LTE, commonly known as 4G, stands for Long-Term Evolution and is a wireless communication technology standardized by 3GPP. LTE adoption has increased drastically over the last years, and today is integrated widely in a vast number of wireless devices. However, significant restrictions, such as the increased equipment cost and the acquisition of licensed spectrum, renders experimentation with real LTE equipment very difficult. Recently, iMinds w-iLab.t testbed has been extended with commercial LTE equipment and an EPC (Evolved Packet Core) software platform, offering the opportunity to orchestrate and execute real LTE experiments, hereby providing full access to the most relevant configurable LTE parameters of the network. In this paper, we describe an LTE demonstration scenario that showcases various use cases and the respective experimental settings that can be conducted on the LTE testbed. Copyright © 2015 ACM.
