A Comparison of LTE Advanced HetNets and WiFi
For an LTE operator that needs to significantly increase network capacity, there are two complementary options of offloading macro user traffic – Using LTE Advanced HetNets with small cells (pico cells) in the same channel as macro cells and using 802.11n Wi-Fi access points (APs) in unlicensed spectrum.

LTE Advanced: Heterogeneous Networks
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) allows operators to use new and wider spectrum and complements 3G networks with higher data rates, lower latency and a flat, IP-based architecture. To further improve the broadband user experience in a ubiquitous and cost-effective manner, 3GPP has been working on various aspects of the LTE Advanced standard.

LTE Mobility Enhancements
The Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) has defined Long Term Evolution (LTE) as part of the 3GPP Release 8 specifications. LTE introduces the possibility of complementing High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) networks with higher peak data rates, greater flexibility for heterogeneous networks and flatter network architecture.
