In some posts and reference documents found LTE is considered as 3.9G but not the 4G.
What ITU has defined to consider a telecom network as 4G and where the LTE is lagging to be called as 4G technology ?

According to ITU requirement 4G should support for the throughput of 100Mpbs in UL and 1Gbps in DL. But LTE didn't satisfied this requirement. So it is considered as 3.9G.
