`
`LTE (Long Term Evollution) or the E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network), introduced in 3GPP R8, is the
`access part of the Evolved Packet System (EPS). The main requirements for the new access network are high spectral
`efficiency, high peak data rates, short round trip time as well as flexibility in frequency and bandwidth.

`GSM was developed to carry real time services, in a circuit switched manner (blue in figure 1), with data services only possible
`over a circuit switched modem connection, with very low data rates. The first step towards an IP based packet switched (green
`in figure 1) solution was taken with the evolution of GSM to GPRS, using the same air interface and access method, TDMA
`(Time Division Multiple Access).
`
`To reach higher data rates in UMTS (Universal Mobile Terrestrial System) a new access technology WCDMA (Wideband Code
`Division Multiple Access) was developed. The access network in UMTS emulates a circuit switched connection for real time
`sen/ices and a packet switched connection for datacom services (black in figure 1). In UMTS the IP address is allocated to the
`UE when a datacom service is established and released when the service is released. Incoming datacom services are therefore

`still relying upon the circuit switched core for paging.

`
`The Evolved Packet System (EPS) is purely lP based. Both real time services and datacom services will be carried by the IP
`protocol. The IP address is allocated when the mobile is switched on and released when switched off.
`The new access solution, LTE, is based on OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and in combination with
`higher order modulation (up to 64QAM), large bandwidths (up to 20 MHz) and spatial multiplexing in the downlink (up to 4x4)
`high data rates can be achieved. The highest theoretical peak data rate on the transport channel is 75 Mbpsin the uplink, and in
`the downlink, using spatial multiplexing, the rate can be as high as 300 Mbps.
`
`The LTE access network is simply a network of base stations, evolved NodeB (eNB), generating a flat architecture (figure 2).
`There is no centralized intelligent controller, and the eNBs are normally inter-connected viathe X2-interface and towards the
`core network by the Si-interface (figuire 2). The reason for distributing the intelligence amongst the base-stations in LTE is to
`speed up the connection set-up and reduce the time required for a handover. For an end-user the connection set-up time for a
`real time data session is in many cases crucial, especially in on-line gaming. The time for a handover is essential for real-time
`sen/ices where end-users tend to end calls if the handover takes too long.

`
`
`
`Another advantage with the distributed solution is that the MAC protocol layer, which is responsible for scheduling, is
`represented only in the UE and in the base station leading to fast communication and decisions between the eNB and the UE.
`ln UMTS the MAC protocol, and scheduling, is located in the controller and when HSDPA was introduced an additional MAC
`sub-layer, responsible for HSPA scheduling was added in the NB.
`
`The scheduler is a key component for the achievement of a fast adjusted and efficiently utilized radio resource. The
`Transmission Time lnten/al (TTI) is set to only 1 ms.
`
`During each 'l'l'l the eNB scheduler shall:
`
`consider the physical radio environment per UE. The UEs report their perceived radio quality, as an input to the
`scheduler to decide which Modulation and Coding scheme to use. The solution relies on rapid adaptation to channel
`variations, employing HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) with soft-combining and rate adaptation.
`
`prioritize the 008 service requirements amongst the UEs. LTE supports both delay sensitive real-time sen/ices as
`well as datacom services requiring high data peak rates.
`
`inform the UEs of allocated radio resources. The eNB schedules the UEs both on the downlink and on the uplink. For
`each UE scheduled in a TTl the user data will be carried in a Transport Block (TB). DLthere can be a maximum of two
`TBs generated per TTl per UE — if spatial multiplexing is used. The TB is delivered on a transport channel.
`In LTE the
`number of channels is decreased compare to UMTS. For the user plane there isonly one shared transport channel in each
`direction. The TB sent on the channel, can therefore contain bits from a number of sen/ices, multiplexed together.
`
`To achieve high radio spectral efficiency as well as enable efficient scheduling in both time and frequency domain, a multicarrier
`approach for multiple access was chosen by 3GPP. For the downlink, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)
`was selected and for the uplink SC-FDMA (Single Carrier - Frequency Division Multiple Access) also known as DFT (Discrete

`Figure 3 OFDMA and SC-FDMA
`
`OFDM is a multicarrier technology subdividing the available bandwidth into a multitude of mutual orthogonal narrowband
`subcarriers. ln OFDMA these subcarriers can be shared between multiple users. The OFDMA solution leads to high Peak-to-
`Average Power Ratio (PAPR) requiring expensive power amplifiers with high requirements on linearity, increasing the power
`consumption for the sender. This is no problem in the eNB, but would lead to very expensive handsets. Hence a different
`solution was selected for the UL. As illustrated in figure 3, the SC-FDMA solution generates a signal with single carrier
`characteristics, hence with a low PAPR.
`
`To enable possible deployment around the world, supporting as many regulatory requirements as possible, LTE is developed for
`a number of frequency bands — E-UTRA operating bands- currently ranging from 700 MHz up to 2.7GHz. The available
`bandwidths are also flexible starting with 1.4 MHz up to 20 MHz. LTE is developed to support both the time division duplex
`technology (TDD) as well as frequency division duplex (FDD). In R8 there are 15 bands specified for FDD and eight bands for
`TTD. In R9 four bands were added for FDD. Also added in R9 were for example Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Sen/ice
`(MBMS), and Home eNB (HeNB), see figure 4. MBMS is used to provide broadcast information to all users, for example
`advertisement, and multicast to a closed group subscribing to a specific service, e.g. streaming TV. HeNBs are introduced
`mainly to provide coverage indoors, in homes or offices.The HeNB is a low power eNB that will be used in small cells — femto
`cells. Normally it will be owned by the customer, deployed without any network planning and connected to the operators EPC
`(Evolved Packet Core).
