LTE is already, from its first release, capable of providing high performance in a wide range of scenarios, including both wide area and local area access. However, with most users being stationary or slowly moving, there is an increasing focus on high data rates in (quasi-) stationary situations. Indeed, improved support for local area access was identified as a key area at the Rel-12 workshop, and 3GPP initiated studies in this area in fall 2012.
