Which of the following is a 4G standard?

• A. LTE
• B. EDGE
• C. GPRS
• D. CDMA2000

Answer: (A)

LTE represents the 4G standard because it was built to meet the goals of 4G: much higher data speeds, lower latency, and an all-IP core that simplifies and speeds up network services. It achieves these advances with technologies like OFDMA for the downlink and MIMO to increase capacity, pushing peak data rates well beyond what 3G offered. The other options are older generations: EDGE and GPRS are 2G or 2.5G data technologies with relatively slow speeds, while CDMA2000 evolved into 3G (and later revs) rather than meeting the defined 4G performance targets in the ITU framework. So LTE is the clear 4G standard among these choices.
