•LTE Frequency Bands

4. Motivation: LTE background story
the early days
Work on LTE was initiated as a
3GPP release 7 study item “Evolved
UTRA and UTRAN” in December
2004:
“With enhancements such as HSDPA
and Enhanced Uplink, the 3GPP
radio-access technology will be
highly competitive for several years.
However, to ensure competitiveness
in an even longer time frame, i.e. for
the next 10 years and beyond, a long
term evolution of the 3GPP radio-
access technology needs to be
considered.”
• Basic drivers for LTE have been:
– Reduced latency
– Higher user data rates
– Improved system capacity and
coverage
– Cost-reduction.

5. Major requirements for LTE
identified during study item phase in 3GPP
• Higher peak data rates: 100 Mbps (downlink) and 50 Mbps (uplink)
• Improved spectrum efficiency: 2-4 times better compared to 3GPP release
6
• Improved latency:
– Radio access network latency (user plane UE – RNC - UE) below 10 ms
– Significantly reduced control plane latency
• Support of scalable bandwidth: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 MHz
• Support of paired and unpaired spectrum (FDD and TDD mode)
• Support for interworking with legacy networks
• Cost-efficiency:
– Reduced CApital and OPerational EXpenditures (CAPEX, OPEX) including
backhaul
– Cost-effective migration from legacy networks
• A detailed summary of requirements has been captured in 3GPP TR
25.913 „Requirements for Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved UTRAN (E-
UTRAN)”.

6. Evolution of UMTS FDD and TDD
driven by data rate and latency requirements
Note:
•High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA, also known as High-Speed Data Packet Access)
•High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)
•High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)

– CS and PS
– R99 Radio Bearers
– Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
– Location Services
• Functional Freeze: March 2000
– Basic 3.84 Mcps W-CDMA (FDD & TDD)
• Enhancements to GSM data (EDGE).
• Provides support for GSM/EDGE/GPRS/WCDMA radio-access networks.

• Functional Freeze: March 2001
– Enhancements 1.28 Mcps TDD (aka TD-SCDMA).
– Multimedia messaging support.
– First steps toward using IP transport in the core
network.
Megachips per second (Mcps) is a measure of the speed with which encoding elements,
called chips (not to be confused with microchips), are generated in Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) signals. This speed is also known as the chipping rate. A speed of 1 Mcps is
equivalent to 1,000,000, or 106, chips per second.
Typical chipping rates in third-generation (3G) wireless systems are on the order of several
million chips per second. For example, in Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA)
systems, the standard rate is 3.84 Mcps.

10. Release 5: Key Features
• Functional Freeze: June 2002
– HSDPA
– IMS: First phase of Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
– Adaptive Multi-Rate - Wideband (AMR-WB) Speech
– Full ability to use IP-based transport instead of just Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) in the core network.
Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) is a patented speech coding standard developed
based on Adaptive Multi-Rate encoding, using similar methodology as Algebraic Code Excited
Linear Prediction (ACELP). AMR-WB provides improved speech quality due to a wider speech
bandwidth of 50–7000 Hz compared to narrowband speech coders which in general are
optimized for POTS wireline quality of 300–3400 Hz. AMR-WB was developed by Nokia and
VoiceAge and it was first specified by 3GPP.
AMR-WB is codified as G.722.2, an ITU-T standard speech codec, formally known as Wideband
coding of speech at around 16 kbit/s using Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB). G.722.2
AMR-WB is the same codec as the 3GPP AMR-WB. The corresponding 3GPP specifications are TS
26.190 for the speech codec and TS 26.194 for the Voice Activity Detector.

33. LTE Key Parameters

34. Session 2: OFDMA
•OFDM and OFDMA
•LTE Downlink
•OFDMA time-frequency multiplexing
•LTE Spectrum Flexibility
•LTE Frame Structure type 1 (FDD)
•LTE Frame Structure type 2(TDD)

35. OFDM
• Single Carrier Transmission (e.g. WCDMA)
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

36. OFDM Concept: Mengapa OFDM
• Sinyal OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) dapat mendukung kondisi NLOS (Non
Line of Sight) dengan mempertahankan efisiensi
spektral yang tinggi dan memaksimalkan spektrum
yang tersedia.
• Mendukung lingkungan propagasi multi-path.
• Scalable bandwidth: menyediakan fleksibilitas dan
potensial mengurangi CAPEX (capital expense).
36

37. OFDM Concept: NLOS Performance
37

38. OFDM Concept: Mutipath Propagation
• Sinyal-sinyal multipath datang pada waktu yang berbeda dengan amplitudo dan pergeseran fasa yang
berbeda, yang menyebabkan pelemahan dan penguatan daya sinyal yang diterima.
• Propagasi multipath berpengaruh terhadap performansi link dan coverage.
• Selubung (envelop) sinyal Rx berfluktuasi secara acak.
38

39. OFDM Concept: FFT
• Multi-carrier modulation/multiplexing technique
• Available bandwidth is divided into several subchannels
• Data is serial-to-parallel converted
• Symbols are transmitted on different subcarriers
39

40. OFDM Concept: IFFT
Basic ideas valid for various multicarrier techniques:
• OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
• OFDMA: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
40

41. OFDM Concept: Single-Carrier Vs. OFDM
Single-Carrier Mode: OFDM Mode:
• Serial Symbol Stream Used to Modulate a • Each Symbol Used to Modulate a Separate
Single Wideband Carrier Sub-Carrier
• Serial Datastream Converted to Symbols
(Each Symbol Can Represented 1 or More
Data Bits) 41

42. OFDM Concept: Single-Carrier Vs. OFDM
Single-Carrier Mode OFDM Mode
• Dotted Area Represents Transmitted Spectrum
• Solid Area Represents Receiver Input
• OFDM mengatasi delay spread, multipath dan ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) secara efisien sehingga
dapat meningkatkan throughput data rate yang lebih tinggi.
• Memudahkan ekualisasi kanal terhadap sub-carrier OFDM individual, dibandingkan terhadap sinyal
single-carrier yang memerlukan teknik ekualisasi adaptif lebih kompleks. 42

43. OFDM Concept: Motivation for Multi-carrier Approaches
• Multi-carrier transmission offers various advantages over
traditional single carrier approaches:
– Highly scalable
– Simplified equalizer design in the frequency domain, also in cases of
large delay spread
– High spectrum density
– Simplified the usage of MIMO
– Good granularity to control user data rates
– Robustness against timing errors
• Weakness of multi-carrier systems:
– Increased peak to average power ratio (PAPR)
– Impairments due to impulsive noise
– Impairments due to frequency errors
43

44. OFDM Concept: Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR)
• PAPR merupakan ukuran dari fluktuasi tepat sebelum amplifier.
• PAPR sinyal hasil dari mapping PSK base band sebesar 0 dB karena semua symbol mempunyai daya yang
sama.
• Tetapi setelah dilakukan proses IDFT/IFFT, hasil superposisi dari dua atau lebih subcarrier dapat
menghasilkan variasi daya dengan nilai peak yang besar.
• Hal ini disebabkan oleh modulasi masing-masing subcarrier dengan frekuensi yang berbeda sehingga
apabila beberapa subcarrier mempunyai fasa yang koheren, akan muncul amplituda dengan level yang
jauh lebih besar dari daya sinyalnya. 44

45. OFDM Concept: Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR)
• Nilai PAPR yang besar pada OFDM membutuhkan amplifier dengan dynamic range yang lebar untuk
mengakomodasi amplitudo sinyal.
• Jika hal ini tidak terpenuhi maka akan terjadi distorsi linear yang menyebabkan subcarrier menjadi tidak
lagi ortogonal dan pada akhirnya menurunkan performansi OFDM.
45

46. Tipe Sub-Carrier OFDM
Data Sub-carriers
• Membawa simbol BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM
Pilot Sub-carriers
• Untuk memudahkan estimasi kanal dan demodulasi koheren pada receiver.
Null Subcarrier
• Guard Sub-carriers
• DC Sub-carrier 46

47. Guard Interval (Cyclic Prefix)
• Untuk mengatasi multipath delay spread
47
• Guard Interval (cyclic prefix) : 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32

48. OFDM Transceiver
48

49. OFDM & OFDMA
OFDM OFDMA
• Semua subcarrier dialokasikan untuk satu • Subcarrier dialokasikan secara fleksibel
user untuk banyak user tergantung pada kondisi
• Misal : 802.16-2004 radio.
• Misal : 802.16e-2005 dan 802.16m
49

50. OFDM Parameters used in WiMAX
50

51. Difference between OFDM and OFDMA
• OFDM allocates users in time • OFDMA allocates users in time
domain only and frequency domain

52. OFDMA time-frequency multiplexing

53. LTE Downlink Physical Layer Design: Physical Resource
The physical resource can be seen as
a time-frequency grid
• LTE uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) as its radio technology in downlink
• In the uplink LTE uses a pre=coded version of OFDM, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division
Multiple Access) to reduced power consumption
53

54. LTE Downlink Resource Grid
• Suatu RB (resource block) terdiri dari 12 subcarrier pada suatu
durasi slot 0.5 ms.
• Satu subcarrier mempunyai BW 15 kHz, sehingga menjadi 180
kHz per RB.

57. LTE – Spectrum Flexibility
• LTE physical layer supports any bandwidth from 1.4 MHz to 20
MHz in steps of 180 kHz (resource block).
• Current LTE specification supports a subset of 6 different
system bandwidths.
• All UEs must support the maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz.

58. E-UTRA channel bandwidth

59. Case Study
LTE Signal Spectrum (20 MHz case)
• The LTE standard uses an over-sized LTE. The actual used bandwidth is controlled by the number of used
subcarriers. 15 kHz subcarrier spacing is the constant factor!
• 18 MHz out of 20 MHz is used for data, 1 MHz on each side is used as guard band.
• LTE used spectrum radio = 90%
• WiMAX used spectrum radio = 82% 59

60. TDD & FDD
• Time Division Duplex (TDD)
• Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)
• Durasi Frame : 2.5 - 20ms 60

61. Generic LTE Frame Structure type 1 (FDD)
Tf = 307200 x Ts = 10 ms
Tslot = 15360 x Ts = 0.5 ms
• Untuk struktur generik, frame radio 10 ms dibagi dalam 20 slot yang sama berukuran 0.5 ms.
• Suatu sub-frame terdiri dari 2 slot berturut-turut, sehingga satu frame radio berisi 10 sub-frame.
• Ts menunjukkan unit waktu dasar yang sesuai dengan 30.72 MHz.
• Struktur frame tipe-1 dapat digunakan untuk transmisi FDD dan TDD.
61

62. LTE Frame Structure type 1 (FDD)
• 2 slots form one subframe = 1 ms
• For FDD, in each 10 ms interval, all 10 subframes are available for downlink transmission and uplink transmissions.
• For TDD, a subframe is either located to downlink or uplink transmission. The 0th and 5th subframe in a radio frame is

73. Session 3: SC-FDMA
•Introduction SC-FDMA and UL frame structure
•How to generate SC-FDMA
•How does SC-FDMA signal look like
•SC-FDMA Signal Generation
•SC-FDMA PAPR
•SC-FDMA Parameterization

74. LTE Uplink Transmission Scheme: SC-FDMA
• Pemilihan OFDMA dianggap optimum untuk memenuhi persyaratan LTE
pada arah downlink, tetapi OFDMA memiliki properti yang kurang
menguntungkan pada arah Uplink.
• Hal tsb terutama disebabkan oleh lemahnya peak-to-average power ratio
(PAPR) dari sinyal OFDMA, yang mengakibatkan buruknya coverage uplink.
• Oleh karena itu, skema transmisi Uplink LTE untuk mode FDD maupun TDD
didasarkan pada SC-FDMA, yang mempunyai properti PAPR lebih baik.
• Pemrosesan sinyal SC-FDMA memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan
pemrosesan sinyal OFDMA, sehingga parameter-parameter DL dan UL
dapat diharmonisasi.
• Untuk membangkitkan sinyal SC-FDMA, E-UTRA telah memilih DFT-
spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM).
74

75. OFDMA and SC-FDMA
• The symbol mapping
in OFDM happens in
the frequency
domain.
• In SC-FDMA, the
symbol mapping is
done in the time
domain.
• Appropriate
subscriber mapping
in the frequency
domain allows to
control the PAPR.
• SC-FDMA enable

like OFDMA

77

78. How to generate SC-FDMA?
• DFT “pre-coding” is performed on modulated data symbols to
transform them into frequency domain,
• Sub-carrier mapping allows flexible allocation of signal to available
sub-carriers,
• IFFT and cyclic prefix (CP) insertion as in OFDM,
• Each subcarrier carries a portion of superposed DFT spread data
symbols, therefore SC-FDMA is also referred to as DFT-spread-
OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM).

79. How does a SC-FDMA signal look like?
• Similar to OFDM signal, but…
– …in OFDMA, each sub-carrier only carries information
related to one specific symbol,
– …in SC-FDMA, each sub-carrier contains information of ALL
transmitted symbols.

82. SC-FDMA parameterization (FDD and TDD)
LTE FDD
•Same as in downlink
TD-LTE
•Usage of UL depends on the selected UL-DL configuration (1 to 8), each
configuration offers a different number of subframes (1ms) for uplink
transmission,
•Parameterization for those subframes, means number of SC-FDMA symbols
same as for FDD and depending on CP,

83. Improved UL Performance
SC-FDMA compared to ordinary OFDM
Single-carrier transmission in uplink enables low PAPR that gives more 4 dB better link
budget and reduced power consumption compared to OFDM

85. Physical Channel Processing
• Scrambling: Scramble binary information
• Modulation Mapper: Maps groups of 2, 4, or 6 bits onto QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM symbol constellation points
• Transform Precoder: Slices the input data vector into a set of symbol vectors and perform DFT transformation.
• Resource Element Mapper: Maps the complex constellation points into the allocated virtual resource blocks
and performs translation into physical resource blocks.
• SC-FDMA Signal Generation: Performs the IFFT processing to generate final time domain for transmission.

UE E-UTRAN EPC
• UE, E-UTRAN and EPC together represent the Internet Protocol (IP) Connectivity Layer.
• This part of the system is also called the Evolved Packet System (EPS).
• The main function of this layer is to provide IP based connectivity, and it is highly optimized for that purpose only.
• All services will be offered on top of IP, and circuit switched nodes and interfaces seen in earlier 3GPP
architectures are not present in E-UTRAN and EPC at all.
• IP technologies are also dominant in the transport, where everything is designed to be operated on top of IP
transport.

91. System architecture for E-UTRAN only network

92. Services
• The IP Multimedia Sub-System
(IMS) is a good example of service
machinery that can be used in the
Services Connectivity Layer to
provide services on top of the IP
connectivity provided by the
lower layers.
• For example, to support the voice
service, IMS can provide Voice
over IP (VoIP) and
interconnectivity to legacy circuit
switched networks PSTN and
ISDN through Media Gateways it
controls.

93. EPC
• Functionally the EPC is equivalent to the packet
switched domain of the existing 3GPP networks.
• Significant changes in the arrangement of functions
and most nodes and the architecture in this part
should be considered to be completely new.
• SAE GW represents the combination of the two
gateways, Serving Gateway (S-GW) and Packet Data
Network Gateway (P-GW) defined for the UP
handling in EPC.
• Implementing them together as the SAE GW
represents one possible deployment scenario, but
the standards define the interface between them,
and all operations have also been specified for
when they are separate.
• The Basic System Architecture Configuration and its
functionality are documented in 3GPP TS 23.401.
• We will learn the operation when the S5/S8

is needed in this layer.

94. E-UTRAN
• The development in E-UTRAN is
concentrated on one node, the
evolved Node B (eNodeB).
• All radio functionality is collapsed
there, i.e. the eNodeB is the
termination point for all radio
related protocols.
• As a network, E-UTRAN is simply
a mesh of eNodeBs connected to
neighbouring eNodeBs with the
X2 interface.

95. User Equipment
• UE is the device that the end user uses for
communication.
• Typically it is a hand held device such as a smart
phone or a data card such as those used
currently in 2G and 3G, or it could be
embedded, e.g. to a laptop.
• UE also contains the Universal Subscriber
Identity Module (USIM) that is a separate
module from the rest of the UE, which is often
called the Terminal Equipment (TE).
• USIM is an application placed into a removable
smart card called the Universal Integrated
Circuit Card (UICC).
• USIM is used to identify and authenticate the

104. Control plane protocol stack in EPS
The topmost layer in the CP is the Non-Access Stratum (NAS), which consists of two
separate protocols that are carried on direct signaling transport between the UE
and the MME.
The content of the NAS layer protocols is not visible to the eNodeB, and the eNodeB is
not involved in these transactions by any other means, besides transporting the
messages, and providing some additional transport layer indications along with the
messages in some cases.

105. NAS layer protocols
The NAS layer protocols are:
• EPS Mobility Management (EMM): The EMM protocol is responsible for handling
the UE mobility within the system. It includes functions for attaching to and
detaching from the network, and performing location updating in between. This is
called Tracking Area Updating (TAU), and it happens in idle mode. Note that the
handovers in connected mode are handled by the lower layer protocols, but the
EMM layer does include functions for re-activating the UE from idle mode. The UE
initiated case is called Service Request, while Paging represents the network
initiated case. Authentication and protecting the UE identity, i.e. allocating the
temporary identity GUTI to the UE are also part of the EMM layer, as well as the
control of NAS layer security functions, encryption and integrity protection.
• EPS Session Management (ESM): This protocol may be used to handle the bearer
management between the UE and MME, and it is used in addition for E-UTRAN
bearer management procedures. Note that the intention is not to use the ESM
procedures if the bearer contexts are already available in the network and E-
UTRAN procedures can be run immediately. This would be the case, for example,
when the UE has already signaled with an operator affiliated. Application Function
in the network, and the relevant information has been made available through the
PCRF.

106. User plane protocol stack in EPS
The UP includes the layers below the end user IP, i.e. these protocols form the Layer 2
used for carrying the end user IP packets.
The protocol structure is very similar to the CP.
This highlights the fact that the whole system is designed for generic packet data
transport, and both CP signaling and UP data are ultimately packet data. Only the
volumes are different.
