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


LTE (3.9G) :
3GPP release 8~9
LTE-Advanced :
3GPP release 10+

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

y(t) : output signal
S(t) : input signal

Frequency Selective Fading

the coherence bandwidth of the channel is
smaller than the bandwidth of the signal
Frequency Correlation > 0.9
Bc = 1 / 50α α is r.m.s. delay spread
It may be useless for increasing transmission power

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 SCFDMA over
OFDM is low to

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)
15
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

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
26
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
27
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

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
