LTE vulnerable to attacks

if(P_noise > P_signal && Bandwidth_noise > Bandwidth_signal)
{
jam = true;
}

Any RF signal is subjectable to some form of jamming.
 
T3rminator is correct. I have not studied the specifics of LTE, but from the top of my head, LTE might have a lower encoding rate than current technologies to increase the throughput. Furthermore, if LTE uses a highly populated symbol map it would be more susceptible to noise.
 
Well it's far more succeptable to jamming than WCDMA, but it is still a multicarrier technology, so you would need a jammer that blocks an entire frequency range.

You might be able to jam a few subcarriers but to jam the whole band?

Also pilot signals used for synch and equalization are often spread across the frequency band and different techniques use different sized FFTs therefore different positions in the frequency band, I really don't think it is as easy as this article makes it sound to be.

You would need a large amplified signal blocking at least half the pilot signals?
