•LTE is the next step in the evolution of 3GPP Radio Interfaces to deliver “Global
Mobile Broadband”.

Drivers for LTE
 There are at least three major key drivers for LTE mobile broadband
networks:
 Demand for higher data-rates
 increasing device capabilities, growing mobile data consumption

 New spectrum allocation


 Maintaining operator profitability while continued cost reduction and
competitiveness.

LTE Operating Bands
 LTE supports both FDD mode and TDD mode.
 3GPP defines many bands for LTE.

Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page13
LTE Channel Bandwidths
 LTE must support the international wireless market and regional
spectrum regulations and spectrum availability. To this end the
specifications include variable channel bandwidths selectable from
1.4 to 20 MHz, with subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz.

LTE Key Technologies

 OFDMA: Orthogonal frequency division multiple access


 SC-FDMA: Single carrier-frequency division multiple access
 MIMO: Multiple input multiple output
 64QAM

Multiple access technology in the downlink:
OFDM and OFDMA
 OFDMA is used as multiple access technology in downlink. OFDMA is
a variant of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a
digital multi-carrier modulation scheme.

Multiple access technology in the uplink: SC-
FDMA
 The high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) associated with OFDM led 3GPP
to look for a different transmission scheme for the LTE uplink.
 SC-FDMA is used in uplink as multiple access technology.

LTE Multiple Antenna Scheme
 In downlink LTE can use 2*2 or higher order MIMO to increase date rate.
 In uplink MU-MIMO (multi-user MIMO) can be used to double uplink
capacity.
 With MU-MIMO the uplink peak data rate of single user can not be doubled.

AMC & 64QAM
 AMC, Adaptive Modulation and Coding
 the radio-link data rate is controlled by adjusting the modulation
scheme and/or the channel coding rate
