LTE Motivation
LTE Motivation
• LTE Needed for higher data rates and greater spectral efficiency.
• LTE is PS Oriented only (3G deals CS and PS domain).
• LTE enhance the user experience more than the 3G.
o LTE user Feel that he is always connected (PS session establishment takes less
than 50 ms and latency 10 ms)
o LTE has no state transitions But In 3G we have State transitions.

LTE vs. HSPA+
Advantage of LTE over HSPA+
Advantage of HSPA+ over LTE
High Data Rates
Better spectrum efficiency (bits per Hz)
Low latency
Saving CAPEX Simple architecture (no RNCs and BSCs)
Lower Cost in managing and maintaining the network (less hardware)
LTE use SON (Self Organizing Network)
• Automatic neighbor Relation addition
• Self configuring Node-b
HSPA+ is already commercial
LTE is complete new network (HSPA+ is less investment)

How to identify the enode-B (LTE Cell)
• In 3G we Define the Cell using Scrambling Code (SC)
• In LTE we have Reference Signal (RS) used to define the Cell
• We have 504 different Reference Signals (RS) used to define the Cells
• S-SCH and P-SCH are used to create the (RS)
We have to be synchronized with RS to be able to demodulate the data
P-SCH (3 orthogonal Sequence )
S-SCH (168 Random Sequence)
504 RSs ( 3 orth. * 168 Random )

LTE UE Measurements
• What UE measure in the DL ?
• RSRP ( Reference Signal Received Power ) for a certain Cell
o Measurements of all RS in all BW as average
o Ranges -40 to -125 dBm

LTE Measurements
• RSSI ( Reference Signal Strength Indicator)
o Is the energy in the complete BW
o Not the RS only but all the Power and it include the thermal noise also
o Neighbor Site interference
LTE Measurements
• RSRQ ( Reference Signal Received Quality )
o Similar to EcNo in 3G (we use it to measure the interference)
o Ranges -3 to -20 dB
o RSRQ = n * RSRP (one cell) / RSSI (Power in whole BW for all )
• n is the number of RBs in all the BW
LTE Measurements
• RSRP and RSRQ are used for handovers and cell selection and Reselection
• Most operators are now use the RSRP for Mobility instead of RSRQ
o change very Fast
o Traffic Dependent due to the RSSI
o Its is sense of the cell not the User

LTE Measurements
• LTE SINR (Signal interference Noise Ratio)
o Is calculated by the UE (no 3GPP but depend on the vendor)
 S ( Power of the RS and Data)
 I ( Interference Signals form other cells)
 N ( back ground noise and Rx Noise coefficient)

    Why SC Carrierin UL o To avoid Peak to Average Power Ratio PAPR o Any PA should be operated in the linear region other wise you will have distortion in the O/P signal Linear Region

    Peaks Of Power PeaksOf Power (PAPR) For DL ( OK ) E-NB has expensive PA sufficient linear region can detail with this peaks For UL (Not OK) UE is cheap PA can’t detail with this peaks FFT Single Carrier For UL Convert Subcarriers to Single Carrier (to Avoid PAPR)
