Why LTE?
Ensuring Long Term Competitiveness of UMTS
l LTE is the next UMTS evolution step after HSPA and HSPA+.
l LTE is also referred to as

EUTRA(N) = Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (Network).
l Main targets of LTE:
l Peak data rates of 100 Mbps (downlink) and 50 Mbps (uplink)

l Scaleable bandwidths up to 20 MHz
l Reduced latency
l Cost efficiency
l Operation in paired (FDD) and unpaired (TDD) spectrum

channel impact:
I.: Receiver cancels impact of channel

II.: Precoding by using codebook. Transmitter assists receiver in
cancellation of channel impact
III.: Precoding at transmitter side to cancel channel impact

Imagine we do the following:
1.) Precoding at the transmitter:
Instead of transmitting s, the transmitter sends s = V*s
2.) Signal processing at the receiver
Multiply the received signal with UH, r = r*UH

So after signal processing the whole signal can be expressed as:
r =UH*(UΣVHVs+n)=UHU Σ VHVs+UHn = Σs+UHn

Idea 1: Rx sends feedback about full H to Tx.
-> but too complex,
-> big overhead
-> sensitive to noise and quantization effects

Idea 2: Tx does not need to know full H, only unitary matrix V
-> define a set of unitary matrices (codebook) and find one matrix in the codebook that
maximizes the capacity for the current channel H
-> these unitary matrices from the codebook approximate the singular vector structure
of the channel
=> Limited feedback is almost as good as ideal channel knowledge feedback

 LTE provides QPSK,16QAM, and 64QAM as uplink modulation schemes
 DFT is first applied to block of NTX 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
 Can also be seen as “pre-coded OFDM” or “DFT-spread OFDM”

How does the SC-FDMA signal look like?

What are antenna ports?
l

3GPP TS 36.211(Downlink)
“An antenna port is defined such that the channel over which a symbol on the
antenna port is conveyed can be inferred from the channel over which another
symbol on the same antenna port is conveyed.”

l

What does that mean?

l

The UE shall demodulate a received signal – which is transmitted over a
certain antenna port – based on the channel estimation performed on the
reference signals belonging to this (same) antenna port.

November 2012 | LTE Introduction |

88
What are antenna ports?
l

Consequences of the definition
l

There is one sort of reference signal per antenna port
l Whenever a new sort of reference signal is introduced by 3GPP (e.g. PRS),
a new antenna port needs to be defined (e.g. Antenna Port 6)

l

3GPP defines the following antenna port / reference signal
combinations for downlink transmission:

Positioning Reference Signals (PRS)

The way the "logical" antenna ports are mapped to the "physical" TX antennas lies
completely in the responsibility of the base station. There's no need for the base station
to tell the UE.

The network assists the UE GNSS receiver to
improve the performance in several aspects:
– Reduce UE GNSS start-up and acquisition times
– Increase UE GNSS sensitivity
– Allow UE to consume less handset power

l

UE Assisted
– UE transmits GNSS measurement results to E-SMLC where the position calculation
takes place

l

UE Based
– UE performs GNSS measurements and position calculation, suppported by data …
– … assisting the measurements, e.g. with reference time, visible satellite list etc.

Low bandwidth (1-2 MHz)

High bandwidth (up to 20 MHz for LTE)

Very weak received signals

Comparatively strong received signals

Similar received power levels from all satellites

One strong signal from the serving BS,
strong interference situation

Long synchronization sequences

Short synchronization sequences

Signal a-priori known due to low data rates

Complete signal not a-priori known to
support high data rates, only certain pilots

Very accurate synchronization of the satellites
by atomic clocks

Synchronization of the BSs not a-priori guaranteed

Line of sight (LOS) access as normal case

UE position is estimated with the knowledge of the geographical
coordinates of its serving eNB.
Position accuracy = One whole cell .

November 2012 | LTE Introduction |

121
Enhanced-Cell ID (E-CID)
l

UE positioning compared to CID is specified more
accurately using additional UE and/or E UTRAN radio
measurements:
l

E-CID with distance from serving eNB  position accuracy: a circle.
– Distance calculated by measuring RSRP / TOA / TADV (RTT).

l

E-CID with distances from 3 eNB-s  position accuracy: a point.
– Distance calculated by measuring RSRP / TOA / TADV (RTT).

l

E-CID with Angels of Arrival  position accuracy: a point.
– AOA are measured for at least 2, better 3 eNB‘s.

November 2012 | LTE Introduction |

122

RSRP – Reference Signal Received Power
TOA – Time of Arrival
TADV – Timing Advance
RTT – Round Trip Time
Angle of Arrival (AOA)
l

AoA = Estimated angle of a UE with respect to a reference

l

eNB uses antenna array to estimate
direction i.e. Angle of Arrival (AOA).
The larger the array, the more
accurate is the estimated AOA.
eNB reports AOA to LS.
Advantage: No synchronization
between eNB‘s.
Drawback: costly antenna arrays.

November 2012 | LTE Introduction |

OTDOA – Observed Time Difference of
Arrival
l

UE position is estimated based on measuring TDOA of
Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) embedded into overall
DL signal received from different eNB’s.
l

l

Each TDOA measurement describes a hyperbola (line of constant
difference 2a), the two focus points of which (F1, F2) are the two
measured eNB-s (PRS sources), and along which the UE may be
located.
UE’s position = intersection of hyperbolas for at least 3 pairs of
eNB’s.

Uplink (UTDOA)
l
l

UTDOA = Uplink Time Difference of Arrival
UE positioning estimated based on:
– measuring TDOA of UL (SRS) signals received in different eNB-s
– each TDOA measurement describes a hyperbola (line of constant difference 2a),
the 2 focus points of which (F1, F2) are the two receiving eNB-s (SRS
receiptors), and along which the UE may be located.
– UE’s position = intersection of hyperbolas for at least three pairs of eNB-s
(= 3 eNB-s)

– knowledge of the geographical coordinates of the measured eNode Bs

Method as such not specified for LTE  Similarity to 3G assumed

Up to 8x8 MIMO in downlink.
Up to 4x4 MIMO in uplink.

In addition the downlink reference signal structure has been
enhanced compared with LTE Release 8 by:
l

Demodulation Reference signals (DM-RS) targeting PDSCH demodulation.
– UE specific, i.e. an extension to multiple layers of the concept of Release 8 UEspecific reference signals used for beamforming.

l

Reference signals targeting channel state information (CSI-RS) estimation
for CQI/PMI/RI/etc reporting when needed.
– Cell specific, sparse in the frequency and time domain and punctured into the data
region of normal subframes.

Carrier Leakage
Carrier leakage (the I/Q origin offset) is a form of interference caused by crosstalk or DC offset.
It expresses itself as an un-modulated sine wave with the carrier frequency.
I/Q origin offset interferes with the center sub carriers of the UE under test.
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in
terms of carrier leakage.

EVM Equalizer Spectrum Flatness
The EVM equalizer spectrum flatness is defined as the variation in dB of the equalizer coefficients
generated by the EVM measurement process.
The EVM equalizer spectrum flatness requirement does not limit the correction applied to the signal
in the EVM measurement process but for the EVM result to be valid,
the equalizer correction that was applied must meet the
EVM equalizer spectral flatness minimum requirements.
