LTE _A Measurement
Completion of MBSFN, new frequency bands, adding the 8th downlink Tx mode (MIMO plus beamsteering), addition of Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) for Observed Time Difference Of Arrival (OTDOA) positioning The most significant for Agilent is the introduction of Multi-Standard Radio (MSR) which is performance requirements and tests for base stations that support more than one radio carrier which may be of different formats MSR is a dont care for the UE but is a big deal for the BS Most of the work to date has been in harmonizing the GERAN and 3GPP specifications MSR performance requirements and tests for single band are now largely drafted. Multi-band MSR shows up in Rel-11

Carrier Aggregation
Lack of sufficient contiguous spectrum up to 100 MHz forces use of carrier aggregation to meet peak data rate targets Able to be implemented with a mix of terminals Backward compatibility with legacy system (LTE) System scheduler operating across multiple bands Component carriers (CC) - Max 110 RB (TBD) May be able to mix different CC types Contiguous and non-contiguous CC is allowed

Carrier Aggregation
One of RAN WG4s most intense activities is in the area of creating RF requirements for specific band combinations. In theory there could be as many as 5 carriers but so far all the activity is around dual carrier combinations

Relay
Greater insight. Greater confidence. Accelerate next-generation wireless.
Basic in-channel relaying uses a relay node (RN) that receives, amplifies and then retransmits DL and UL signals to improve coverage Advanced relaying performs L2 or L3 decoding of transmissions before transmitting only what is required for the local UE
eNB

RN
Cell Edge
RN RN
Multi-hop relaying
Area of poor coverage with no cabled backhaul
OFDMA makes it possible to split a channel into UE and backhaul traffic The link budget between the eNB and relay station can be engineered to be good enough to allow MBSFN subframes to be used for backhaul of the relay traffic Main use cases: Urban/indoor for throughput or dead zone Rural for coverage

Heterogeneous Network
Greater insight. Greater confidence. Accelerate next-generation wireless.
LTE-Advanced intends to address the support needs of heterogeneous networks that combine low power nodes (such as picocells, femtocells, repeaters, and relay nodes) within a macrocell. Deployment scenarios under evaluation are detailed in TR 36.814 Annex A.
Todays cellular systems are very much centrally planned, and the addition of new nodes to the network involves expensive and time-consuming work, site visits for optimization, and other deployment challenges. One of the enhancements being considered for LTE-Advanced is the selfoptimizing network (SON). The main aspects of SON can be summarized as follows: Self configuration Self optimization Self healing Some limited SON capability was introduced in Release 8 and is being further elaborated in Release 9 and Release 10.
Home eNB
Greater insight. Greater confidence. Accelerate next-generation wireless.
The concept of Home eNB (femtocells) is not new to LTE-A In Release 8 femtocells were introduced for UMTS In Release 9 they were introduced for LTE (HeNB) In Release 9 only inbound mobility (macro to HeNB) was fully specified In Release 10 there will be further enhancements to enable HeNB to HeNB mobility This is very important for enterprise deployments
To accommodate the higher data rates of LTE-A, three new UE categories have been defined
Max. Data rate (DL / UL) (Mbps) 10 / 5 50 / 25 100 / 50 150 / 50 300 / 75 300 / 50 300 / 150 1200 / 600 Downlink Max. # DLSCH TB bits / TTI 10296 51024 102048 150752 299552 [299552] [299552] [1200000] Max. # DLSCH bits / TB / TTI 10296 51024 75376 75376 149776 [TBD] [TBD] [TBD] Total. soft channel bits 250368 1237248 1237248 1827072 3667200 [3667200] [TBD] [TBD] Max. #. spatial layers 1 2 2 2 4 Max.# ULSCH TB bits / TTI 5160 25456 51024 51024 75376 [51024 ] [150752/ 102048 (Upto RAN4)] [600000] Uplink Max. # ULSCH bits / TB / TTI 5160 25456 51024 51024 75376 [TBD] [TBD] [TBD] Support for 64QAM No No No No Yes No Yes/No (Up-to RAN4) Yes

Release 11 Prioritization
Greater insight. Greater confidence. Accelerate next-generation wireless.
Due to the high workload in 3GPP RAN, and in particular the radio group RAN WG4, a new prioritization exercise was carried out to identify the most important features Each operator was awarded seven votes per working group to be assigned to the list of possible work items Excluded from the prioritization was any work related to new bands and specified combinations for carrier aggregation. This is an independently controversial area being handled separately Work or Study Item List for LTE Release 11

LTE-A Deployment
The first question to ask when people are looking form information on LTE-A timing is which feature LTE-A, Release 10 etc. Is a large grouping of backwards-compatible features, none of which are mandatory The most likely contenders for early LTE-A deployment are: Some limited form of carrier aggregation to increase instantaneous bandwidth is particular local operator areas
