optimisation of the UTRAN architecture

With HSPA (downlink and uplink), UTRA will remain highly competitive for several years

LTE project aims to ensure the continued competitiveness of the 3GPP technologies for the future (started at Nov. 2004)

Motivations

Need for PS optimized system Evolve UMTS towards packet only system

Need for higher data rates Can be achieved with HSDPA/HSUPA and/or new air interface defined by 3GPP LTE

Need for high quality of services Use of licensed frequencies to guarantee quality of services

Always-on experience (reduce control plane latency significantly)

Reduce round trip delay

Need for cheaper infrastructure Simplify architecture, reduce number of network elements

Most data users are less mobile


Detailed Requirements* Peak data rate

Instantaneous downlink peak data rate of 100 Mb/s within a 20 MHz downlink

spectrum allocation (5 bps/Hz)

Instantaneous uplink peak data rate of 50 Mb/s within a 20MHz uplink spectrum

allocation(2.5 bps/Hz)

Control-plane latency

Transition time of less than 100 ms from a camped state, such as Release 6

Idle Mode, to an active state such as Release 6 CELL_DCH

Transition time of less than 50 ms between a dormant state such as Release 6

CELL_PCH and an active state such as Release 6 CELL_DCH

Control-plane capacity

At least 200 users per cell should be supported in the active state for spectrum

allocations up to 5 MHz

User-plane latency

Less than 5 ms in unload condition (ie single user with single data stream) for

small IP packet

Spectrum efficiency

Downlink: In a loaded network, target for spectrum efficiency (bits/sec/Hz/site), 3 to 4 times Release 6 HSDPA )

Uplink: In a loaded network, target for spectrum efficiency (bits/sec/Hz/site), 2 to 3 times Release 6 Enhanced Uplink

Mobility

E-UTRAN should be optimized for low mobile speed from 0 to 15 km/h

Higher mobile speed between 15 and 120 km/h should be supported with high performance

Mobility across the cellular network shall be maintained at speeds from 120 km/h to 350 km/h (or even up to 500 km/h depending on the frequency band)

Coverage

Throughput, spectrum efficiency and mobility targets above should be met up to 5 km cells, and with a slight degradation up to 30 km cells. Cells range up to 100 km should not be precluded.

E-UTRA shall operate in spectrum allocations of different sizes, including 1.25 MHz, 2.5

MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz and 20 MHz in both the uplink and downlink. Operation

in paired and unpaired spectrum shall be supported

Co-existence and Inter-working with 3GPP RAT (UTRAN, GERAN)

Architecture and migration

Single E-UTRAN architecture

The E-UTRAN architecture shall be packet based, although provision should be made

to support systems supporting real-time and conversational class traffic

E-UTRAN architecture shall support an end-to-end QoS

UE-eNB Communication Link

“Single and same link of communication for DL and UL”

DL serving cell = UL serving cell

No UL nor DL macro-diversity

Hard handover-based mobility

- UE assisted (based on measurement reports) and network controlled

(explicit handover command) by default

- During handover, UE uses a RACH-based mobility procedure to access

the target cell

- Handover is initiated by the UE when it detects a Radio Link failure

condition

Load indicator for inter-cell load control and interference coordination

- Transmitted over X2 interface

ICIC* in LTE Standards Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC)

To aid downlink ICIC

Relative narrowband transmission-power indicator

A cell can provide this information to neighboring cells, indicating the part of the

bandwidth where it intends to limit the transmission power. A cell receiving the indication

can schedule its downlink transmissions within this band, reducing the output power or

completely freeing the resources on complementary parts of the spectrum

To aid uplink ICIC

High interference indicator

The high-interference indicator provides information to neighboring cells about the part of

the cell bandwidth upon which the cell intends to schedule its cell-edge users. Because

cell-edge users are susceptible to inter-cell interference, upon receiving the high-

interference indicator, a cell might want to avoid scheduling certain subsets of its own

users on this part of the bandwidth.

Overload indicator

The overload indicator provides information on the uplink interference level experienced

in each part of the cell bandwidth. A cell receiving the overload indicator may reduce the

interference generated on some of these resource blocks by adjusting its scheduling

strategy


OFDMA: Frequency Selective Gain

EPS Bearer Service Architecture


EPS Bearer Terminology

Quality of service

GBR bearer: Guaranteed bit rate

Non-GBR bearer: No guaranteed bit rate

Establishment time

Default bearer

Established when UE connects to PDN

Provides always-on connectivity

Always non-GBR

Dedicated bearer established later

Can be GBR or non-GBR

Every EPS bearer

QoS class identifier (QCI): This is a number which describes the error rate and

delay that are associated with the service.

Allocation and retention priority (ARP): This determines whether a bearer can be

dropped if the network gets congested, or whether it can cause other bearers to be

dropped. Emergency calls might be associated with a high ARP, for example.

Resource Block Allocations

Localized allocation

Distributed allocation

„Simple bitmap‟ whose size is equal to the number of RBs of the system

Merit: The most flexible signaling of resource block allocation

Demerit: High overhead

Not used in LTE

LTE has 3 resource allocation type

Type0: grouped bitmap

Type1: grouped bitmap, enable 1 RB allocation

Type2: VRB/PRB for localized & distributed


Resource Allocation Type0

Reduce the size of bitmap by grouping (RBG)

Bitmap points the group, not the individual RB

Cannot allocate 1RB in wide system BW

5MHz LTE example



Reduce the size of bitmap by grouping (RBG)

Bitmap points the individual RB within a selected subset

The number of subsets is equal to RBG size in type0

Can allocate 1RB in wide system BW

3 fields

Subset ID: used to indicate the selected RBG subset among P subsets

Frequency shift bit: one bit to indicate whether to consider a shift of PRB within an RBG

Bitmap: each bit of the bitmap addresses a single PRB in the selected RBG subset

10MHz LTE example



Does not rely on a bitmap

Basically „frequency-contiguous‟ allocation

Using VRB to PRB mapping, distributed allocation can be enabled

2 values

Start: a RIV (resource indication value) defines the index of the starting VRB

Length: length of virtually contiguously allocated resource blocks

5MHz LTE example


PRB and VRB (LVRB, DVRB) Physical resource blocks are numbered from 0 to in the frequency domain.

The relation between the physical resource block number in the frequency domain

and resource elements in a slot is given by

A virtual resource block is of the same size as a physical resource block.

Two types of virtual resource blocks are defined: LVRB and DVRB

Virtual resource blocks of localized type are mapped directly to PRBs such that virtual

resource block corresponds to physical resource block .

UL L1/L2 Control Signaling Transmission

Two different methods for transmission of UL L1/L2 control signaling

No simultaneous transmission of UL-SCH

UE doesn’t have a valid scheduling grant, that is, no resources have been

assigned for UL-SCH in the current subframe

PUCCH is used for transmission of UL L1/L2 control signaling

Simultaneous transmission of UL-SCH

UE has a valid scheduling grant, that is, resources have been assigned for UL-

SCH in the current subframe

UL L1/L2 control signaling is time multiplexed with the coded UL-SCH onto

PUSCH prior to SC-FDMA modulation

Only HARQ acknowledgement and channel-status reports are transmitted

No need to request a SR. Instead, in-band buffer status reports are sent in

MAC headers

The basis for channel-status reports on PUSCH is aperiodic reports

If a periodic report is configured to be transmitted on PUCCH in a frame when

US is scheduled to transmit PUSCH, then the periodic report is rerouted to

PUSCH resources


UL L1/L2 control signaling on PUCCH

The reasons for locating PUCCH resources at the edges of the spectrum

To maximize frequency diversity

To retain single-carrier property

Multiple UEs can share the same PUCCH resource block

Format 1: length-12 orthogonal phase rotation sequence + length-4 orthogonal cover

Format 2: length-12 orthogonal phase rotation sequence

PUCCH Resource Mapping

Format 1

4 symbols are modulated by BPSK/QPSK

BPSK/QPSK symbol is multiplied by a length-4 orthogonal cover sequence (a length-3 orthogonal cover when there is SRS), and then it modulates the rotated length-12 sequence.

Reference signals also employ one orthogonal cover sequence

PUCCH capacity: up to 3 x 12 = 36 different UEs per each cell-specific sequence(assuming all 12 rotations being available Practically, only 6 rotations.)

Format 2

5 symbols are modulated by QPSK after being multiplied by a phase rotated length-12 cell specific sequence.

Resource consumption of one channel-status report is 3x of HARQ acknowledgement

PUSCH Frequency Hopping

PUSCH transmission

Localized transmission w/o frequency hopping

Frequency Selective Scheduling Gain

Localized transmission with “frequency hopping”

Frequency Diversity Gain, Inter-cell Interference Randomization

Two types of PUSCH frequency hopping

Subband-based hopping according to cell-specific hopping patterns

Hopping based on explicit hopping information in the scheduling grant


Hopping based on cell-specific patterns

Subbands are defined

In 10 MHz BW case, the overall UL BW corresponds to 50 RBs and there are a total of 4 subbands, each consisting

of 11 RBs. The remaining 6 RBs are used for PUCCH transmission.

The resource defined by a scheduling grant (VRBs) is not the actual set of RBs for transmission.

The resource to use for transmission (PRBs) is the resource provided in the scheduling grant “shifted” a

number of subbands according to a cell-specific hopping pattern.


More on hopping w/ cell-specific patterns

Example for predefined hopping for PUSCH with 20 RBs and M=4

(subband hopping + mirroring)


Hopping based on explicit information

Explicit hopping information provided in the scheduling grant is about the “offset” of the

resource in the second slot, relative to the resource in the first slot

Selection b/w hopping based on cell-specific hopping patterns or hopping based on explicit

information can be done dynamically.

Cell BW less than 50 RBs

1 bit in scheduling grant indicating to specify which scheme is to be used

When hopping based on explicit information is selected, the offset is always half of BW

Cell BS equal or larger than 50 RBs

2 bits in scheduling grant

One of the combinations indicate that hopping should be based on cell-specific hopping patterns

Three remaining combinations indicate hopping of 1/2, +1/4, and -1/4 of BW
