The first reference publication date used is the earliest publication date where Qualcomm feels that a set of reasonably complete and consistent specifications were available. Note that the LTE air interface publication date shown is 12/2007, but the core network (EPC) was published mid 2008. A stable ASN.1 code is required for commercial implementation of the standard (LTE R8 ASN.1 was frozen in March 2009).

R8 will reach 42 Mbps by combining 2x2 MIMO and HOM (64QAM) in 5MHz, or by utilizing HOM (64QAM) and multi carrier in 10 MHz. 2 R9 and beyond may utilize combinations of multi carrier and MIMO to reach 84 Mbps peak rates. Similarly, uplink multi carrier can double the uplink data rates. 3 Peak rates for 10 and 20 MHz FDD using 2x2 MIMO, standard supports 4x4 MIMO enabling peak rates of 300 Mbps. TDD rates are a function of up/downlink asymmetry 4Peak rates can reach or exceed 300 Mbps by aggregating multiple 20 MHz carriers as considered for LTE Advanced (LTE Rel-10).
