== LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) ==

[[TOC(Other/Summer/2015*, depth=3)]]

=== Introduction ===
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest high-speed data standard of wireless communication. It is usually known as 4G LTE in cellphone or mobile devices.

LTE in Unlicensed (LTE-U) operates in open/unlicensed spectrum, such as the 5GHz band. It aggregates with the licensed LTE in order to increase the data rate of the Advanced LTE system (unlicensed and licensed LTE system).

=== Objectives ===
First, we researched on LTE, LTE-U and Wi-Fi spectrum in advance.

Second, we simulated the LTE-U base station in ORBIT Lab using OMF commands, WiMax, and OpenAirInterface.

Third, we tested it to work together with Wi-Fi signal, and collect the result.
