LTE Radio Interface structure and its security mechanism

Herbert Koblmiller, T.B.A.

LTE is using complete different Radio Architecture than GSM and UMTS and tries to simplify its Procedure- and Layer structure in order to improve data throughput and latency. Getting rid of the signalling overhead of UMTS but being comparable robust to GSM will possibly the path for LTE to become the successor for the next centuries. This could mean that security mechanism in the radio interface have to be flexible to future developments like LTE advanced.
