Note: Although 3GPP definition of RB

refers to 0.5ms, in some cases it is possible to found that RB refers to 12 subcarriers in frequency domain and 1ms in time domain. In particular, since the scheduler in the eNodeB works on TTI basis (1ms) RBs are considered to last 1ms in time domain. They can also be known as scheduling resource blocks

Reference Signals: OFDMA Channel Estimation

Channel estimation in LTE is based on reference signals (like CPICH functionality
in WCDMA) Reference signals position in time domain is fixed (0 and 4 for Type 1 Frame) whereas in frequency domain it depends on the Cell ID In case more than one antenna is used (e.g. MIMO) the Resource elements allocated to reference signals on one antenna are DTX on the other antennas Reference signals are modulated to identify the cell to which they belong.

Synchronization signals:
Transmitted during the 1st and 11th slots
within a radio frame

Occupy the central 62 Subcarriers (around

the DC subcarrier) to facilitate the cell search

5 Subcarriers above and 5 Subcarriers

below the synch. Signals are reserved and transmitted as DTx

Synchronisation Signal can indicate 504

(168 x 3) CellID different values and from those one can determine the location of cell specific reference symbols

Physical Layer Cell Identity defines a cell, but it is not necessarily unique in the network It consists of the two parts; Physical layer Cell Identity Group and Physical layer Identity Physical Layer Cell Identity = 3 x Physical layer Cell Identity Group + Physical layer Identity Decoded during synchronisation using primary and secondary sync signal PSS/SSS are used for: Initial cell search and neighbor cell search As a result of cell search the UE should acquire: PHY cell ID Strongest Signal DL center frequency 10ms and 5ms timing CP length Duplex mode (TDD/FDD)

UL Channels
The mapping of transport channels and UL control information (UCI) to physical channels is a task of the physical layer (PHY). Furthermore reference signals are provided by the physical layer which do not transfer any higher layer information. Logical channel mapping is provided by the MAC layer. Physical channel for data and signalling from higher layers: Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH. Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH. Physical channels with UL control - related signalling: Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH. and signals with no information of higher layers: Demodulation Reference Signals (DRS). Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

UE Channel state information (CSI) feedback types in LTE

The purpose of CSI feedback is to provide
the eNodeB information about DL channel state to help in the scheduling decision. Compared to the WCDMA/HSPA, the main new feature in the channel feedback is the frequency selectivity of the report CSI is measured by the UE and signaled to the eNodeB using PUCCH or PUSCH Channel state information in LTE can be divided into three categories: CQI - Channel Quality Indicator (2) UE CSI measurement RI - Rank Indicator PMI - Precoding Matrix Indicator In general the CSI reported by the UE is just a recommendation The eNodeB does not need to follow it The corresponding procedure for providing information about the UL channel state is called Channel Sounding and it is done using the Sounding Reference Symbols, SRS (not considered in this presentation)
