Long Term Evolution (LTE) Release 8, is a mature technology defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) for mobile Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) [5]
which is being deployed in hundreds of networks around the world, with regional or national coverage [6]. LTE is characterized by the use of efficient modulation and coding schemes, mandatory multi-antenna operation, broad band(up to 20 MHz),
and very flexible deployment in UHF frequencies, with cell sizes ranging from from several kilometers (macro-cells) to few tens of meters (femto-cells) for
in-house base stations, called Evolved Node B (eNB).
