Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Synchronization Signalp synchronization signals are used for time-frequency synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN during cell searchp synchronization signal comprise two parts

n Primary Synchronization Signal used for symbol timing frequency synchronization and part of the cell ID detectionn Secondary Synchronization Signal used for detection of radio frame timing CP length and cell group ID

Synchronization Signals Structure

Characteristicsp The bandwidth of the synchronization signal is 72

subcarrier locating in the central part of system bandwidth regardless of system bandwidth size

p Synchronization signals are transmitted only in the 1st and 11th slots of every 10ms frame

p The primary synchronization signal is located in the last symbol of the transmit slot The secondary synchronization signal is located in the 2nd last symbol of the transmit slot

CautionSynchronization signals are sometimes named as Synchronization Channel (P-SCH amp S-SCH) in some documents The meaning should be the same which represents the signals transmitted in the specified time-frequency locations Please donrsquot be confused with Share Channel (SCH)

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Introduction of LTE PHY- UL Physical SignalsReference Signal

p The uplink pilot signal used for synchronization between E-UTRAN and UE as well as uplink channel estimation

p Two types of UL reference signalsn DM RS (Demodulation Reference Signal)

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission n SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) without

associated with PUSCH and PUCCH transmission

Characteristicsp Each UE occupies parts of the system bandwidth since SC-

FDMA is applied in uplink DM RS only transmits in the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH and PUCCH

p The slot location of DM RS differs with associated PUSCH and PUCCH format

p Sounding RSrsquos bandwidth is larger than that allocated to UE in order to provide the reference to e-NodeB for channel estimation in the whole bandwidth

p Sounding RS is mapped to the last symbol of sub-frame The transmitted bandwidth and period can be configured SRS transmission scheduling of multi UE can achieve timefrequencycode diversity

CautionThe SRS mapping will be difference in many documents since the protocol are still under discussion when these document been compiled The mapping shown in this

slide is the result from the latest protocol version

Introduction of LTE PHY- Cell SearchBasic Principle of Cell Search

p Cell search is the procedure of UE synchronizes with E-UTRAN in time-freq domain and acquires the serving cell ID

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

(2)ID

(1)ID

cellID 3 NNN +=

(1)IDN(2)IDN

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

RA-RNTI Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

p Two steps in cell searchn Step 1 Symbol synchronization and acquirement of ID within

Cell Group by demodulating the Primary Synchronization Signal

n Step 2 Frame synchronization acquirement of CP length and Cell Group ID by demodulating the Secondary Synchronization Signal

Caution 170 Cell ID groups are defined in the earlier protocol version So totally 1703=510 Cell IDs exists which is mentioned in some early-written documents

Please be noticed this differences

About Cell IDp In LTE protocol the physical layer Cell ID comprises two parts Cell

Group ID and ID within Cell Group The latest version defines that there are 168 Cell Group IDs 3 IDs within each group So totally 1683=504 Cell IDs exist

p represents Cell Group ID value from 0 to 167represents ID within Cell Group value from 0 to 2

Initial Cell Searchp The initial cell search is carried on after the UE power on Usually

UE doesnrsquot know the network bandwidth and carrier frequency at the first time switch on

p UE repeats the basic cell search tries all the carrier frequency in the spectrum to demodulate the synchronization signals This procedure takes time but the time requirement are typically relatively relaxed Some methods can reduce time such as recording the former available network information as the prior search target

p Once finish the cell search which achieve synchronization of time-freq domain and acquirement of Cell ID UE demodulates the PBCH and acquires for system information such as bandwidth and Tx antenna number

p After the procedure above UE demodulates the PDCCH for its paging period that allocated by system UE wakes up from the IDLE state in the specified paging period demodulates PDCCH for monitoring paging If paging is detected PDSCH resources will be demodulated to receive paging message

Introduction of LTE PHY- Random AccessBasic Principle of Random Access

p Random access is the procedure of uplink synchronization between UE and E-UTRAN

p Prior to random access physical layer shall receive the following information from the higher layers

n Random access channel parameters PRACH configuration frequency position and preamble format etc

n Parameters for determining the preamble root sequences and their cyclic shifts in the sequence set for the cell in order to demodulate the random access preamble

p Two steps in physical layer random accessn UE transmission of random access preamble

n Random access response from E-UTRAN

Detail Procedure of Random Access

p Physical Layer procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers

p The higher layers request indicates a preamble index a target preamble received power a corresponding RA-RNTI and a PRACH resource

p UE determines the preamble transmission power is preamble target received power + Path Loss The transmission shall not higher than the maximum transmission power of UE Path Loss is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE

p A preamble sequence is selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index

p A single preamble is transmitted using the selected preamble sequence with calculated transmission power on the indicated PRACH resource

p UE Detection of a PDCCH with the indicated RA-RNTI is attempted during a window controlled by higher layers If detected the corresponding PDSCH transport block is passed to higher layers The higher layers parse the transport block and indicate the 20-bit grant

Introduction of LTE PHY- Power ControlBasic Principle of Power Control

p Downlink power control determines the EPRE (Energy per Resource Element)

p Uplink power control determines the energy per DFT-SOFDM (also called SC-FDMA) symbol

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Uplink Power Controlp Uplink power control consists of opened loop power and closed loop

power control

p A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 interface for integrated inter-cell power control possible to enhance the system performance through power control

p PUSCH PUCCH PRACH and Sounding RS can be controlled respectively by uplink power control Take PUSCH power control for example

p PUSCH power control is the slow power control to compensate the path loss and shadow fading and control inter-cell interference The control principle is shown in above equation The following factors impact PUSCH transmission power PPUSCH UE maximum transmission power PMAX UE allocated resource MPUSCH initial transmission power PO_PUSCH estimated path loss PL modulation coding factor TF and system adjustment factor f (not working during opened loop PC)

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

Uplink SC-FDMA for PAR resistance

Oslash The main difference between OFDMA and SC-FDMA is that the latter performs DFT before

performing IFFT for transmission which can be taken as a time-domain precoding operation

l Compared with single carrier system OFDM will cause high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) which will

caused problem for the amplifier design and increase the UE implementation cost accordingly

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

bull Downlink MIMOsect MIMO is supported in LTE downlink to achieve

spatial multiplexing including single user mode SU-MIMO and multi user mode MU-MIMO

sect In order to improve MIMO performance pre-coding is used in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO to controlreduce the interference among spatial multiplexing data flows

sect The spatial multiplexing data flows are scheduled to one single user In SU-MIMO to enhance the transmission rate and spectrum efficiency In MU-MIMO the data flows are scheduled to multi users and the resources are shared within users Multi user gain can be achieved by user scheduling in the spatial domain

bull Uplink MIMOsect Due to UE cost and power consumption it is difficult to

implement the UL multi transmission and relative power supply Virtual-MIMO in which multi single antenna UEs are associated to transmit in the MIMO mode Virtual-MIMO is still under study

sect Scheduler assigns the same resource to multi users Each user transmits data by single antenna System separates the data by the specific MIMO demodulation scheme

sect MIMO gain and power gain (higher Tx power in the same time-freq resource) can be achieved by Virtual-MIMO Interference of the multi user data can be controlled by the scheduler which also bring multi user gain

ICIC(Inter-Cell Interference Coordination)p ICIC is one solution for the cell interference control is essentially a schedule strategy In LTE some

coordination schemes like SFR (Soft Frequency Reuse) and FFR (Fractional Frequency Reuse) can control the interference in cell edges to enhance the frequency reuse factor and performance in the cell edges

SFR Solutionp SFR is one effective solution of inter-cell interference control The system bandwidth is separated into primary

band and secondary band with different transmit power
