LTE Physical Layer Overview
(…now on to the Really Cool Stuff!)

 • LTE air interface consists of two main components – Signals
   and Channels
 • Physical Signals
      • Generated in Layer 1
         – Used for System Synchronization, Cell Identification and Radio
           Channel Estimation
 • Physical Channels
      • These Carry Data from higher layers including Control, Scheduling
        and User Payload
 • The following is a simplified high-level description of the
   essential Signals and Channels…

DM-RS Signal Modulation (UE)

• The unity circle produced by the DM-RS may look random but is the result
  of phase modulating each successive subcarrier to create a Constant
  Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) Sequence
• There are 30 different sequences defined providing orthogonality between
  users (similar to Walsh Codes in CDMA)
• The sequence follows a Zadoff-Chu progression
                                                         qm ( m 1)
                                                     j      RS
                                                          N ZC                     RS
                                     xq m        e                   , 0    m    N ZC 1
           RS
  where N ZC is the first prime number less than the required number of
  subcarriers, and m is the subcarrier number of the qth sequence
• For allocations less than 3 Resource Blocks (36 subcarriers) it is not
  possible to use a Zadoff-Chu sequence so the RS are modulated with a
  simpler computer-generated QPSK sequence of length 12 or 24

 Unlike DL, UL DM-RS
Is confined only to User




      Note 1: When no PUCCH or PUSCH is scheduled in the uplink, the eNB can request transmission of the
              Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), which allows the eNB to estimate the uplink channel characteristics
      Note 2: PRACH and SRS not shown for clarity

What is Protocol?
       An agreed-upon set of rules governing the exchange of
      information.
       “An agreed-upon set of rules”: what, how, and when
      information is communicated must conform to some mutually
      acceptable set of conventions referred to as ‘the protocol’
       “Information” : Two types
         • “Control” -used to setup, maintain, and end the communication link
         • “Data” -the actual content that is intended to be exchanged packaged
           into “messages”
      The protocol defines and governs the exchange of
      messages

• The main services and functions of
  PDCP for the user plane include:
       • Header compression and
         decompression: ROHC
       • Transfer of user data: transmission of
         user data means that PDCP receives
         PDCP SDU from the NAS and forwards
         it to the RLC layer and vice versa
       • Ciphering;

• The main services and functions of
  PDCP for the control plane include:
       • Ciphering and Integrity Protection
       • Transfer of control plane data:
         transmission of control plane data
         means that PDCP receives PDCP
         SDUs from RRC and forwards it to the
         RLC layer and vice versa.

 • Concatenation, segmentation, re-segmentation of SDU’s to match transmission
   (Transport Block –TB) parameters set by MAC or radio condiction
 • Three service Mode:
        Transparent mode (TM)
        Unacknowledged Mode (UM)
        Acknowledge Mode (AM)



 • In sequence delivery of upper layer PDUs
 • Error Correction through ARQ (CRC check provided by the physical layer, that is,
   no CRC needed at RLC level)
 • Re-ordering of PDU’s received out of order
 • Duplicate detection and RLC SDU discard.
 In general, the data entity from/to a higher protocol layer is known as a Service Data
 Unit (SDU) and the corresponding entity to/from a lower protocol layer entity is denoted
 Protocol Data Unit (PDU).

RLC Segmentation and Concatenation

  • Multiple RLC SDU’s are segmented / concatenated into a single RLC
    PDU
  • MAC knows what physical resources are available and RLC provides
    RLC PDU’s to the size that MAC requests.
  • RLC PDU size varies dynamically.
  • RLC SDU’s can be control information, voice, data etc

LTE 3GPP - MAC Scheduling

 • MAC’s main function will be the distribution and management of
   common resources in both UL –SCH and DL-SCH to multiple UE’s
 • eNB MAC must take account of:
       • Overall traffic volume
       • UE QoS needs for each connection type.
       • Radio conditions through measurement by UE.
 • If a UE requests resources via a Scheduling request, the eNB will
   provide a scheduling grant identified by C-RNTI (unique identifier
   provided by RRC) Scheduling grant will also include
       • Physical Resource Blocks
       • Modulation Coding Scheme
 • A UE could have several streams of control or user data, identified by
   Logical Control ID (LCID)

     • MS measures neighbour cells
     • MS reports RxLev, RxQual to BSE/NodeB
     • When one of the neighbours looks more favourable, HO or
       Cell (re)-selection occurs

     • Limiting measurement criteria (TS 25.133)
     • Awareness of E-UTRAN of UE capabilities
     • Blind handover support (without measurement reports),

  • For Handovers, the network can provide some assistance
     • E-UTRAN – no cell specific assistance or frequency only
     • UTRAN – frequency list and scrambling codes
     • GERAN – frequency list. The UE can also “leave” the E-UTRA cell to
        read the target GERAN BCH to assess suitability prior to reselection.
     • UTRAN to E-UTRAN Measurements - UE performs E-UTRAN
        measurements in compressed mode
     • GERAN to E-UTRAN Measurements performed during idle frame, 36-
        300, 10.2.3.2 raises some concern over time constraints
     • General worry 36-300, 10.2.3.4 over measurement times for a multi-

• Simplified all IP network, with fewer elements and more autonomy for the eNB
    • No RNC, NO Soft HO
• Some specifications are almost complete, some are still FFS
    • UL power control (PHY process defined 36.213, upper layer procedures FFS)
    • RRC firming up, but still needs much work
• UMTS comparison:
    • Much more in MAC to reduce higher level processing
    • Higher layers similar to UMTS
    • Reduced complexity and channel count
    • Much simplified categorisation
    • Some areas more complex because of Diversity, eg CQI, Power control
• Designed to interwork with existing UMTS and CDMA2000 networks

  What is TD-LTE?




• LTE TDD (Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex) or also known as TD-LTE
  is part of the 3GPP specifications for the next generation cellular technology.
• In China, TD-LTE will be an evolution from TD-SCDMA and will provide for
  asymmetric needs of mobile data usage and allow use of unpaired spectrum.
• China Mobile will use the TDD version of LTE that will be compatible with TD-
  SCDMA and the rest of the world's LTE. LTE, or Long Term Evolution, is a fourth
  generation (4G) mobile broadband standard and is aimed to be the successor
  to the 3G technologies GSM.

     TD-LTE & LTE-FDD
         China Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone Trials
         Confirm LTE as a Next Generation Candidate
         Wednesday, 18 February 2009
         http://www.umts-forum.org/content/view/2708/109/



         China Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone have conducted joint
         laboratory trials of the Time Division Duplex (TDD) version of LTE (TD-LTE),
         showing that the technology is capable of operating effectively in
         unpaired as well as paired spectrum. The LTE testing alliance, which has
         also conducted field tests of LTE Frequency Division Duplex (LTE FDD),
         aims to develop a converged LTE FDD and TD-LTE system to enable an
         effective solution for both FDD (paired) and TDD (unpaired) spectrum.
