Multiple Access DL LTE employs OFDM as the basic modulation scheme and multiple access is achieved through: •

OFDMA in the LTE Downlink • A multi-carrier signal with one data symbol per subcarrier • Scalable to wider bandwidths, multipath resilient and better suited for MIMO architecture • Drawback: Parallel transmission of multiple symbols creates undesirable high PAPR

44


Why SC-FDMA • One of the major problems with OFDMA is, that the transformation of a complex symbol (e.g. BPSK, QPSK, etc.) onto a small set of subcarriers produces a quite big ratio between the maximum power and the averaged power (PAPR = Peak-toAverage Power Ratio). • This results in requirements for expensive transmission amplifiers especially on mobile side. It is thus a major design goal to limit this effect. • Another variant of OFDMA is used to reduce the PAPR for lower RF hardware requirements. It is called SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access). • This mechanism can reduce the PAPR of 6..9 dB compared to normal OFDMA. •

45

SC-FDMA is one option in 802.16d and it is the method selected for EUTRAN in the uplink direction.


Multiple Access UL SC-OFDMA in the LTE Uplink • SC-FDMA transmits the four QPSK data symbols from a user in series at four times the rate, with each data symbol occupying N x 15 kHz bandwidth. • Signal more like single carrier with each data symbol being represented by one wide symbol • Occupied bandwidth same as OFDMA but crucially, the PAPR is the same as that used for original data symbol

46


Slot Structure and Physical Resources • Resource Grid (RG) • Consisting of subcarriers and symbols in frequency and time domain, respectively. One subcarrier =15 kHz

• Resource Element (RE) • 1 subcarrier X 1 modulated symbol

• Resource Block (RB\PRB) • 12 subcarriers over a slot duration of 0.5 ms. • One subcarrier =15 kHz, thus 180 kHz per RB.

Reuse of the Guard Period  There is the possibility to use the lost transmission time during the Guard Period by repeating part of the symbol during this period.

 Cyclic Prefix (CP): The cyclic prefix is filling the final part of the guard period. It simply consists of the last part of the following symbol.

 To each OFDM symbol, a cyclic prefix (CP) is appended as guard time

depending on whether extended or normal cyclic prefix is configured. The extended cyclic prefix is able to cover larger cell sizes with higher delay spread of the radio channel. Tcp

FDD Frame Structures DL... Type1-FDD-Downlink DL Broadcast & Synchronization Channels • PBCH is transmitted on 4 OFDM symbols in the 1st downlink subframe spanning over the central 6 RBs • REs reserved for DLRS cannot be used by PBCH • P-SCH and S-SCH are transmitted using a single OFDM symbol each, in the 1st and 6th downlink subframe spanning over the central 6 RBs • P-SCH and S-SCH REs do not overlap with the REs reserved for DLRS • Transmission over central 6 RBs ensures detectability without the UE\Terminal having the prior knowledge of the whole system bandwidth

FDD Frame Structures UL Type1-FDD- Uplink UL Control Channel • PUCCH transmission in one subframe is compromised of single PRB at or near one edge of the system bandwidth followed by a second PRB at or near the opposite edge of the bandwidth • PUCCH regions depends on the system bandwidth. Typical values are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 for 1.4, 3, 5, 10 and 20 MHz UL Signals(S-RS & DM RS) • S-RS estimates the channel quality required for the UL frequency-selective scheduling and transmitted on 1 symbol in each subframe • DM-RS is associated with the transmission of UL data on the PUSCH and\or control signalling on the PUCCH • mainly used for channel estimation for coherent demodulation • transmitted on 2 symbols in each subframe 61

Interference Co-ordination Schemes To minimize Intercell Interference following frequency reuse schemes are being considered Frequency Reuse-1 with Prioritization • Each sector divides the available bandwidth into prioritized (one third) and nonprioritized (two third) sections disregard of CE or CC. • Prioritized spectrum is used more often than non-prioritized by each sector in order to concentrate the interference that it causes to other sectors

80


Interference Co-ordination Schemes Soft Frequency Reuse • Power difference between the prioritized and non-prioritized spectrum which divides the sector into an inner and an outer region • User in the inner region can be reached with reduced power, i.e. Cell Centre Users (CCU) than the users in the outer region i.e. Cell Edge Users (CEU) • CCU are assigned frequency Reuse-1 while CEU employ Reuse-3 with soft reuse

81


Interference Coordination Schemes Reuse Partitioning • Similar to Soft Frequency Reuse • High-power part is divided between sectors so that each sector gets one third of the highpower spectrum • Low-power part employs frequency Reuse-1 while high-power part is configured with a frequency Reuse-3 with hard reuse.

MIMO - Transmit Diversity Instead of increasing data rate or capacity, MIMO can be used to exploit diversity and increase the robustness of data transmission. Each transmit antenna transmits essentially the same stream of data, so the receiver gets replicas of the same signal.

• each reference signal corresponds to one antenna port

• DL transmission modes are defined for PDSCH (Data\Traffic) • Single antenna (No MIMO)

• Transmit diversity • Open loop Spatial multiplexing

SU-MIMO

• Closed loop spatial multiplexing • Multi user MIMO

• Closed-loop precoding for Rank=1 (No spatial Mux, But precode) • Conventional beamforming • UL MIMO Modes • Transmit diversity

• Receive Diversity • MU-MIMO 86


SU-MIMO • This includes conventional techniques such as • Cyclic Delay Diversity • Transmit\Receive diversity (Space frequency block codes)

• Spatial Multiplexing\ Precoded Spatial Multiplexing • Can be implemented as Open and Closed loop • Diversity techniques improves the signal to interference ratio by transmitting same stream of single user data. • Spatial multiplexing increases the per user data rate\throughput by transmitting multiple streams of data dedicated for a single user

87


MU-MIMO • Multiple users (separated in the spatial domain in both UL and DL) sharing the same time-frequency resources • Uses multiple narrow beams to separate users in the spatial domain and can be considered as a hybrid of beamforming and spatial multiplexing. • Serves more terminals by scheduling multiple terminals using the same resources • this increases the cell capacity and number of served terminals • Suitable for highly loaded cells and for scenarios where number of served terminals is more important than peak user data rates

Templates for Sites When planning a network, Instead of setting the parameter values on each node individually, you can define templates, then select one of these templates as a basis for adding new nodes. The new nodes will then contain the default characteristics of the template.

92


Adding Sites/Cells  You can add network elements by using the site

design toolbar in the Map View window and also by using the Site Database window.

 You need the correct privileges to be able to add

and modify network elements. Contact your administrator if you do not have the correct permissions

Scheduler Scheduler Round Robin

Proportional Fair

Proportional Demand

Max SINR

96

Description The aim of this Scheduler is to share the available/unused resources equally among the terminals (that are requesting RT services) in order to satisfy their RT-MBR demand. This is a recursive algorithm and continues to share resources equally among terminals, until all RTMBR demands have been met or there are no more resources left to allocate. The aim of this Scheduler is to allocate the available/unused resources as fairly as possible in such a way that, on average, each terminal gets the highest possible throughput achievable under the channel conditions. This is a recursive algorithm. The available/unused resources are shared between the RT terminals in proportion to the bearer data rates of the terminals. Terminals with higher data rates get a larger share of the available resources. Each terminal gets either the resources it needs to satisfy its RTMBR demand, or its weighted portion of the available/unused resources, whichever is smaller. This recursive allocation process continues until all RT-MBR demands have been met or there are no more resources left to allocate. The aim of this Scheduler is to allocate the available/unused resources in proportion to the RT-MBR demand, which means that terminals with higher RT-MBR demand achieve higher throughputs than terminals with lower RT-MBR demand. This is a non-recursive resource allocation process and results in either satisfying the RT-MBR demands of all terminals or the consumption of all of the available/unused resources. The aim of this Scheduler is to maximise the terminal throughput and in turn the average cell throughput. This is a non-recursive resource allocation process where terminals with higher bearer rates (and consequently higher SINR) are preferred over terminals with low bearer rates (and consequently lower SINR). This means that resources are allocated first to those terminals with better SINR/channel conditions than others, thereby maximising the throughput. © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

Filters in Enterprise Filters provide a logical grouping of network elements according to their characteristics or functions. They enable you to sub-divide the network into more manageable sections for analysis, diagnosis and display.

 Static Filters

 Static lists of objects specified by the user

 Dynamic Filters

 The included objects will constantly update as he Network evolves.

105


Use of Filters  Limit the list of network elements displayed in the Site Database  Determine which network elements appear in the Map View  Allow customised appearance of different filters in the Map View  Control which items are to be included in the various wizards  Selects items to be included in any global edits in the Site DB  Limit which items to include in the various reports

106

107


Selection Filter and Selection Expert Selection Filter

 Is a static filter that exists only in memory. It is not stored in the database and therefore cannot be Applied or Committed.

 Can be renamed and saved as a normal static filter. Selection Expert

 Allow populate selection filter by choosing elements individually in the Site Database or Map View, or by creating in the Map View a polygonal, circular or rectangular area that contains the sites you want.

 Acts as a handy clipboard - to easily allow you to cut and paste

network elements between different parents cells between sites and so on.

 Acts as a viewing window for all filters - you can quickly review all filters, and edit the static and Selection filters.

Configuring bearers Configuring services Configuring terminal types Setting clutter parameters Creating traffic rasters


Traffic Parameters for LTE When you are satisfied with your network's coverage performance, you are in a position to consider traffic modelling in your network.

In modern cellular networks, there are different types of subscribers with different profiles, and different types of mobile terminals with different properties. In addition, multiple services can be offered to the subscriber. These may include voice, data and multimedia services. When planning such a network, you must account for the different properties of these services, such as different costs, data rates and other requirements such as quality of service. In ASSET, you can account for this by defining bearers, services, and terminal types

129


Default LTE Bearers Bearers represent the air interface connections, performing the task of transporting voice and data information between cells and terminal types.

Clutter Parameters You can define different shadow fading standard deviations for outdoor terminals and indoor terminals per clutter type. If a building is in urban, it will encounter greater fading than in parkland. You can also specify different indoor losses for each clutter type.

134


Terminal Types ASSET models traffic demand by generating traffic density maps for the different types of terminal. These density maps define the amount of traffic offered to the network by each type of terminal on a pixel-bypixel basis, corresponding to the available clutter map data resolutions. A Terminal Type in ASSET defines these key characteristics:

 How much ‘traffic’ will the terminal type generate in total?  How will the ‘traffic’ be spread geographically?  What is the expected mobile speed distribution for this terminal type?

 Which service will the terminal type provide?*  What are the mobile equipment characteristics?

Traffic Rasters Traffic Rasters are arrays that store the distribution of traffic over an area. They can be created either from the information in the Terminal Types or from imported Live Traffic values. The name of the created traffic raster will be the same as the name of the terminal type. The Traffic Rasters enables you to:

 Obtain initial estimates of the equipment and configuration needed

for a nominal network. By visualising the array, you can then gain a good idea of where to locate your sites.

 Can assess how your network performs in terms of capacity for a

mature network. Can verify site configuration is sufficient to match the traffic spread over the network.

Add/Remove Neighbours with a File List You can set up neighbours in ASSET by means of an XML import. Another way is use of a Comma Separated Value (*.csv) file. All neighbour relationships specified in the file must be outward. Neighbour relationships which have been set to a protection state of 'Y' will be prevented from being removed.

147


Auto Neighbour Planning Wizards ASSET’s automatic Neighbour Planning Wizards enable you to generate neighbour relations between cells of the same (or different) technologies and carriers according to a wide range of user-specified parameters. There are two neighbour wizards available:

 Prediction-based  Measurement-based (license based)  Event Based

148


Auto Wizard Algorithm The algorithm takes place in two discrete stages:

 A 'search area' is established for each source cell, identifying the pixels to be included.

 The prediction-based wizard bases this on a combination of hysteresis margin and signal and/or quality thresholds.

 The measurement-based wizard bases this on a combination of measurement thresholds

How the Simulator assess network performance Setting up and running the Simulator Viewing the Arrays and Reports Saving and Loading Simulation Data Using the Pixel Analyser


Monte Carlo-based Simulation When simulating network performance, ASSET uses Monte Carlo algorithms, which can provide a good balance between accuracy and usability.

The Simulator can be used as Full simulation, with randomised snapshots or Simulation without snapshots. With the full simulation, the performance of the network can be analysed over a series of randomised snapshots, in which specified densities of user terminals are positioned in statistically determined locations. The ability of each terminal to make its connection to the network is calculated through an iterative process. The performance of the network is then analysed from the averaged results.

169


Simulation with Snapshots

170



Takes a large number of randomised snapshots of network performance for different terminals over time



In these snapshots, the UEs are in statistically determined positions and generated independently for each snapshot


Simulation with Snapshots

171



Terminal count in a pixel is determined using a Poisson distribution with a mean given by the number of terminals in the traffic array



At the start of the snapshot the mobile and cell powers are initialised to zero to initialise the noise on the uplink and downlink



Other parameters such as power control error are set randomly on UE



The first terminal in the list is tested for failure conditions. If it does not fail, then its Tx power, and the Tx power of the cells to which it is connected, are modified. The next terminal in the list is then tested for failure conditions and so on



When the entire list has been tested, the simulator returns to the first terminal and repeats the process until convergence is reached



When convergence is reached, the results of the snapshot are appended to the results of the overall simulation. The simulation moves on to the next snapshot



When the simulation has completed all the specified snapshots, you can view your results using the arrays or view a summary of the data or reports © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

UMTS Simulator Wizard

172


Simulation without Snapshots If you run a simulation without running snapshots (static analysis) you must ensure that the cell loading parameters for the cells/sectors have been specified in the Site Database. The parameters are set on the Cell Load Levels subtab under LTE Params tab.

173


Simulator Outputs ASSET provides ways of setting your own array definitions, so that you can specify exactly which arrays you want to be output when you use the Simulator. The easiest way is to use the Auto Setup option. This ensures that all the relevant array types and their parameter combinations are included in the simulation outputs for display and analysis.

You can also define your own customised collection of output array types from the Simulator. This enables you to specify array definitions to determine precisely which arrays you want to output and display, in any combination of parameters you choose. This method is probably only beneficial for advanced users.

•

Terminal Info: Failure Rate

Line-of-Sight array and improved MIMO Modelling

187



AIRCOM Enhanced Macrocell model (as well as some 3rd party prediction models – complete list TBD) have the ability to produce line-of-sight (LOS) information for each predicted location, in addition to the existing pathloss value.



Using LOS info in a simulation can be used to improve MIMO modelling.



MIMO schemes rely on there being a low correlation between the signal paths to the receive elements of an antenna. Locations that have line-of-sight to an antenna are more likely to have high correlation between signal paths to the antenna.



The LTE simulator supports 3 basic MIMO schemes: SU-MIMO Multiplexing, SU-MIMO Diversity, and MU-MIMO. A new page is added to the LTE simulation wizard, providing the user with the option of enabling/disabling these 3 MIMO schemes in LOS regions.



If a prediction model is used that does not generate LOS info, then the sim will treat pathlosses from that model as non-LOS. © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd
