LTE – Basics
What is LTE ? � 3 GPP Long Term Evolution, referred to as LTE and marketed as 4 G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using new modulation techniques. In Nov. 2004, 3 GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology �Higher performance �Backwards compatible �Wide application 5
LTE – Key factors �LTE � High Data Rates � � � > 100 Mbps – Downlink > 50 Mbps – Uplink Channel Setup < 100 ms �Why ? � Mobile Broadband Tendency � Customers need for more Spectral Efficience platform for Mobile data communicattion. ( Cost of Bits / Hz) � Efficient – Reducing OPEX & CAPEX � Easy to deploy (self configuring/optimizing) � TDD / FDD & Spectrum Flexibility � New Services (IPTV & Games in Real Time) � High Performance for Broadcast Services � Wide Range of Terminals � Increase Service Provisioning

LTE – Long Term Evolution Channels
Channel Structure – Downlink and Uplink Downlink MTCH MCCH PCCH BCCH DTCH DCCH DTCH CCCH DCCH CCCH “type of information” (traffic/control) pri sec PCH MCH BCH Logical Channels RACH UL-SCH DL-SCH Transport Channels “how and with what characteristics” (common/shared/mc/bc) PDCCH info PMCH PBCH PDSCH PCFICH -Sched TF DL -Sched grant UL -Pwr Ctrl cmd ACK/NACK -HARQ info PDCCH PHICH Physical Channels PUCCH PUSCH PRACH ACK/NACK CQI Scheduling req. “bits, symbols, modulation, radio frames etc”
LTE – Logical Channels ( type of Information) BCCH ( Broadcast Control Channel ) Used for transmission of system control information to all mobiles in the cell. Prior to access the network the mobile needs to read the information on BCCH to find out how the system is configured, for example the bandwidth. PCCH ( Paging Control Channel ) used for Paging of Mobiles whose location on cell level in not know to the network. DCCH ( Dedicated Control Channel ) Used for Transmission of control information to/from mobile. This channel is used for individual configuration of Terminals such as differents kinds of handover messages.
LTE – Logical Channels ( type of Information) �MCCH ( Multicast Control Channel ) � used for transmission of control information required for reception of the MTCH. �DTCH ( Dedicated Traffic Channel ) � used for transmission of user data to/from a mobile terminal. This is the logical channel type used for transmission of all uplink and non-MBMS downlink user data. �MTCH ( Multicast Traffic Channel ) � used for downlink transmission of MBMS services.
LTE – Transport Channels � BCH ( Broadcast Channel ) � � Fixed Tranport Format Used for identification of cells & transmission of BCCH logical channel. � RACH ( Random Access Channel ) � � Used for Access the Network from the. Terminal. Limited control information and colission risk. � PCH ( Paging Channel ) � is used for transmission of paging information on the PCCH logical channel. The PCH supports discontinuous reception (DRX) to allow the mobile terminal to save battery power by sleeping and waking up to receive the PCH only at predefined time instants.
LTE – Transport Channels �DL-SCH (Downlink Shared Channel) � Used for transmission of data in LTE � DL SCH TTI is 1 ms � Support Features as Dynamic Rate Adaptation & Channel Dependent Scheduling in time and frequency domain. �MCH ( Multi Cast Channel) � Used to support MBMS �UL - SCH ( Uplink Shared Channel ) � Used for transmission of data in LTE � UL SCH TTI 1 ms � Support Features as Dynamic Rate Adaptation & Channel Dependent Scheduling in time and frequency domain.
