LTE - Agenda LTE Basic LTE Road Map LTE Architecture LTE Access Network LTE Channel

Aim of Long Term Evolution Increased Capacity Reduce Network Complexity Lower deployment and operating cost

What is LTE ? 3GPP Long Term Evolution, referred to as LTE and marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using new modulation techniques. In Nov. 2004, 3GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology Higher performance Backwards compatible Wide application 5

LTE Key factors LTE High Data Rates > 100 Mbps Downlink > 50 Mbps Uplink Channel Setup < 100 ms Why ? Mobile Broadband Tendency Customers need for more Spectral Efficience platform for Mobile data communicattion. ( Cost of Bits / Hz) Efficient Reducing OPEX & CAPEX Easy to deploy (self configuring/optimizing) TDD / FDD & Spectrum Flexibility New Services (IPTV & Games in Real Time) High Performance for Broadcast Services Wide Range of Terminals Increase Service Provisioning

Key LTE radio access features LTE radio access Downlink: OFDM Uplink: SC-FDMA Advanced antenna solutions Diversity Beam-forming Multi-layer transmission (MIMO) Spectrum flexibility Flexible bandwidth New and existing bands Duplex flexibility: FDD and TDD 20 MHz1.4 MHz TX SC-FDMA OFDMA

LTE Access Network LTE employs OFDMA in DL and SC-FDMA in UL LTE basic charactheristics: Flexibility bandwidth (from 1.4 Mhz to 20 MHZ). Orthogonally in uplink and downlink. Modulation : QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM. FDD (frequency division duplex), HD FDD ( half frequency division duplex & TDD (time Division Duplex are supported). Advanced Antenna Technology MIMO is used in downlink to allow high peak rates.

LTE Logical Channels ( type of Information) BCCH ( Broadcast Control Channel ) Used for transmission of system control information to all mobiles in the cell. Prior to access the network the mobile needs to read the information on BCCH to find out how the system is configured, for example the bandwidth. PCCH ( Paging Control Channel ) used for Paging of Mobiles whose location on cell level in not know to the network. DCCH ( Dedicated Control Channel ) Used for Transmission of control information to/from mobile. This channel is used for individual configuration of Terminals such as differents kinds of handover messages.

LTE Logical Channels ( type of Information) MCCH ( Multicast Control Channel ) used for transmission of control information required for reception of the MTCH. DTCH ( Dedicated Traffic Channel ) used for transmission of user data to/from a mobile terminal. This is the logical channel type used for transmission of all uplink and non-MBMS downlink user data. MTCH ( Multicast Traffic Channel ) used for downlink transmission of MBMS services.

LTE Transport Channels BCH ( Broadcast Channel ) Fixed Tranport Format Used for identification of cells & transmission of BCCH logical channel. RACH ( Random Access Channel ) Used for Access the Network from theTerminal. Limited control information and colission risk. PCH ( Paging Channel ) is used for transmission of paging information on the PCCH logical channel. The PCH supports discontinuous reception (DRX) to allow the mobile terminal to save battery power by sleeping and waking up to receive the PCH only at predefined time instants.

LTE Transport Channels DL-SCH (Downlink Shared Channel) Used for transmission of data in LTE DL SCH TTI is 1 ms Support Features as Dynamic Rate Adaptation & Channel Dependent Scheduling in time and frequency domain. MCH ( Multi Cast Channel) Used to support MBMS UL - SCH ( Uplink Shared Channel ) Used for transmission of data in LTE UL SCH TTI 1 ms Support Features as Dynamic Rate Adaptation & Channel Dependent Scheduling in time and frequency domain.
