Why small cells?

Additional capacity to address hotspot demands and enhanced radio link quality

Increase Network Capacity/Coverage

Improve user experience across the cell, not just centre of the cell

Solve the Cell Edge Challenge

Small Cells provide up to 55% TCO gain over Macro Cells

Improve TCO

Bringing the signal closer to users

MACRO-ONLY IS SUB-OPTIMAL SOLUTIONCoverage and capacity limitations

SMALL CELLS PROVIDE THE NEXT LEAP IN PERFORMANCE (METRO AND FEMTO)Higher capacityHigher spectral efficiency

LEVERAGE MULTI-LAYERS ENVIRONMENTApplications, network automation (SON, ICIC, etc.), and inherent capacity relief will drive more small cell deployments

LTE Scheduler

Basic time-frequency resource unit = Resource Block (RB)(A RB corresponds to 12 sub-carriers in freq (180 KHz) over 1 subframe in time (1ms = 14 OFDM symbols))

The total number of available RBs depends on the bandwidth (from a minimum of 6 PRBs for 1.4 MHz up to a maximum of 100 PRBs for 20 MHz)

Channel Status Indicators

LTE Scheduler Functions

Aims to maximise air interface resource usage while minimise interference to neighbouring cells & distribute resources fairly across different users

Resource Assignment: it allocates air interface resources to selected active users (on per TTI basis)

Packet Scheduler: it arbitrates access to air interface resources (on 1ms-TTI basis) amongst all active users

Link Adaptation: it selects the optimal combination of parameters, i.e. modulation, channel coding & transmit schemes as a function of the radio conditions

Power Control: it not only provides the desired SINR level for achieving the desired data rate, but also a method to control the interference to the neighbouring cells

HARQ: it allows recovering from residual errors by link adaptation

Alcatel-Lucent unique scheduler design Alpha fair dynamic scheduler

Configurable (alpha) by the Operators on a per cell basisProvides fair resource allocation to users in different RF conditions

Best QoS in networks with mixed traffic (eg voice/video and HTTP/FTP traffic)

+30% to 40% performance

Increase max VoIP users per cell

Best trade off between fairness & cell throughput

60% more users reaching required QoS

+30% to 60% cell throughput

2x to 40x cell edge throughput

Advantages over simpler schedulers*

Frequency Selectivity (UL & DL)

Multiple Users per TTI (UL & DL)

Proportional Fair (UL & DL)

Full QoS (QCI) support

UL Fractional Power Control

ALUAlpha fair scheduler abilities

*Simple schedulers (fixed target SINR) providing good performance under isolated cell / single user drive test scenarios

Comparison of quantity of sites required for coverage in DU

LTE Spectrum Recommendation

Smaller cells at AWS/2.6GHz best suited for hot spots

700MHz can be used as umbrella cells

700MHz can be used to provide good indoor coverage

700MHz can be used for rural coverage

Hot spots

700MHz provides very good coverage but is capacity/interference limited (1500 subscribers for BW=10MHz)

Reommendation is a combination of both AWS/2.6GHz ideal for hot spot & 700Hz for umbrella cells, indoor and rural coverage
