3GPP LTE objectives > Scalable bandwidth : 125, 25, 5, 10, (15), 20MHz > Peak data rate (scaling linearly with the spectrum allocation) DL (2 Rx @ UE) : 100Mb/s for 20MHz spectrum allocation UL (1 Tx @ UE) : 50Mb/s for 20MHz spectrum allocation > Spectrum efficiency DL : 3-4 times HSDPA for MIMO (2,2) UL : 2-3 times HSUPA for MIMO(1,2) > Reference Antenna configurations (targets) DL : 2Tx and 2 Rx UL : 1 Tx and 2 Rx > Latency C-plane : < 50-100ms to establish U-plane U-plane : < 10ms from UE to server > Capacity 200 users for 5MHz, 400 users in larger spectrum allocations (active state) > Mobility LTE is optimised for low speeds 0-15km/h but mobility is maintained for speeds up to 350km/h 4

UL: Single Carrier (SC)-FDMA > DFT-spreading of data symbols in frequency domain > Low PAPR > Subcarrier mapping Distributed mapping Frequency diversity Transmit signal similar to IFDMA Localized mapping Multi-user user diversity (frequency domain scheduling) transmit signal similar to narrowband single-carrier > MMSE equalization to restore code orthogonality 7
UL: Interleaved FDMA (IFDMA) 2π j kt T e can be used by different users comb-shaped spectrum > Also known as distributed SC-FDMA > Hybrid of single-carrier and OFDM concepts Low PAPR (same as single carrier) > Orthogonal uplink as each user is assigned set of sub-carriers orthogonal to other users > Receiver is based on FDE (eg MMSE) 8
Localized vs Distributed 5/4 = 125 MHz Localized Less frequency diversity Higher FER for narrowband users Time domain channel has larger power fluctuations Difficult to choose appropriate MCS due to rapid channel fluctuations Less accurate power control Low-rate user may block a high-rate (broadband) user from the channel, especially if channel dependent scheduling is used Narrowband filter has longer impulse response reduces effective CP length (IFDMA only) Channel estimation not degraded at low bandwidths 5 MHz Distributed, RF = 4 Larger frequency diversity Low-rate and high-rate h users coexist peacefully Time domain channel has less power fluctuation More stable MCS selection More accurate power control Channel estimation becomes degraded for very large repetition factors Tighter frequency synchronization may be required 9
