In the recent years followed by strongly growth, mobile broadband starts governing the traffic. For the purpose of satisfying user it is from high importance mobile network operators to assess the needed network capacity, when facing the boosting demand and shortage of the available spectrum. The deployment of 3G and nowadays 4G has resulted in increased capacity, but due to the essential shift of the traffic balance of the mobile networks caused by broadband data load, the support of the much higher peak rates, higher throughput and coverage will become necessity soon. LTE-Advanced (or LTE Release 10) is expected more and more to significantly enhance the LTE Release 8 resulting in a better user experience. Altogether, this paper addresses the high level analysis of LTE-Advanced capacity and data rates dimensioning as key issue being considered for the future.
