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 Backwards compatible Wide application

Evolution of Radio Access Technologies

LTE Basic Concepts

LTE employs Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for downlink data transmission and Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) for uplink transmission

Frequency Selective Fading

the coherence bandwidth of the channel is smaller than the bandwidth of the signal

It may be useless for increasing transmission power

Frequency Correlation > 0.9Bc = 1 / 50α α is r.m.s. delay spread

FDM vs. OFDM

12

LTE-Downlink (OFDM)

Improved spectral efficiency

Reduce ISI effect by multipath

Against frequency selective fading

13

LTE Uplink (SC-FDMA)

SC-FDMA is a new single carrier multiple access technique which has similar structure and performance to OFDMA

A salient advantage of SC-FDMA over OFDM is low to Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) :

Increasing battery life

14

Multi-antenna techniques

15

Generic Frame Structure

Allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) is handled by a scheduling function at the 3GPP base station (eNodeB)

Frame 0 and frame 5 (always downlink)

16

Resource Grid

One frame is 10ms 10 subframes

One subframe is 1ms 2 slots

One slot is 0.5ms N resource blocks[ 6 < N < 110]

One resource block is 0.5ms and contains 12 subcarriers from each OFDM symbol

LTE Release 8 Key Features (1/2)

High spectral efficiency OFDM in Downlink Single Carrier FDMA in Uplink‐

Very low latency Short setup time & Short transfer delay Short hand over latency and interruption time

Support of variable bandwidth 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz

21

LTE Release 8 Key Features (2/2)

Compatibility and interworking with earlier 3GPP Releases

FDD and TDD within a single radio access technology

Efficient Multicast/Broadcast

22

Evolution of LTE-Advanced

Asymmetric transmission bandwidth Layered OFDMA Advanced Multi-cell

Transmission/Reception Techniques Enhanced Multi-antenna Transmission

Techniques Support of Larger Bandwidth in LTE-

Advanced

23

Asymmetric transmission bandwidth Symmetric transmission

voice transmission : UE to UE

Asymmetric transmission streaming video : the server to the UE (the downlink)

24

Layered OFDMA

The bandwidth of basic frequency block is, 15–20 MHz

Layered OFDMA radio access scheme in LTE-A will have layered transmission bandwidth, support of layered environments and control signal formats

25

Advanced Multi-cell Transmission/Reception Techniques

In LTE-A, the advanced multi-cell transmission/reception processes helps in increasing frequency efficiency and cell edge user throughput Estimation unit Calculation unit Determination unit Feedback unit

26

Enhanced Multi-antenna Transmission Techniques In LTE-A, the MIMO scheme has to be further improved

in the area of spectrum efficiency, average cell through put and cell edge performances

In LTE-A the antenna configurations of 8x8 in DL and 4x4 in UL are planned

27

Enhanced Techniques to Extend Coverage Area

Remote Radio Requirements (RREs) using optical fiber should be used in LTE-A as effective technique to extend cell coverage

28

Support of Larger Bandwidth in LTE-Advanced

Peak data rates up to 1Gbps are expected from bandwidths of 100MHz. OFDM adds additional sub-carrier to increase bandwidth

29

LTE vs. LTE-Advanced

Conclusion

LTE-A helps in integrating the existing networks, new networks, services and terminals to suit the escalating user demands

LTE-Advanced will be standardized in the 3GPP specification Release 10 (LTE-A) and will be designed to meet the 4G requirements as defined by ITU
