTE system designed to cope with the unlicensed spectrum’s requirements. This is referred to as Licensed […]
