3 General Principles

Principles

A cyclic prefix (CP) is a copy of the end of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) symbol inserted at the beginning. Each CP serves as a guard interval between
OFDM symbols, as shown in Figure 3-1.
 Figure 3-1 Structure of an OFDM symbol in the time domain

Radio signals are transmitted between an eNodeB and a UE through multiple propagation
paths. The maximum transmission delay difference between paths is the delay spread. In
typical eNodeB deployment scenarios (for example, urban areas), the delay spread is
generally short. However, in some areas with special channel environments (for example,
valleys) or special network topologies (for example, roads covered with several RRUs
serving one cell), the delay spread is long. In addition, the delay spread increases with the
cell radius.
To mitigate intersymbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by
delay spread in the OFDM system, the CP technique is introduced.
The symbol energy that can be captured by an OFDM receiver depends on the CP length:
• If the CP is longer than the multipath delay spread of an OFDM symbol, the
OFDM receiver can capture all the energy of the symbol.
• If the CP is shorter than the multipath delay spread of an OFDM symbol, the
OFDM receiver can capture only some energy of the symbol.
If the multipath components of an OFDM symbol whose multipath delay spread is longer
than the CP are incorrectly received as a subsequent OFDM symbol, interference is
generated to the actual subsequent OFDM symbol. This causes ISI. If the interfered OFDM
symbol then mistakenly captures some multipath components of adjacent symbols, the
orthogonality between subcarriers is lost after fast Fourier transformation (FFT). This
causes ICI. To avoid ISI and ICI, a sufficiently long CP is required. However, an
unnecessarily long CP must be avoided because it causes high system overhead and a loss
of spectral efficiency.
To balance system performance, system overhead, and data transmission capability, normal
CP and extended CP were defined in section 5.6 "SC-FDMA baseband signal generation"
and section 6.12 "OFDM baseband signal generation" of 3GPP TS 36.211 V8.9.0 for non-
RACH channels to meet different multipath delay spread requirements.

Related Parameters

Normal CP and extended CP are specified by Cell.UlCyclicPrefix and Cell.DlCyclicPrefix.

In TDD, the setting of Cell.SpecialSubframePatterns depends on the combination of
Cell.UlCyclicPrefix and Cell.DlCyclicPrefix, as shown in the following table.

Normal CP is a basic feature and is enabled by default. It applies to scenarios where the
delay spread is short.
shows the structure of a timeslot in the normal CP case. The timeslot consists of
Figure 4-1
seven downlink OFDM symbols or uplink single carrier frequency division multiple access
(SC-FDMA) symbols. The CP length of symbol 0 is approximately 5.2 µs, and the CP
lengths of the other six symbols are approximately 4.7 µs.
Figure 4-1 Structure of a timeslot in the normal CP case (with a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz)

The system overhead for the normal CP case shown in Figure 4-1 is calculated using the
following formula:

At the moment when the CP modification takes effect in an activated cell, services carried
by UEs are interrupted in the cell. The duration for the UEs to reacquire synchronization
with the cell depends on the synchronization performance of the UEs.

 • Single/batch configuration
This feature can be activated for a single eNodeB or a batch of eNodeBs on the
CME. For detailed operations, see CME-based Feature Configuration.
4.4.2 Activation Verification

1. On the U2000, run the LST CELL command and check the values of Uplink
cyclic prefix length and Downlink cyclic prefix length.
• If the values are Normal, normal CP has been configured.
• If the values are Extended, extended CP has been configured.
2. On the U2000, start Uu interface tracing, deactivate the cell, and then reactivate
it. Wait until the cell is successfully activated, and then check the value of the
information element (IE) ul-CyclicPrefixLength in the first RRC_SYS_INFO
message (a SIB2 message) over the Uu interface.
• If its value is len1(0), normal CP is working in the uplink.
• If its value is len2(1), extended CP is working in the uplink.

CP configuration in the downlink is transparent to UEs. Therefore, there are no messages to

check for the downlink.

5 Extended CP

5.1 Principles

Extended CP applies to scenarios where the delay spread is long. When multipath
interference is severe, system performance deteriorates significantly if the multipath delay
spread is longer than a normal CP. Extended CP enhances multipath delay spread resistance
in large-cell-radius scenarios and multipath interference resistance. However, extended CP
increases the system overhead and consumes certain number of transport resources.
shows the structure of a timeslot in the extended CP case. The timeslot consists of
Figure 5-1
six downlink OFDM symbols or uplink SC-FDMA symbols. The CP length of each symbol
is approximately 16.7 μs.
Figure 5-1 Structure of a timeslot in the extended CP case (with a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz)

As shown in Figure 5-1, an extended CP is longer than a normal CP. The permissible
multipath delay at the receiving end increases with the CP length. The use of extended CP,
however, causes more system overhead than the use of normal CP. The system overhead
for the extended CP case is calculated using the following formula:

5.2 Network Analysis

5.2.1 Benefits

The CP technique mitigates ISI and ICI caused by multipath delay, ensuring network
coverage in E-UTRAN cells.
The deployment suggestions of extended CP are as follows:
• It is recommended that extended CP be activated to improve uplink and
downlink signal to interference plus noise ratios (SINRs) if the multipath delay
spread exceeds the normal CP length of 4.7 μs in the area (the time difference is
greater than the length of a normal CP, 4.7 μs), for example, where there are high
buildings or mountains in the distance that will reflect signals. This condition can
be interpreted as follows: There is at least 1.5 km difference between the line of
sight (LOS) path of a signal arriving at a UE and the reflected path of the same
signal last arriving at the UE.
 • It is difficult to obtain the actual multipath delay spread. To evaluate whether to
use extended CP, operators can estimate whether the multipath delay spread is
longer than the normal CP length based on the building distribution and
landform.
• UEs may not support extended CP. Enabling this function may cause exceptions
of such UEs. It is not recommended that this function be enabled if there are such
UEs on the live network. The extended CP capability of UEs depends on UEs
themselves.

This capability cannot be identified through UE capability information. If a UE can access a cell
with extended CP enabled and the UE data rate can reach its peak value, this indicates that the
UE supports extended CP.

5.2.2 Impacts

Network Impacts

The use of extended CP causes more system overhead than the use of normal CP and
therefore system capacity decreases.
