Is the LTE network upgrade compatible with 3G devices? I would think it would be as it wouldn't be very feasible for every 3G user to buy a new device to meet upgrade requirements.
I don't think so, by only software upgrade lte services can be get. There is fundamentally difference between 3G and LTE radio access mechanism. 3G devices work on WCDMA and LTE devices on OFDMA and SC-FDMA.
in 3G Measurement Control msg == RrcConnectionReconfiguration msg in LTE In 3G & lte ... Measurement Report In 3G SIB11/12 for measurement control configuration == in LTE Which SIB ?
Lot of talk about LTE and 3G but I still pay more for the voice service then my data needs. Can we assume voice still rules?
