There are seven subframe allocation ratios (allocations 0 to 6). The ratio of subframes allocated
for the uplink and downlink can be adjusted according to the service type to meet the
requirements of asymmetrical services and maximize the spectrum efficiency.
To reduce the network overhead, DwPTS can be used as a PCFICH, PDCCH, PHICH, PDSCH,
and P-SCH for transmission, while UpPTS can be used to transmit sounding RS and PRACH
preamble.

Guarantee that uplink signals from different UEs which are far away from the eNB’s
antenna are aligned on the air interface of eNodeB.
Provide an uplink-and-downlink conversion time (There is a very short conversion time Tud
(less than 20 µs) in the conversion from the uplink to the downlink of eNodeB).
The length of GP determines the eNB’s cell radius. The maximum cell radius supported by
TD-LTE is 100 km.
Avoid uplink/downlink interference between eNodeBs.

TDD
#0 #5
FDD
For TD-LTE and LTE-FDD, the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary
synchronization signal (SSS) are generated in the same way and they transfers the same
information.
In the subframe structures of TD-LTE and LTE-FDD, the relative positions of synchronization
signals are different. In the TDD subframe structure, the P-SCH is located at the third symbol
in the DwPTS, while the S-SCH is located at the last symbol in the first and sixth subframes.
According to the different relative positions of the PSS and SSS, the UE can distinguish
between FDD cell and TDD cell at the initial stage of cell search.
TDD
For LTE-FDD, the receive channel and transmit channel operate at different bands
and a duplexer (equivalent to two filters) is required to separate the receive and
transmit channels; however, about 1dB insertion loss will be brought about,.
For TD-LTE, the receive and transmit channels work in different time at the same
band. Therefore, a T/R converter is required to connect the receive and transmit
channels of the RRU to the antenna feeder system in different time segments. about
2- to 2.5-dB insertion loss will be brought about, however. In addition, a delay will be
brought about to the system owing to the conversion delay of the T/R converter.
C-RS
U-RS
Uplink reference signals are classified into demodulation reference signals (DM RSs)
and sounding reference signals (SRSs).
DM RS
DM RSs are transferred on a PUSCH or PUCCH and can reflect the quality of the
uplink channel in real time.
SRS
SRSs are not transferred on a PUSCH or PUCCH.
Difference
LTE-FDD: SRSs are transferred only in an ordinary subframe.
TD-LTE: In consideration of the improvement of the spectral efficiency, SRSs can be
transferred in an ordinary subframe or UpPTS subframe.

Different configuration in TDD - LTE has different uplink signal feedback.(Such as HARQ

For the same power(2*20), TD-LTE cell radius is much smaller than LTE FDD because:
The PUSCH is the bottleneck of LTE. The DL and UL transmission in are time division,
so to achieve the same edge throughput as LTE FDD, TD-LTE needs to use more RB
resources on the UL, then the power on each RB is less than that of LTE FDD.
Therefore the TD-LTE offers less coverage than LTE FDD
TD-LTE noise figure is about 1.5dB more than LTE FDD
Principles:
LTE TDD and FDD share the same protocol above PHY layer and
similar PHY layer fundamental characteristics
LTE TDD and FDD are different in synchronization scheme, which
makes different duplex schemes and frame types
