LTE (Long Term Evolution) or 3G Long Term Evolution is the evolution of mobile cellular communications technology towards a full edge to edge broadband ip network, and is introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8.

The aim of this 3GPP project is to further develop the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) standard and provide an enhanced user experience and simplified technology for next generation mobile broadband. Scientists and design engineers from more than 60 operators, vendors and research institutes have teamed up to realise this radio access standardization effort.

Much of the 3GPP Release 8 standard will be oriented towards upgrading UMTS to 4G mobile communications technology, and an all-IP flat architecture system.

What is a resource block

What is RB or Resource Block?

A Resource Block (RB) is a time- and frequency resource
that occupies 12 subcarriers (12x15 kHz = 180 kHz) and one slot (=0.5 ms).

RBs are allocated in pairs by the scheduler (then referred to as Scheduling Blocks).
