September 2015 Session 3: Technical Aspects of LTE
LTE air-interface and radio network OFDM Why OFDM?  To overcome the effect of multi path fading problem available in UMTS, LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for the downlink.  OFDM uses a large number of narrow sub-carriers for multi-carrier transmission to carry data.
LTE air-interface and radio network OFDM Pros & Cons of OFDM + Good performance in frequency selective fading channels; + Good+ Low complexity of base-band receiver; + Robust against inter-symbol interference (ISI) + Less sensitivity to timing-offsets + Ease of implementation in terms of architecture (i.e. FFT & IFFT blocks) - High peak to average power ratio (PAPR) - Lower data-rate efficiency due to CP overhead - High sensitivity to carrier frequency offsets
LTE air-interface and radio network Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI)  Overlap of neighboring subcarriers → Inter Carrier Interference (ICI).
LTE air-interface and radio network inter-symbol interference (ISI)  In telecommunication, inter-symbol interference (ISI) is a form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols.
LTE air-interface and radio network Cyclic Prefix  The Cyclic Prefix represents a guard period at the start of each OFDMA symbol which provides protection against multi-path delay spread.  Cyclic Prefix guarantees the suppression of ISI and ICI!
LTE air-interface and radio network Length of CP
LTE air-interface and radio network SC-FDMA  LTE uses a pre-coded version of OFDM called Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC- FDMA) in the uplink.  For uplink transmissions, OFDM is not ideal due to high PAPR  High PAPR requires expensive and inefficient power amplifiers with high requirements on linearity, which increases the cost of the terminal and drains the battery faster.
Symbols, slots, radio blocks & frame structure in OFDM Frame Structure  Two radio frame structures defined: 1. Frame structure type 1 (FS1): FDD. 2. Frame structure type 2 (FS2): TDD.  A radio frame has duration of 10 ms.  A resource block (RB) spans 12 subcarriers over a slot duration of 0.5 ms.  One subcarrier has bandwidth of 15 kHz, thus 180 kHz per RB.
Symbols, slots, radio blocks & frame structure in OFDM FDD frame structure  Subcarrier spacing is set to 15 KHz regardless of overall channel BW.  To reduce the overhead of resource assignment, 7 consecutive symbols on 12 successive subcarriers are  grouped into an Resource Block(RB).  An RB occupies 1 slot of a duration of 0.5 milliseconds.  A Subframe consists of 2 RBs (i.e., 2 slots)and hence is of a duration of 1 millisecond.  Each frame has a duration of 10 milliseconds consisting of 10 subframes

Symbols, slots, radio blocks & frame structure in OFDM Resource Grid
Uplink and Downlink Channels FDD  In FDD mode (Operation in paired spectrum) all subframes of a carrier either used for uplink or in downlink
Uplink and Downlink Channels TDD  Using time division duplex (TDD), the base station and mobile transmit and receive on the same carrier frequency but at different times.  Advantages of using LTE TDD: it is possible to dynamically change the up and downlink balance and characteristics to meet the load conditions.
Uplink and Downlink Channels TDD  7 up / downlink configurations have been defined.  In TDD mode, The first and sixth subframes (subframes 0 and 5) are always allocated to the DL and The other sub-frames can be allocated to UL or DL  The 1st and 6th subframes contain synchronization signals.
Uplink and Downlink Channels FDD vs. TDD  FDD and TDD modes have different advantages and disadvantages.  In FDD mode, the bandwidths of the uplink and downlink are fixed and are usually the same. This makes it suitable for voice communications, in which the uplink and downlink data rates are very similar.  In TDD mode, the system can adjust how much time is allocated to the uplink and downlink. This makes it suitable for applications such as web browsing, in which the downlink data rate can be much greater than the rate on the uplink.  TDD mode can be badly affected by interference if, for example, one base station is transmitting while a nearby base station is receiving.
Modulation Enhanced Bits/Symbol 8-PSK (3 Bits per symbol)
MIMO Advantages:  Improve capacity (Spectral Efficiency)  Extended Coverage  No allocation of extra spectrum  High peak data rates
MIMO Beamforming
MIMO Transmission Mode (TM)
MIMO Transmission Mode (TM)
MIMO Utilization of TM
QoS QoS parameters  A bearer has two or four QoS parameters, depending on whether it is a real-time or best effort service: 1. QoS Class Indicator (QCI) 2. Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP) 3. Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) ; (real-time services only) 4. Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) ; (real-time services only)
QoS QoS Class Indicator (QCI)  The 3GPP has defined a series of standardized QCI types.  For first deployments, a majority of operators will likely start with three basic service classes: voice, control signaling, and best-effort data.
QoS Guaranteed Bit Rate & Non-GBR Bearers  There are two major types of bearers: 1. Guaranteed Bit Rate  A GBR bearer has a minimum amount of bandwidth that is reserved by the network  GBR bearers are used for real-time services, such as conversational voice and video.  If implemented properly, GBR bearers should not experience packet loss on the radio link or the IP network due to congestion.  GBR bearers will also be defined with the lower latency and jitter tolerances that are typically required by real-time services. 2. Non-Guaranteed Bit Rate.  Non-GBR bearers, do not have specific network bandwidth allocation.  Non-GBR bearers are for best-effort services, such as file downloads, email, and Internet browsing.  These bearers will experience packet loss when a network is congested.
September 2015 Session 4: LTE; Continual Evolution
LTE: continual evolution LTE Release overview Rel-8 Rel-9 Rel-10 Rel-11 Rel-12 Rel-8 (2008) • High spectral efficiency • Very low latency • variable bandwidth • Simple Architecture • FDD and TDD mode • SON Support • HeNB /CSG support Rel-9 (2009) • eMBMS • LTE MIMO: dual layer • Enhanced Home eNodeB • Positioning Rel-10 (2011) • Relays • HetNet • MBMS enhancement • enhanced SON Rel-11 (2013) • Carrier Aggregation • E-PDCCH • Network based positioning • enhanced SON Rel-12 (2014) • small cell enhancements • WiFi offload & interworking • Public safety • Enhanced Carrier Aggregation • D2D
Important features of LTE Release 1. Self Organizing Networks Self organizing network functionalities are commonly divided into three major sub functional groups, each containing a wide range of decomposed use cases. 1. Self Configuration functions 2. Self Optimization functions 3. Self healing functions SON Optimization Configurationhealing
Important features of LTE Release 1. Self Organizing Networks Optimization ConfigurationHealing Coverage and Capacity Optimization (CCO) Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO) Mobility Load Balancing (MLO) Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) Random Access Channel (RACH) Energy Savings Base station self configuration Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) Cell Outage Detection and Compensation Automated Fault Identification
Important features of LTE Release 2. Relays The types of relays can be roughly separated by the layers within the protocol architecture that are involved in the relay transmission: • Layer 1 (L1) Relay. Also called Amplify-and-Forward Relay, Layer 1 (L1) Relay is simple and easy to implement through RF amplification with relatively low latency. • Layer 2 (L2) Relay. Layer 2 (L2) Relay performs the decode-and-forward operation and has more freedom to achieve performance optimization. • Layer 3 (L3) Relay. Also called Self-Backhauling, Layer 3 (L3) Relay has less impact to eNB design and it may introduce more overhead compared with L2 Relay.
Important features of LTE Release 3. Carrier Aggregation Carrier aggregation across:  multiple carriers,  multiple bands,  and across licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Advantages:  Higher peak data rates  Higher user data rate and lower latencies for all users  More capacity for typical ‘bursty’ usage (such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Skype…)  Leverages all spectrum assets
Important features of LTE Release 3. Carrier Aggregation  Three different modes being defined for carrier aggregation:
Important features of LTE Release 4. Heterogeneous Network The heterogeneous network can be characterized by deployments where low power nodes are placed as an underlay throughout a macrocell deployment. These low power nodes include micro, pico, Remote Radio Heads (RRH), relay and femto nodes. The most challenging aspect in the deployment of heterogeneous networks is the interference issues generated by sharing the carrier with the overlaid macro nodes.
September 2015 Session 5: New Services and Better Experiences
VoLTE Why Voice over LTE? VoLTE is necessary because:  Voice is still dominant source of revenue  To provide better experiment of service  Competing with OTT players
VoLTE Method to provide Voice in LTE CSFB: Fallback to CS domain when voice service is requested •Pros - Service Consistency - Using existing CS Infrastructure •Cons - Call setup delay - Heavy signaling - MSC Upgrade( for SGs interface) - No LTE during voice
VoLTE Method to provide Voice in LTE SV-LTE: Allows UE to access both to LTE and WCDMA/GSM/CDMA simultaneously •Pros -No new modification is required -Using existing CS Infrastructure -Simultaneous service available between voice and data • Cons -Cost of Handset increase due to dual modem chip -High battery utilization
VoLTE Method to provide Voice in LTE SR-VCC: Allows UE with active call to switch to CS network when LTE Coverage is lost •Pros -Service Consistency -Lower Call Setup times than CSFB • Cons -Requirement of an IMS core network ( SCC-AS ) -Session transfer and remote UE update need time -MSC Upgrade ( for Sv interface )
VoLTE Method to provide Voice in LTE VoLTE: IMS based voice over LTE services • Pros -Provide Rich Communication Suite -Fast call setup time -Fixed and Mobile Convergence • Cons -Need ecosystem to support interoperation with legacy services & roaming.
VoLTE HD Voice & Video Calls  2.2 times wider bandwidth for voice signal Bandwidth for 3G : 300 ~ 3,400Hz Bandwidth for VoLTE : 50 ~ 7,000Hz  Up to 20 times faster call setup time Call Setup time in 3G : 5 sec Call Setup time in VoLTE : 0.25 ~ 2.5 sec  12 times improved resolution for video call Resolution in 3G Video call : QCIF 176 x 144 Resolution in VoLTE Video call : VGA 640 x 480
VoLTE QoS ( Quality of Service ) Support  Provide Quality of Service by separating default bearer channel and dedicated bearer channel in priority – Service differentiation with OTT Players.

    LTE air-interface andradio network OFDM Why OFDM?  To overcome the effect of multi path fading problem available in UMTS, LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for the downlink.  OFDM uses a large number of narrow sub-carriers for multi-carrier transmission to carry data.
  • 33.
    LTE air-interface andradio network OFDM Pros & Cons of OFDM + Good performance in frequency selective fading channels; + Good+ Low complexity of base-band receiver; + Robust against inter-symbol interference (ISI) + Less sensitivity to timing-offsets + Ease of implementation in terms of architecture (i.e. FFT & IFFT blocks) - High peak to average power ratio (PAPR) - Lower data-rate efficiency due to CP overhead - High sensitivity to carrier frequency offsets
  • 34.
    LTE air-interface andradio network Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI)  Overlap of neighboring subcarriers → Inter Carrier Interference (ICI).
  • 35.
    LTE air-interface andradio network inter-symbol interference (ISI)  In telecommunication, inter-symbol interference (ISI) is a form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols.
  • 36.
    LTE air-interface andradio network Cyclic Prefix  The Cyclic Prefix represents a guard period at the start of each OFDMA symbol which provides protection against multi-path delay spread.  Cyclic Prefix guarantees the suppression of ISI and ICI!
  • 37.
    LTE air-interface andradio network Length of CP
  • 38.
    LTE air-interface andradio network SC-FDMA  LTE uses a pre-coded version of OFDM called Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC- FDMA) in the uplink.  For uplink transmissions, OFDM is not ideal due to high PAPR  High PAPR requires expensive and inefficient power amplifiers with high requirements on linearity, which increases the cost of the terminal and drains the battery faster.
  • 39.
    Symbols, slots, radioblocks & frame structure in OFDM Frame Structure  Two radio frame structures defined: 1. Frame structure type 1 (FS1): FDD. 2. Frame structure type 2 (FS2): TDD.  A radio frame has duration of 10 ms.  A resource block (RB) spans 12 subcarriers over a slot duration of 0.5 ms.  One subcarrier has bandwidth of 15 kHz, thus 180 kHz per RB.
  • 40.
    Symbols, slots, radioblocks & frame structure in OFDM FDD frame structure  Subcarrier spacing is set to 15 KHz regardless of overall channel BW.  To reduce the overhead of resource assignment, 7 consecutive symbols on 12 successive subcarriers are  grouped into an Resource Block(RB).  An RB occupies 1 slot of a duration of 0.5 milliseconds.  A Subframe consists of 2 RBs (i.e., 2 slots)and hence is of a duration of 1 millisecond.  Each frame has a duration of 10 milliseconds consisting of 10 subframes

    Uplink and DownlinkChannels FDD  In FDD mode (Operation in paired spectrum) all subframes of a carrier either used for uplink or in downlink
  • 44.
    Uplink and DownlinkChannels TDD  Using time division duplex (TDD), the base station and mobile transmit and receive on the same carrier frequency but at different times.  Advantages of using LTE TDD: it is possible to dynamically change the up and downlink balance and characteristics to meet the load conditions.
  • 45.
    Uplink and DownlinkChannels TDD  7 up / downlink configurations have been defined.  In TDD mode, The first and sixth subframes (subframes 0 and 5) are always allocated to the DL and The other sub-frames can be allocated to UL or DL  The 1st and 6th subframes contain synchronization signals.
  • 46.
    Uplink and DownlinkChannels FDD vs. TDD  FDD and TDD modes have different advantages and disadvantages.  In FDD mode, the bandwidths of the uplink and downlink are fixed and are usually the same. This makes it suitable for voice communications, in which the uplink and downlink data rates are very similar.  In TDD mode, the system can adjust how much time is allocated to the uplink and downlink. This makes it suitable for applications such as web browsing, in which the downlink data rate can be much greater than the rate on the uplink.  TDD mode can be badly affected by interference if, for example, one base station is transmitting while a nearby base station is receiving.

    MIMO Advantages:  Improve capacity(Spectral Efficiency)  Extended Coverage  No allocation of extra spectrum  High peak data rates

  • 53.
    QoS QoS parameters  Abearer has two or four QoS parameters, depending on whether it is a real-time or best effort service: 1. QoS Class Indicator (QCI) 2. Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP) 3. Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) ; (real-time services only) 4. Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) ; (real-time services only)
  • 54.
    QoS QoS Class Indicator(QCI)  The 3GPP has defined a series of standardized QCI types.  For first deployments, a majority of operators will likely start with three basic service classes: voice, control signaling, and best-effort data.
  • 55.
    QoS Guaranteed Bit Rate& Non-GBR Bearers  There are two major types of bearers: 1. Guaranteed Bit Rate  A GBR bearer has a minimum amount of bandwidth that is reserved by the network  GBR bearers are used for real-time services, such as conversational voice and video.  If implemented properly, GBR bearers should not experience packet loss on the radio link or the IP network due to congestion.  GBR bearers will also be defined with the lower latency and jitter tolerances that are typically required by real-time services. 2. Non-Guaranteed Bit Rate.  Non-GBR bearers, do not have specific network bandwidth allocation.  Non-GBR bearers are for best-effort services, such as file downloads, email, and Internet browsing.  These bearers will experience packet loss when a network is congested.

    Important features ofLTE Release 2. Relays The types of relays can be roughly separated by the layers within the protocol architecture that are involved in the relay transmission: • Layer 1 (L1) Relay. Also called Amplify-and-Forward Relay, Layer 1 (L1) Relay is simple and easy to implement through RF amplification with relatively low latency. • Layer 2 (L2) Relay. Layer 2 (L2) Relay performs the decode-and-forward operation and has more freedom to achieve performance optimization. • Layer 3 (L3) Relay. Also called Self-Backhauling, Layer 3 (L3) Relay has less impact to eNB design and it may introduce more overhead compared with L2 Relay.
  • 61.
    Important features ofLTE Release 3. Carrier Aggregation Carrier aggregation across:  multiple carriers,  multiple bands,  and across licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Advantages:  Higher peak data rates  Higher user data rate and lower latencies for all users  More capacity for typical ‘bursty’ usage (such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Skype…)  Leverages all spectrum assets
  • 62.
    Important features ofLTE Release 3. Carrier Aggregation  Three different modes being defined for carrier aggregation:
  • 63.
    Important features ofLTE Release 4. Heterogeneous Network The heterogeneous network can be characterized by deployments where low power nodes are placed as an underlay throughout a macrocell deployment. These low power nodes include micro, pico, Remote Radio Heads (RRH), relay and femto nodes. The most challenging aspect in the deployment of heterogeneous networks is the interference issues generated by sharing the carrier with the overlaid macro nodes.
