In the year 2021, there are still millions of Americans that do not have a reliable broadband internet connection or lack a connection entirely. This report presents the research and building of a 4G LTE network that future teams can further update and advance as the demand for internet increases. The goal of this major qualifying project is to create the connection setup between base stations and user equipment with set bandwidths. The team attempted to create this connection with many different programs but settled with using the NS-3 network simulator to achieve this goal. This project contributes a starting point for ongoing research and adaptations of 4G LTE networks, through the tutorial chapter and methods.
