Motivation for LTE • LTE: 3GPP Release 8, frozen in December 200. • The motivation: • Need to ensure the continuity of competitiveness of the 3G system for the future • User demand for higher data rates and quality of service • Packet Switch optimised system • Continued demand for cost reduction (CAPEX and OPEX) • Low complexity • Avoid unnecessary fragmentation of technologies for paired and unpaired band operation
Why LTE? • LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network), introduced in 3GPP R8, is the access part of the Evolved Packet System (EPS). • The main requirements: • high spectral efficiency, • high peak data rates, • short round trip time • flexibility in frequency and bandwidth • All IP network.
GSM, GPRS, UMTS • GSM:circuit switchedconnection with very low data rates. • GPRS: an IP based packet switched network with the evolution of GSM using TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). • UMTS (Universal Mobile Terrestrial System): • WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) • circuit switched connection for real time services • packet switched connection for datacom services • IP address is allocated to the UE when a datacom service is established and released when the service is released. • Incoming datacom services are therefore still relying upon the circuit switched core for paging.
LTE Architecture • Purely IP based. Both real time services and datacom services will be carried by the IP protocol. • The IP address is allocated when the mobile is switched on and released when switched off. • Access solution: • OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) • higher order modulation (up to 64QAM), • large bandwidths (up to 20 MHz) • spatial multiplexing in the downlink (up to 4x4 • 75 Mbps in the uplink, and 300 Mbps in the downlink.
Evolved NodeB (eNodeB) The LTE access network: a network of base stations, evolved NodeB (eNB). No centralized intelligent controller eNBs are normally inter-connected via the X2-interface and towards the core network by the S1-interface. Speed up the connection set-up. Reduce the time required for a handover.
MAC protocol The scheduler is a key component for the achievement of a fast adjusted and efficiently utilized radio resource. LTE: a distributed scheduling, decided by UE eNB leading to fast communication. UMTS: a centralized scheduling, decided by controller and NB The Transmission Time Interval (TTI) is set to only 1 ms.
eNB Scheduler • During each TTI, UEs report their perceived radio quality to eNB. • eNB decides Modulation and Coding scheme. • Prioritize the QoS service requirements amongst the UEs. • delay sensitive real-time services • datacom services • eNB informs the UEs of allocated radio resources both on the downlink and on the uplink. • User data will be carried in a Transport Block (TB).
Multiple Access Multicarrier approach for was chosen by 3GPP. For the downlink, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) was selected. For the uplink, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier - Frequency Division Multiple Access) also known as DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) spread OFDMA.
Frequency Bands • E-UTRA operating bands: 700 MHz up to 2.7GHz. • The available bandwidths are also flexible starting with 1.4 MHz up to 20 MHz. • Support both the time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD). • In R8 there are 15 bands specified for FDD and eight bands for TTD. • In R9 four bands were added for FDD. • In R9, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), and Home eNB (HeNB) are added.
MBMS Broadcast information to all users, for example advertisement. Multicast to a closed group subscribing to a specific service, e.g. streaming TV.
HeNB HeNB is low power eNB that will be used in small cells – femto cells. Provide coverage indoors, in homes or offices. owned by the customer, deployed without any network planning and connected to the operators EPC (Evolved Packet Core).
