Why LTE? Further demand for higher data rates (peak and average) and a significant decrease of atency, How this can be achieved? Re-use of features ike CQI, adaptive moduation and coding, HARQ, Using higher bandwidths, but fexibe and scaabe, ony possibe by using another transmission scheme, Further atency reduction with simper and fatter network architecture, Cost efficiency Affordabe ro-out costs (CAPEX 1) ), ow maintenance cost (OPEX 2) ), Wordwide network operator commitments for LTE, 1) CAPita Expenditures 2) OPerationa EXpenditure LTE technoogy introduction p 8

What is OFDM basicay? Orthogona Frequency Division Mutipex (OFDM) is a muticarrier transmission technique, which divides the avaiabe spectrum into many subcarriers, each one being moduated by a ow data rate stream, Singe Carrier Transmission (e.g. WCDMA) 5 MHz (Orthogona ) Frequency Division Mutipexing ((O)FDM) Typicay severa 100 sub-carriers with spacing of x khz e.g. 5 MHz LTE technoogy introduction p 15

OFDM Summary Advantages and disadvantages High spectra efficiency due to efficient use of avaiabe bandwidth, Scaabe bandwidths and data rates, Robust against narrow-band cochanne interference, Intersymbo Interference (ISI) and fading caused by mutipath propagation, Can easiy adapt to severe channe conditions without compex equaization 1-tap equaization in frequency domain, Low sensitivity to time synchronization errors, Very sensitive to frequency synchronization, Phase noise, frequency and cock offset, Sensitive to Dopper shift, Guard interva required to minimize effects of ISI and ICI, High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), due to the independent phases of the sub-carriers mean that they wi often combine constructivey, High-resoution DAC and ADC required, Requiring inear transmitter circuitry, which suffers from poor power efficiency, Any non-inearity wi cause intermoduation distortion raising phase noise, causing Inter- Carrier Interference (ICI) and out-of-band spurious radiation.

Measurement Rea-time MIMO fading up to 4 x 2 and 2 x 4 4 x 2 MIMO up to 3 GHz two SMU200A Each of the four basebands represent one transmit antenna. The two receive antennas are represented by combining the first RF outputs of both SMU200A and the second RF outputs of both SMU200A by RF combiners respectivey. By doing so, a eight possibe fading channes of a 4 x 2 MIMO setup can be simuated. Minimum instrument configuration: Both SMU200A need the same options as described above for the 2 x 2 MIMO case.
