LTE Introduction 0056532 Tzu-chin Liu 15th March 2012
Outline • Overview • Network architecture • Protocol stack • Resource element • Frame structure • TDD frame configuration • TDD special subframe • MIMO • Random access procedure
LTE Overview • LTE – Long Term Evolution: The 4th generation telecommunication standards. • Evolved from the 3GPP system.(R8) • RAN: LTE • Core: SAE(System Architecture Evolution) • Characteristics: • Packet switching • All – IP network • Higher data rate • OFDMA based • MIMO supported
Protocol Stack • User plane: • Control plane:
Resource element • The basic unit when allocating carrier resource. • Resource Element(RE): • One subcarrier by one symbol • Resource Block(RB): • 12 subcarriers by 7 symbol • Resource Element Group(REG): • For control plane • One REG has 4 or 6 REs.
LTE Frame Structure • One radio frame has 10 ms: • 10 subframes, each of 1 ms. • Duplexing: • FDD • TDD
LTE TDD Frame • UL-DL configuration: • LTE TDD can have 7 UL-DL subframe configurations. • Special Subframe: • Provide a gap to allow switching from DL to UL a transition subframe.
MIMO • Multiple-Input Multiple-Output: • multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. • Better throughput • Longer transmission distance
MIMO modes • Downlink Transmission Mode: • Release 8 have defined 7 transmission modes.
Random Access Procedure • Random access purpose: Set up the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection when: • Idle state or initial power on • Handover • Synchronization • Reset RRC
