Viewpoints on LTE & WiMAX
 WiMAX was developed with main objective to offer IP based broadband
internet services as Wireless DSL.
 Both WiMAX and LTE have adopted OFDM technology for downlink, but
different technologies for uplink; LTE UL is SCFDMA, tailored for handheld
terminals with careful consideration on the power consumption.
 LTE is the evolution of mainstream 3G networks. WiMAX has recently
developed eco-system .
 WiMAX face with more spectrum challenges than LTE, because no unified
spectrum available for WiMAX.
 Scattered and isolated TDD spectrum available for WiMAX (2.3, 3.5 GHz)
 WiMAX operators on adjacent bands need to be fully coordinated (out of
regulator’s jurisdiction), or need more guard bands.
Commercial deployment time of HSPA+ will be at 2009 or later, a little earlier than LTE.

Downlink Channels
Uplink Channels
 Large bandwidth and bandwidth flexibility
•With bandwidth increases, the OFDMA signal remains orthogonal while CDMA perf
ormance suffers due to increased multi-path components.
•Dealing with different bandwidths in the same system is more flexible with OFDMA.
 Flat architecture
•When packet scheduling is located in the base station, fast scheduling, including fr
equency domain scheduling, can be applied to improve cell capacity. Frequency do
main scheduling can be done in OFDMA but not in CDMA.
 Amplifier friendly uplink solution
•Lower PAPR is achieved with SC-FDMA than OFDMA, which enables better power
amplifier efficiency in the terminal.
 Simpler multi-antenna operation
•MIMO is simpler to implement with OFDMA than with CDMA.
Why is OFDMA/SC-FDMA?
Physical Layer Multiple Access---What is OFDM ?
 OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, is a kind of multi-carrier
transmission;
 In frequency domain, OFDM divide channel into some sub-channels overlapped
between adjacent sub-channels. These sub-channels are orthogonal.
 High speed data can be decomposed into some low speed sub-data transmitted in
parallel to contrast against fading caused by frequency selectivity.
 Implement of CP can undermine ISI caused by Delay Spread
 OFDM is sensitive to frequency deviation
Physical Layer Multiple Access---DFT-spread OFDM
 Lower PAPR is achieved with SC-FDMA than OFDMA, which enables better power
amplifier efficiency in the terminal;
 Small variations in the instantaneous power of the transmitted signal (‘single-carrier’ prop
erty);
 Possibility for low-complexity high-quality equalization in the frequency domain;
 Possibility for FDMA with flexible bandwidth assignment.
Physical Layer Multiple Access--- OFDMA: Downlink
multiple access
 Up to 64 QAM can be used
 Resistance to multi-path interference by Cyclic Prefix.
 Friendly to MIMO.

Peak Bit Rate
With 4 * 4 MIMO, the theoretical peak rate will reach 340 Mbps.
UE Categories
 In order to scale the development of equipment, UE categories have
been defined to limit certain parameters
 The most significant parameter is the supported data rates:
All figures provisional from TS 36.306 V8.0.0. The UE category must be the
same for downlink and uplink.
Radio Frame Structure---FDD
 One radio frame of 10ms is separated to 10 sub-frame averagely;
 One sub-frame is composed of 2 slots, and one slot is 0.5ms;
 Any sub-frame could be uplink sub-frame or downlink sub-frame for transmission.

 If spectrum re-farming is permitted by regulators, part of 900/1800M,
and part of 2.1G should be considered for using as LTE spectrum.
 Technology neutral is a trend in many countries, making re-farming
more and more possible.
 Bandwidth of 1.4/3 MHz for LTE is more feasible in the near term than 5
MHz for HSPA+, e.g. in 900 MHz band.

     Large bandwidthand bandwidth flexibility •With bandwidth increases, the OFDMA signal remains orthogonal while CDMA perf ormance suffers due to increased multi-path components. •Dealing with different bandwidths in the same system is more flexible with OFDMA.  Flat architecture •When packet scheduling is located in the base station, fast scheduling, including fr equency domain scheduling, can be applied to improve cell capacity. Frequency do main scheduling can be done in OFDMA but not in CDMA.  Amplifier friendly uplink solution •Lower PAPR is achieved with SC-FDMA than OFDMA, which enables better power amplifier efficiency in the terminal.  Simpler multi-antenna operation •MIMO is simpler to implement with OFDMA than with CDMA. Why is OFDMA/SC-FDMA?

    Physical Layer MultipleAccess---What is OFDM ?  OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, is a kind of multi-carrier transmission;  In frequency domain, OFDM divide channel into some sub-channels overlapped between adjacent sub-channels. These sub-channels are orthogonal.  High speed data can be decomposed into some low speed sub-data transmitted in parallel to contrast against fading caused by frequency selectivity.  Implement of CP can undermine ISI caused by Delay Spread  OFDM is sensitive to frequency deviation

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Remarks: 1.VF/TIM/Telenor/Telefonica will adopt WCDMA evolution to LTE FDD; 2.CMCC chose TD-SCDMA evolution to LTE TDD; 3.Telstra gave up CDMA 2000 EVDO and choose WCDMA evolution to LTE FDD; 4.Verizon chose EVDO Rev A evolution to LTE FDD; 5.Almost all the top 10 operators will choose LTE evolution.
  • #6 Remarks: LTE has many advantages such as highest data rate, highest spectrum efficiency, various spectrum bands choice, etc; The UMB industry becomes very weak and even Qualcomm decided to give up continuous UMB R&D.
  • #8  Issues with Migrating from Legacy RAN architecture to Flat RAN Architecture with HSPA+ eNodeBs HSPA+: 3GPP release 7 HSPA+: 3GPP Flat Architecture 64 QAM and 2*2 MIMO in release 8 ZTEs Recommendations: ZTE proposes that Flat Architecture with HSPA+ is not easy to realize. ZTE propose to move to LTE. Continue with HSPA+ using release 7 with Legacy Architecture One reason to go Flat with HSPA+ will be for PS domain but a hybrid network architecture increases the complexitiy of managing the network MIMO is not recommended with HSPA+ because it will require a change in NodeBs and existing handsets will not support the MIMO feature
