UDP: User Datagram Protocol ( L4 Transport Layer) . Similar to TCP but only provides connectionless service.

SCTP: Stream Control Transmission Protocol. For IP signalling. Ensures reliable, insequence transport of messages with congestion control Similar to TCP but with advantages: Multi-homing support, where one (or both) endpoints of a connection can consist of more than one IP address, enabling transparent fail-over between redundant network paths. Transaction-oriented, it transports data in one or more messages instead of in byte streams ( TCP) GTP: GPRS Tunnelling Protocol ( same as for UMTS Rel 99): user plane traffic

Downlink Normal Cyclic Prefix considered and 10MHz BW Following overheads not reduced: CRC, L2/L3 headers, IP headers Following overheads reduced Synchronization, reference, PBCH, PCFICH, PHICH and 1 PDCCH symbol Relative overheads Reference symbol overhead 9.5% with 2x2 MIMO PDCCH overhead 4.76% with single symbol (two symbols with 1.4 MHz)(12*Numpdcch symbol-4*RS)/(12*7*2subframes) Other overheads <1% with 10 MHz bandwidth UPLINK Following overheads not reduced: CRC, L2/L3 headers, IP headers Following overheads reduced 1 symbol for reference symbol 1 resource block for PUCCH Relative overheads Reference symbol overhead 14.3% PUCCH overhead =2/50 (or best case 1/50)= 4% or (2%) RACH overhead = (not present in peak?)= 6 * 84 /(2*84*50*10)=0.6% When calculating peak rate is it considering that only factors of 2, 3 or 5 can be assigned in the UL? VIRTUAL MIMO: (multi user MIMO) 2 UEs with 1Tx antenna each can communicate with an eNodeB simultaneously using the same resource blocks simultaneously ( A way for operators to increase capacity). As UEs are assumed to be physically distant from each other the resulting combined transmissions arrive at the eNodeB as multipath and can be processed in the same way as separate MIMO streams. It doubles capacity of the UL.
