Why LTE? • Applications: • Interactive gaming • DVD quality video • Data download/upload • Targets: • High data rates at high speed • Low latency • Packet optimized radio access technology • Goals: • Improving efficiency • Lowering costs • Reducing complexity • Improving services • Making use of new spectrum opportunities and better integration with other open standards (such as WLAN and WiMAX) Tieto
Introduction • November 2004, 3GPP Rel8: Long-term Evolution (LTE) • Related specifications are formally known as the evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) and evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) • LTE encompasses the evolution of: - the radio access through the E-UTRAN - the non-radio aspects under the term System Architecture Evolution (SAE) • Entire system composed of both LTE and SAE is called the Evolved Packet System (EPS) Tieto

LTE PHY - MIMO Basics • Minimum antenna requirement: 2 at eNodeB 2 Rx at UE • Transmission of several independent data streams in parallel => increased data rate • The radio channel consists of NTx x NRx paths • Theoretical maximum rate increase factor = Min(NTx x NRx) Tieto
LTE PHY - OFDM Basics • Sub-carriers are orthogonal • All the sub-carriers allocated to a given user are transmitted in parallel. • The carrier spacing is 15kHz Tieto

Conclusion • Scalable bandwidth • Downlink and uplink peak data rates are 100 and 50 Mbit/s respectively for 20 MHz bandwidth. • MIMO • OFDM • At least 200 mobile terminals in the active state for 5MHz bandwidth.If bandwidth is more than 5MHz, at least 400 terminals should be supported. • PHY key technologies enable higher spectral efficiency, peak rate and lower latency Tieto
