What is LTE?

In Nov. 2004, 3GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology Higher performance (Data rates && Reduced delay/latency ) Backwards compatible Wide application Works with IP network

LTE is the next generation of Mobile broadband technology

3GPP UMTS Long-Term Evolution

By Hussein AL-Sanabani

LTE TARGETs Packet-Domain-Services only (e.g. VoIP) TCP/IP- based layers

Higher peak data rate/ user throughput 150 Mbps DL/75 Mbps UL @20MHz bandwidth

Reduced delay/latency user-plane latency<10ms

Improved spectrum efficiency up to 200 active users in a cell @5MHz bandwidth

Mobility optimized for low-mobility (up to 15Km/h), supported with high performance for medium mobility (up to 120 Km/h), supported for high mobility (up to 500 Km/h)

Multimedia broadcast & multicast services

Spectrum flexibility ( Support of scalable bandwidth: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 MHz)

Support for interworking with legacy networks

Cost-efficiency:1. Cost-effective when add new node (upgrade) in LTE network.2. Cost-effective migration from legacy networks

Coverage up to 30 Km By Hussein AL-Sanabani

Network Architecture – E-UTRAN

User Equipment

Evolved Node B (eNB) Functionalities: 1) Provides radio resource management functions, and handover

events

2) Provides admission control and scheduling

Network Architecture Evolved Packet Core

Mobility Management Entity key control-node for the LTE access-network.

Functionalities: deals with the control plane.1) Manages mobility and provides security

Responsible for control procedures, such as authentication and

security, and storing of users’ position information

Network Architecture Evolved Packet Core (Cont)

Serving Gateway Functionalities: deal with the user plane

1) Responsible for routing and forwarding user data packets

2) Provides MobilityActs as mobility anchor for inter-eNB handovers and for mobility between LTE and other 3GPP(mobility interface to other networks such as 2G/3G).

Packet Data Network Gateway Functionalities: deal with the user plane

1) Provides connectivity to the UE to external packet data networks (IP networks (Internet)).

2) Performs policy enforcement, packet filtering for each user, support charging, etc.

3) Act as the anchor for mobility between 3GPP and non-3GPP technologies (WiMAX)

Spectrum Flexibility

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) for downlink

SC-FDMA (Single Carrier – Frequency Division Multiple Access) for uplink

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)

FDM vs. OFDM

By Hussein AL-Sanabani

Difference between OFDM and OFDMA

LTE uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) more advanced form of OFDM where subcarriers are allocated to

different users over time

By Hussein AL-Sanabani

LTE downlink OFDMA

LTE provides QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM as downlink modulation schemes

Cyclic prefix is used as guard interval

15 kHz subcarrier spacing

Scalable bandwidth By Hussein AL-Sanabani

LTE Uplink (SC-FDMA)

l Similar to OFDM signal, but… in OFDM, each sub-carrier only carries information

related to one specific symbol, in SC-FDMA, each sub-carrier contains information of

ALL transmitted symbols.

By Hussein AL-Sanabani

SC-FDMA vs. OFDMAA salient advantage of SC-FDMA over OFDMA is low to Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) :

Increasing battery life

Title: An efficient power-saving transmission mechanism in LTE

macrocell-femtocell hybrid networks

This paper discusses how to improve the energy - saving performance by using LTE macrocell-femtocell hybrid networks.

This mechanism is able to greatly improve the energy -saving performance, while maintaining the required data rate, by intelligently activating /deactivating each Femto Group (FG).

The results of this paper demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to achieve a much better energy -saving performance, when compared it with the existing approaches .

In this paper discuss the usability of LTE to support vehicular applications, as they currently do by IEEE 802.11p (e.g., road safety and traffic efficiency services). And also support the applications mainly benefit from this promising cellular technology (e.g., VoIP, file sharing, video streaming, web browsing, social networking, blog uploading, gaming, cloud access).

They say how to Take advantage from strengths of LTE (high capacity, wide coverage, high performance) to face the well-known drawbacks of IEEE 802.11p (poor scalability, low capacity, intermittent connectivity).

LTE has overcome over IEEE 802.11p in terms of coverage (e.g.,In rural areas where the car density is low.
