LTE Air Interface
Overview
The LTE air interface uses
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for the downlink
and
Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) for the uplink.
It supports both
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)
FDD requires paired frequencies, one for downlink and one for uplink,
and
Time Division Duplex (TDD) air interface schemes.
while TDD shares the same frequency for downlink and uplink.

OFDM
A
OFDMA extends the OFDM transmission scheme by allowing multiple users.
It allows for simultaneous frequency-separated transmissions to / from multiple
mobile terminals.
In OFDM the user data is transmitted in parallel across multiple orthogonal
narrowband subcarriers.
OFDMA is a digital encoding and modulation technique.
Information is transported over an OFDMA channel via a sequence of symbols
over a set of subcarriers.
The channel bandwidth is divided into equally-spaced subcarriers.
The equal spacing of orthogonal subcarriers is designed to minimize interference
between adjacent subcarriers.
In Compliance with ISO 9001 | Cost effective | Quality | Training | IT Infrastructure Services
OFDM
A
The orthogonal subcarriers are generated with Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) processing.
The number of subcarriers depends on the available bandwidth

The spacing between subcarriers is fixed in LTE and equivalent to 15 kHz in the
frequency domain.

Cyclic Prefix Principle
Ts : Total Symbol Period

Guard Time
Cyclic prefixes are way of fighting the Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) that may occur
in multipath environments where transmitted signals arrive at the receiver with
different delays.
CP consists of a copy of the last part of a symbol shape for the duration of a guard
time and adding it to the beginning of the symbol.
This guard time needs to be long enough to capture all the delayed multipath signals
and avoid ISI at the receiver
CP is used by the receiver to detect the start of symbol due to the high correlation
between the CP and the last part of the symbol that precedes.
After this, the receiver can start with the decoding.
In Compliance with ISO 9001 | Cost effective | Quality | Training | IT Infrastructure Services
Cyclic Prefix Principle
The reason for these two different lengths is that the slot duration is 0.5ms, which makes it
easier for the terminal to find the starting point of the slot.
Extended cyclic prefix: For use in large cells or those with long delay profiles.
Its length is 16.67s. It is constant for all symbols in the slot.

OFDM
A
Drawbacks of OFDMA
The main disadvantage of OFDM/OFDMA is that the signal has a relatively large Peak to-
Average Power Ratio (PAPR). This is due to the nature of OFMA, where modulated symbols are
transmitted in parallel, each containing a part of the transmission.
The power at a certain point in time is the sum of the powers of all the transmitted symbols for a
certain connection, and
Therefore the differences between peak and average powers can be high.
This reduces the power efficiency of the RF amplifier.

LTE UL PHY Layer (SC-
FDMA)
Has similar performance and essentially the same overall structure as those of OFDMA
Has low PAPR because of its inherent single carrier transmitter structure.
PAPR greatly benefits the mobile terminal in terms of transmit power efficiency.
In Compliance with ISO 9001 | Cost effective | Quality | Training | IT Infrastructure Services
SC-FDMA
Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access is the technology chosen for the uplink air
interface because it does not suffer from high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) as OFDMA.
SC-FDMA is a more power efficient variation of OFDMA that still employs subcarriers, FFT, cyclic
prefix, and other OFDM concepts.

SC-FDMA
The main difference is that in the case of SC-FDMA there is additional processing before the IFFT:
The modulated symbols are fed to the FFT processing.
The outputs are the frequency components of the modulation symbols.
Those frequency components are mapped to the allocated inputs of the IFFT and from there, the
normal OFDM processing continues.
The FFT output size is smaller than the IFFT input size.
This is because the granted UL resources to one UE cannot exceed the total resources in the cell.
Multiple UEs can be allocated in uplink, each one using different (groups of) subcarriers.

SC-FDMA
The additional FFT processing block in SC-FDMA spreads the information of each bit over all
the sub-carriers
In an SC-FDMA signal, each subcarrier used for transmission contains information about all
transmitted modulation symbols (thus 'single carrier' name)
Input data stream has been spread by the FFT transform over the available subcarriers.

Physical Resource Block & Resource Element
A Physical Resource Block (PRB) or Resource Block (RB) is the physical resource used
for transmission.
Capacity allocation in LTE is based on Physical Resource Blocks.
A PRB is composed of 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain per 1 slot period (0.5 ms)
in time domain.
Since each subcarrier occupies 15 kHz, a PRB occupies 180 kHz
(12 x 15 kHz) in the frequency domain.
A different concept is the scheduling resource block that is composed of two Physical
Resource Blocks (1 ms duration) since the scheduling is done per 1 ms (TTI duration)

By 3GPP LTE requirements:
certain bandwidths are specified : 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20MHz.
The physical layer specification allows a downlink carrier to consist of any
number of a minimum of 6 resource blocks up to a maximum of 100.
several users can be allocated per time period.

Downlink Reference Signals
Reference signals are used for channel estimation (signal quality and strength)
Three types of reference signals defined in downlink for LTE: cell-specific, UE specific and Multicast
Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN).
They are transmitted in every downlink sub frame spanning across the whole downlink cell
bandwidth.
They are modulated to identify the cell to which they belong.
The position of the reference signals in the time domain is fixed (symbols 0 and 4 for the FDD
frame), and in the frequency domain it depends on the Cell ID.
each reference signal occupies one resource element
Distributing the reference signals in both time and frequency domains allows the UE to complete the
channel estimation in both domains.

LTE Air Interface
EUTRAN uses OFDM with 2048 subcarriers with a spacing of 15 kHz.
Not all 2048 subcarriers are for use, the subcarriers at the edges must be left free as
guard bands against interference from other systems.
A single cell of EUTRAN uses at least 72 subcarriers and maximum 1320 subcarriers.
This corresponds to bandwidths from 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz,10 MHz, 15MHZ and up to
20 MHz.
