Unlike UMTS TDD there is a high commonality between LTE TDD & LTE FDD Slot length (0.5 ms) and subframe length (1 ms) is the same as LTE FDD with the same numerology (OFDM symbol times, CP length, FFT sizes, sample rates, etc.) UL/ DL switching points designed to allow coexistence with UMTS-TDD (TD-CDMA, TD-SCDMA)
Slide 6
Note, that the eNodeB can still transmit and receive at the same time to different UEs; half-duplex is enforced by the eNodeB scheduler Reasons for HD-FDD Handsets are cheaper, as no duplexer is required More commonality between TDD and HD-FDD than compared to full duplex FDD Certain FDD spectrum allocations have small duplex space; HD-FDD leads to duplex desense in UE

Within an OFDM symbol, the data symbols modulated onto the subcarriers are only orthogonal if there is an integer number of sinusoidal cycles within the receiver window Filling the guard time with a cyclic prefix (CP) ensures orthogonality of subcarriers even in the presence of multipath elimination of same cell interference

In CDMA each symbol is spread over a large bandwidth, hence it will experience both good and bad parts of the channel response in frequency domain In OFDM each symbol is carried by a subcarrier over a narrow part of the band can avoid send symbols where channel frequency response is poor based on frequency selective channel knowledge frequency selective scheduling gain in OFDM systems

Slide 14
LTE is designed to operate in delay spreads up to ~5s and for speeds up to 350km/h (1.2ms coherence time @ 2.6GHz). As such, the following was decided: CP length = 4.7 s OFDM symbol time = 66.6 s(= 1/20 the worst case coherence time)
f = 15 kHz ~4.7 s ~66.7 s

Slide 15
With Scalable OFDM, the subcarrier spacing stays fixed at 15 kHz regardless of the operating bandwidth
1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz Symbol time is fixed to 66.6 s
5 MHz bandwidth
Influence of delay spread, Doppler due to user mobility, timing accuracy, etc. remain the same as the system bandwidth is changed robust design

Downlink Operation
UE reports CQI (channel quality indicator), PMI (precoding matrix indicator), and RI (rank indicator) in PUCCH or PUSCH Scheduler at eNB dynamically allocates DL resources to UE eNB sends user data in PDSCH
UE reads PCFICH every subframe and determines the number of OFDM symbols occupied by PDCCH UE reads PDCCH to determine the assigned DL resources (PRB and MCS) for a specific Tx mode
UE attempts to decode the received packet and sends ACK/NACK using PUCCH or PUSCH

CQI/PMI/RI Reporting
CQI/PMI/RI reporting is either on PUSCH or PUCCH, periodic or aperiodic Aperiodic CQI/PMI/RI reporting is defined by the following characteristics:
The report is scheduled by the eNB via the PDCCH Transmitted together with uplink data on PUSCH From the frequency span perspective these reports can be:
Frequency selective: UE Selected Subband CQI and Higher Layer Configured Subband CQI Frequency non-selective: Wideband CQI reports
When a CQI report is transmitted together with Uplink data on PUSCH, it is multiplexed with the transport block by L1
The CQI report is not part of the uplink transport block
