 The advantages of FDD are typically observed in situations where the uplink and downlink data
transmissions are symmetrical (such as voice call), which means uplink-downlink subframe configuration
for LTE FDD is only one: 1:1.
 On the contrary, uplink and downlink data transmissions in LTE TDD are unsymmetrical, which is better at
reallocating traffic than LTE FDD such as Internet or other data centric services.
 There are totally 7 uplink-downlink subframe configurations defined in 3GPP. Carrier can select proper
configuration based on traffic type.
 So far, Huawei eNodeB support configuration 0, 1, 2 and 5.

Special subframe-GP
The functions of GP are as following:

 Ensure that uplink signal from UEs at varying distances arrive at the air interface of eNodeB at
the same time.
 Provide a downlink-to-downlink conversion time, including TX/RX switch delay of equipment and
signal transmission delay. (In fact, it’s also need time for eNodeB to switch from downlink to
uplink, which has been hidden in GP).
 The length of GP determines the radius of cell. The maximum of cell radius supported by LTE
TDD is 100km. Sync Error
 Avoid interference between adjacent eNodeBs.

HARQ
FEC HARQ
＋＝
ARQ
 FEC: Forward Error Correction. The transmitter adds ‘check bits’ or redundant bits to the data stream
and coded into the data in a very special way, which allows for efficient error correction by the
receiver. Because FEC does not require handshaking between transmitter and receiver, and that
means if there is an error, the receiver can not inform transmitter, so reliability of FEC is low.
 ARQ: Automatic Repeat reQuest. When receiver detects an error in a packet, it automatically
requests the transmitter to resend the packet. So the efficiency of ARQ may be low.
 HARQ: Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest. It’s an effective combination of ARQ and FEC. Both
reliability and efficiency is high.

HARQ feedback
According to 3GPP protocol, DL data must send feedback of ACK/NACK to UL subframe and have
fixed time relationship with initial transmission data to save signaling overhead. Besides, there must
be an interval for transmission delay and demodulation after initial transmission:
FDD: DL-UL subframe configuration is fixed to 1:1, the interval is fixed to 4 TTI (ie. 4ms)
TDD: the interval varies with DL-UL subframe configuration for it maybe not the expected uplink
subframe after 4 TTI
Disadvantages:
 Interval is not fixed, which makes the algorithm much more complex.
 The max interval for DL HARQ is 13 TTI, which increases HARQ process RTT greatly and
challenges the storage capacity of UE’s physical layer.

PSS/SSS location is different
TDD
FDD
 Information carried on PSS/SSS is same for both LTE TDD and LTE FDD.
 The location of PSS and SSS is different in LTE TDD and LTE FDD frame.
For FDD, the PSS neighbors SSS. The PSS is transmitted in the last symbol of sub-frame #0 and #5.
the SSS is transmitted in the next to the last OFDM symbol of sub-frame #0 and #5.
For TDD, there are 2 OFDM symbol between PSS and SSS. The PSS is transmitted in the first
symbol of DwPTS and the SSS is transmitted in the last symbol of sub-frame #0 in each 5ms radio half
frame.
 Since the relative position of the PSS/SSS is different for TDD and FDD the UE can identify whether
the cell is FDD or TDD in the cell search.

AAS
Adaptive Antenna System
 AAS works by adjusting the width and the angle of the antenna radiation pattern. It can
focus its transmit energy to the direction of a receiver, meanwhile, it also can eliminate
interference from other users by steering the nulls to the direction of interferers.
Interferers
Desired Signal
 AAS calculates the weight of beam shaping based on the reliable estimation of channel.
 For FDD, DL channel estimation from UE must feedback to eNodeB rapidly. When UE
moves at a high speed, signal cost of channel estimation is great for the channel changes
fast. Besides, there is no guarantee for the channel estimation because of UE feedback
delay.
 For TDD, eNodeB can use the UL channel estimation as DL channel estimation for the
channel reciprocity.
 Therefore, AAS is more suitable for LTE TDD.

RRU Structure
TDD
FDD
 For LTE FDD, signal transmission and reception are on the different frequency band, which
need a duplexer to separate transmission and receive, and that will introduce 1dB insertion loss.
 For LTE TDD, signal transmission and receive on the same frequency band but different time,
need a T/R converter to make the transmission and receive path connect to antenna system in
different time periods, and that will introduce 2~2.5dB insertion loss and T/R switch delay.

 Dedicated RS/UE-specific RS: only used for demodulation of Beamforming
 Only LTE TDD used

UL reference signals
Uplink reference signals are classified into demodulation reference signals (DM RSs) and
sounding reference signals (SRSs).
 DM RS
Demodulation reference signal, transmitted with PUSCH or PUCCH and used for data
demodulation.
 SRS
Sounding reference signal, is not transmitted with PUSCH and PUCCH, scheduling by high
layer signal, used for UE channel measurement to realized UL frequency selection
scheduling.
Difference
 LTE FDD: SRSs are only transmitted on ordinary subframes.
 LTE TDD: To raise the spectral efficiency, SRSs can be transmitted on both ordinary
subframes and special subframes.

Network Design
The networking differences mainly lie in network planning:
 LTE FDD: Only frequency planning is required and frequency planning is completed in
combination with ICIC
 LTE TDD: frequency planning and timeslot planning are required. Frequency planning is
completed in combination with ICIC, while timeslot planning is completed based on
service distribution and interference isolation.
Three major networking modes of LTE TDD :
Single frequency Multi-frequency network: Multi-DL-UL allocation network: UL

network: all the cell in there are no sub-carrier traffic from eNodeB #2 may be
the whole network use collision between cells at severely interfered by DL traffic

 IRAT interference including:
Adjacent-channel interference: caused by extraneous power from a signal in an adjacent channel, it’s
rare in IRAT.
Spurious interference: generated by the interference source on the working frequency band of the
interfered receiver
Intermodulation interference: caused by system nonlinearities, signals containing two or more different
frequencies,
Block interference: generated by a strong interference signal out of the receive band that makes the
receiver work in saturation state and then reduces the gains.
 We pay more attention on Spurious interference and Block interference
