The Prime of 4G-LTE Telecommunication networks are continually developing. As technology advances and the publics hunger for more content delivered to their devices grows, a definitive standard to fulfill this requirement was greatly needed. This came in the form of 4G-LTE; the Long Term Evolution of Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). LTEs main objective was to provide operators a cost-efficient platform for the growing mobile data traffic. It had evolved directly from 3G, hence operators had to just upgrade their current infrastructure, rather than build up from scratch [1]. LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, MIMO antennas and is an all IP based network, therefore it provides higher peak rates than its predecessor 3G and a larger capacity. LTE had gained significant momentum upon release, both providers and consumers were ready to adopt this platform. In comparison to 3G, it had opened doors to many more applications such as sharing larger files, streaming high definition media and even run latency sensitive applications such as video conferencing and viewing remote LTE Specifications [2] Data rates:Downlink: >100 Mbps Uplink: >50 Mbps Radio Technologies: OFDMA, MIMO, SC-FDMA Low Latency:User plane RTT:
