•LTE is the next step in the evolution of 3GPP Radio Interfaces to deliver “Global
Mobile Broadband”.
Drivers for LTE
 There are at least three major key drivers for LTE mobile
broadband networks:
 Demand for higher data-rates
 increasing device capabilities, growing mobile data consumption
 New spectrum allocation
 Maintaining operator profitability while continued cost reduction and

competitiveness.

1.1 LTE Development
LTE Operating Bands
 LTE supports both FDD mode and TDD mode.
 3GPP defines many bands for LTE.
LTE Channel Bandwidths
 LTE must support the international wireless market and
regional spectrum regulations and spectrum availability. To
this end the specifications include variable channel
bandwidths selectable from 1.4 to 20 MHz, with subcarrier
spacing of 15 kHz.

LTE Key Technologies
 OFDMA: Orthogonal frequency division multiple access
 SC-FDMA: Single carrier-frequency division multiple

access
 MIMO: Multiple input multiple output
 64QAM
Multiple access technology in the
downlink: OFDM and OFDMA
 OFDMA is used as multiple access technology in downlink.
OFDMA is a variant of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM), a digital multi-carrier modulation scheme.
OFDM signal represented in frequency and time
Multiple access technology in the
downlink: OFDM and OFDMA (cont.)
 OFMDA incorporates elements of time division multiple access
(TDMA).

Downlink OFDM Implementation (cont.)
Multiple access technology in the uplink:
SC-FDMA
 The high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) associated with OFDM led
3GPP to look for a different transmission scheme for the LTE
uplink.
 SC-FDMA is used in uplink as multiple access technology.

LTE Multiple Antenna Scheme
 In downlink LTE can use 2*2 or higher order MIMO to increase
date rate.
 In uplink MU-MIMO (multi-user MIMO) can be used to double
uplink capacity.
 With MU-MIMO the uplink peak data rate of single user can not be
doubled.
AMC & 64QAM
 AMC, Adaptive Modulation and Coding
 the radio-link data rate is controlled by adjusting the
modulation scheme and/or the channel coding rate
 DL/UL modulations: QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM
