FDD \u2013 Frequency Division Duplex is something that was used commonly in 3G. It\u2019s paired spectrum with an uplink band and a downlink band in their specific spectrum.

There is a guard band in between the transmit band and the receive band. FDD was very popular with GSM and CDMA. It is very difficult to take advantage of MIMO antenna technology in FDD compared to TDD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>What is TDD? TDD \u2013 Time Division Duplex is where there is one large piece if spectrum used for uplink or downlink. Any part or percentage can be assigned to be the uplink or downlink.

Instead, you have full control over how much goes up and comes down. The downside that some carriers had been the timing of the spectrum, and it&#8217;s higher bands that have this. However, Wi-Fi spectrum is pretty much all TDD, and it works quite well for data. On the other hand, WiMAX used TDD, and it seemed to be taking off but it never fully blossomed and was cast aside for LTE. TDD makes MIMO technology easier to use because it is all in one band.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>T<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1520231172\" target=\"_blank\">he Wireless Deployment Handbook \u00a0Paperback that covers <\/a><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2015\/11\/12\/wireless-deployment-handbook-for-lte-small-cells-and-das\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23035\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Cover-V7-LTE.jpg?resize=88%2C117&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Get the Wireless Deployment Handbook today!\" width=\"88\" height=\"117\" \/><\/a>professional carrier end to end deployment of LTE small cells, CRAN, and DAS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, what can LTE do? It can do both, and it does do both. Just not the same equipment. You could have equipment do either LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD. Both are released commercially as well as part of the 3GPP standard. When you look at the deployments, it helps to know which format will be deployed. You see, FDD may need two antennas or a combiner to work on a tower. While TDD is all in the same spectrum and the same antenna is used for transmit and receive. The way that today\u2019s radio heads work it isn\u2019t much of an issue anymore because they can handle the formats quite well. In 2016, you still can\u2019t run them together in the same radio head, although the OEMs are working towards that functionality. Antennas are being designed to run both together by adding more ports and more weight to the antennas.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Wi-Fi is TDD and ZigBee is TDD. Most Bluetooth is TDD. TDD appears to be the choice moving forward.

As of 2016, most of the carriers already have implemented VoLTE into their main networks, all except maybe Sprint who was still relying on CDMA to carry the voice. The carriers know that when they convert VoLTE, it should be the last step to dismantling the 3G networks, saving them money in the long run by retiring 2G and 3G systems.<\/p>\n<p>Sprint is a great example of having both.
