 MIMO Radio Channel Measurements

Multiple antennas at both the base station and terminal can significantly
increase data rates with sufficient multi path
Enhanced Multi-Antenna Transmission Techniques
In LTE-A, the MIMO scheme has to be further improved
in the area of spectrum efficiency, average cell through
put and cell edge performances
In LTE-A the antenna configurations of 8x8 in DL and
4x4 in UL are planned

7
Enhanced Techniques to Extend Coverage Area
Remote Radio Requirements (RREs) using optical
fiber should be used in LTE-A as effective
technique to extend cell coverage

8
 LTE Basic Concepts
LTE employs Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiple Access (OFDMA) for downlink data
transmission and Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA)
for uplink transmission
SC-FDMA is a new single carrier multiple access
technique which has similar structure and
performance to OFDMA
A salient advantage of SC-FDMA over OFDM is the
low Peak to Average Power (PAP) ratio : Increasing
battery life

11
 Generic Frame Structure
Allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) is
handled by a scheduling function at the 3GPP base
station: Evolved Node B (eNodeB)

Frame 0 and frame 5 (always downlink)

Asymmetric Transmission Bandwidth
Symmetric transmission
Voice transmission: UE to UE
Asymmetric transmission
Streaming video : the server to the UE (the downlink)

16
 Layered OFDMA
The bandwidth of basic frequency block is, 15 - 20
MHz
Layered OFDMA comprises layered transmission
bandwidth assignment (bandwidth is assigned to
match the required data rate), a layered control
signaling structure, and support for layered
environments for both the downlink and uplink.

17
Support of Larger Bandwidth in LTE-Advanced
Peak data rates up to 1Gbps are expected from
bandwidths of 100MHz. OFDM adds additional
sub-carrier to increase bandwidth
