What will LTE-A Deliver?
Carrier Aggregation
Aggregate bandwidth up to 100MHz
Downlink transmissi on scheme
Improvements to LTE by using 8x8 MIMO
Data rates of 100Mb/s with high mobility and 1Gb/s
with low mobility
Uplink transmission scheme
Improvements to LTE by using 4x4 MIMO
Data rates up to 500Mb/s
Relay Functionality
Improving cell edge coverage
More efficient coverage in rural areas
19
Carrier Aggregation (CA)
Support contiguous/non- contiguous CA
Current Status
Each CC is a backward compatible CC (Rel-8/9)
Support aggregation of up to 5 DL CCs and 5 UL CCs
Will likely be limited to the use of maximum 2 CCs in Rel-10
With regards to FDD UL and TDD, intra-bandaggregation
should be prioritised in Rel-10
20
Example: Contiguous CCs
Example: Non-contiguous CCs
Advanced MIMO Techniques in DL
Extension up to 8-stream transmission
Increased from 4 streams in Rel-8/9
Satisfy peak SE requirement (i.e., 30 bps/Hz)
Support for enhanced MU-MIMO
Not more than 4 UEs are co-scheduled
Not more than 2 layers per UE
21
Advanced MIMO Techniques in UL
Introduction of SU-MIMO up to 4-stream
transmission
Rel. 8 LTE does not support SU-MIMO
Satisfy peak SE requirement (i.e., 15 bps/Hz)
Introduction of UL transmit diversity for
PUCCH
Improved signaling robustness and cell-edge
performance
22
Relaying
Type 1 Relay
Wireless backhaul via LTE technology (inband or
outband)
Relay Node has their own PCI
UE receives/transmits control signals from/to RN
From a Rel-8 UE, a Relay Node is seen as Rel-8 eNB
23
Supports deployment of cells in areas where wired backhaul is not
available or very expensive
Enhanced ICIC
Enhanced ICIC for non-CA based deployments of
heterogeneous networks for LTE
WI proposed by CMCC in RAN#47 (Mar. 2010)
Identify and evaluate non-CA based ICIC strategies of
heterogeneous network deployments
HetNet use cases are priorities as follows:
Indoor HeNB clusters
Outdoor Hotzone cells
Indoor Hotzone scenarios

Peak Spectrum Efficiency
Rel-8 LTE vs. IMT-A requirements
