Huawei has completed the bidirectional handover test between LTE FDD CA and LTE TDD CA, both with 40MHz bandwidth.
The handover utilized a mobile device enabled by the Qualcomm Gobi 9×35 modem working with Huawei’s One LTE network solution.
The result of LTE TDD/FDD CA bidirectional handover between convergent LTE CA networks, and from one separate LTE CA network to another will speed up the commercial deployment of Huawei’s One LTE solution (TDD/FDD CA).
Telecom operators will benefit from improved network flexibility and deployment feasibility by allowing a phased approach of commercial deployment, said Huawei in a statement.
Global telecom operators can seamlessly transform user experiences to LTE convergent networks. This feature is expected to launch globally by the end of 2014. Software for corresponding devices upgraded on an ongoing basis.
In addition to TDD/FDD interworking for One LTE, Huawei previously conducted a demonstration of TDD+FDD 4-Carrier Aggregation which features throughput exceeding 500Mbps to enhance the LTE convergence at the Mobile World Congress 2014.
The total number of TDD/FDD convergence networks globally is currently 13, with this number forecast to grow to 50 by the end of 2014.
