Analysis of LTE for AMI Headend/DAP Interface Michael SouryalSeptember 3, 2010
Assumptions Topology • UEs uniformly distributed in the sector • 3 sectors per cell site • Inter-sector interference neglected (for now) Traffic • No bundling of messages from DAP to Headend and vice versa: each message to/from a meter is sent individually over the LTE network. LTE Configuration • 5 MHz per uplink and downlink • SISO antennas • MCS selected adaptively to maximize throughput
LTE Device Parameters Source: 3GPP TR 36.942 V8.2.0 *eNodeB antenna radiation pattern
Propagation Model • Path loss (dB) with distance R (km): X represents lognormal shadowing with a standard deviation of 10 dB. • Path loss parameters: Source: 3GPP TR 36.942 V8.2.0
Calculation of SNR • Received power (dBm) • Noise power spectral density (dBm/Hz) • Received SNR per subcarrier symbol (dB)
Coverage Analysis • Maximum transmitter-receiver separation, Rmax • Maximum distance along antenna boresight at which MCS 0 can be supported with 10-3 BLER (neglecting shadowing) • Values of Rmax for 0 = 2.4 dB:
Calculation of Sector Throughput Steps • Calculate the probability that MCS i will be used:(SNR varies with location in cell and shadowing.) • Let Si be the throughput of MCS i. • Then, the average (aggregate) throughput in the sector is: • Calculate sector throughput separately for the uplink and downlink.
Sector Throughput Results Urban Area Rural Area Rmin = 0.2 km Rmin = 1 km
Average Capacity per Smart Meter • Ratio of sector aggregate throughput to number of smart meters in sector:where is the meter density (number of SMs per sq. km.) • Example meter densities
Average Capacity per Smart Meter Urban Area Rural Area
Required Throughput Assumptions • Required application throughputs based on 3 use cases: Service Switch (SS), Meter Reading (MR), and Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)1 • 42-byte overhead per message Required Throughputs • More than two orders of magnitude below average capacity at coverage limits 1 M.
