  • CDMA2000 and UMB are described in documents from the 3GPP2 organization. The actual wireless communication standard and the multiple access technology employed will depend on the specific application and the overall design constraints imposed on the system.
  • the eNBs 204 may have multiple antennas supporting MIMO technology.
  • MIMO technology enables the eNBs 204 to exploit the spatial domain to support spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and transmit diversity.
  • Spatial multiplexing may be used to transmit different streams of data simultaneously on the same frequency.
  • the data steams may be transmitted to a single UE 206 to increase the data rate or to multiple UEs 206 to increase the overall system capacity. This is achieved by spatially precoding each data stream (i.e., applying a scaling of an amplitude and a phase) and then transmitting each spatially precoded stream through multiple transmit antennas on the DL.
  • the spatially precoded data streams arrive at the UE(s) 206 with different spatial signatures, which enables each of the UE(s) 206 to recover the one or more data streams destined for that UE 206 .
  • each UE 206 transmits a spatially precoded data stream, which enables the eNB 204 to identify the source of each spatially precoded data stream.
  • Beamforming may be used to focus the transmission energy in one or more directions. This may be achieved by spatially precoding the data for transmission through multiple antennas. To achieve good coverage at the edges of the cell, a single stream beamforming transmission may be used in combination with transmit diversity.
  • OFDM is a spread-spectrum technique that modulates data over a number of subcarriers within an OFDM symbol.
  • the subcarriers are spaced apart at precise frequencies. The spacing provides “orthogonality” that enables a receiver to recover the data from the subcarriers.

  • PAPR peak-to-average power ratio
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram 300 illustrating an example of a DL frame structure in LTE.
  • a frame (10 ms) may be divided into 10 equally sized sub-frames. Each sub-frame may include two consecutive time slots.
  • a resource grid may be used to represent two time slots, each time slot including a resource block.
  • the resource grid is divided into multiple resource elements.
  • a resource block contains 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain and, for a normal cyclic prefix in each OFDM symbol, 7 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain, or 84 resource elements.
  • For an extended cyclic prefix a resource block contains 6 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and has 72 resource elements.
  • the DL-RS include Cell-specific RS (CRS) (also sometimes called common RS) 302 and UE-specific RS (UE-RS) 304 .
  • UE-RS 304 are transmitted only on the resource blocks upon which the corresponding physical DL shared channel (PDSCH) is mapped.
  • PDSCH physical DL shared channel
  • the number of bits carried by each resource element depends on the modulation scheme. Thus, the more resource blocks that a UE receives and the higher the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate for the UE.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram 400 illustrating an example of an UL frame structure in LTE.
  • the available resource blocks for the UL may be partitioned into a data section and a control section.
  • the control section may be formed at the two edges of the system bandwidth and may have a configurable size.
  • the resource blocks in the control section may be assigned to UEs for transmission of control information.
  • the data section may include all resource blocks not included in the control section.
  • the UL frame structure results in the data section including contiguous subcarriers, which may allow a single UE to be assigned all of the contiguous subcarriers in the data section.
  • a UE may be assigned resource blocks 410 a , 410 b in the control section to transmit control information to an eNB.
  • the UE may also be assigned resource blocks 420 a , 420 b in the data section to transmit data to the eNB.
  • the UE may transmit control information in a physical UL control channel (PUCCH) on the assigned resource blocks in the control section.
  • the UE may transmit only data or both data and control information in a physical UL shared channel (PUSCH) on the assigned resource blocks in the data section.
  • a UL transmission may span both slots of a subframe and may hop across frequency.
  • a set of resource blocks may be used to perform initial system access and achieve UL synchronization in a physical random access channel (PRACH) 430 .
  • the PRACH 430 carries a random sequence and cannot carry any UL data/signaling.
  • Each random access preamble occupies a bandwidth corresponding to six consecutive resource blocks.
  • the starting frequency is specified by the network. That is, the transmission of the random access preamble is restricted to certain time and frequency resources. There is no frequency hopping for the PRACH.
  • the PRACH attempt is carried in a single subframe (1 ms) or in a sequence of few contiguous subframes and a UE can make only a single PRACH attempt per frame (10 ms).
  • FIG. 5 is a diagram 500 illustrating an example of a radio protocol architecture for the user and control planes in LTE.
  • the radio protocol architecture for the UE and the eNB is shown with three layers: Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3.
  • Layer 1 (L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various physical layer signal processing functions.
  • the L1 layer will be referred to herein as the physical layer 506 .
  • Layer 2 (L2 layer) 508 is above the physical layer 506 and is responsible for the link between the UE and eNB over the physical layer 506 .
  • the L2 layer 508 includes a media access control (MAC) sublayer 510 , a radio link control (RLC) sublayer 512 , and a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) 514 sublayer, which are terminated at the eNB on the network side.
  • MAC media access control
  • RLC radio link control
  • PDCP packet data convergence protocol
  • the UE may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 508 including a network layer (e.g., IP layer) that is terminated at the PDN gateway 118 on the network side, and an application layer that is terminated at the other end of the connection (e.g., far end UE, server, etc.).
  • IP layer e.g., IP layer
  • the PDCP sublayer 514 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels.
  • the PDCP sublayer 514 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead, security by ciphering the data packets, and handover support for UEs between eNBs.
