MIMO Spatial Multiplexing (SM)


Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver MIMO uses multipath to advantage to multiply data rate Transmits different data along different paths (simplified view) MxN MIMO can multiply data rate by M or N (whichever is less) if there is enough multipath.

Best in urban high-multipath environment (and indoors) Less effective in suburban and rural low-multipath environments

Carrier aggregation is supported for both FDD and TDD, although all component carriers need to have the same duplex scheme. In the case of TDD, the uplink downlink configuration should be the same across component carriers. The special subframe configuration can be different for the different components carriers though, as long as the resulting downlinkuplink switch time is sufficiently large.

HARQ Retransmission Timing


Acknowledgement of a transport block in subframe n is transmitted in subframe n + k , where k 4 and is selected such that n + k is an uplink subframe

TTA LTE/MIMO Standards/Technology Training 51 Nokia Siemens Networks

HARQ Acknowledgement Bundling


For DL transmissions, there are some configurations where DL-SCH receipt in multiple DL
subframes needs to be acknowledged in a single UL subframe Multiplexing

Independent acknowledgements for each of the received transport blocks are fed back to the eNodeB. This allows independent retransmission of erroneous transport blocks. However, it also implies that multiple bits need to be transmitted from the terminal.

Bundling of acknowledgements
The outcome of the decoding of DL transport blocks from multiple DL subframes can be combined into a single hybrid-ARQ acknowledgement transmitted in UL. Only if both of the DL transmissions in subframes 0 and 3 in the example below are correctly decoded will a positive acknowledgement be transmitted in UL subframe 7. The downlink assignment index in the scheduling assignment on the PDCCH is used to avoid confusion

TTA LTE/MIMO Standards/Technology Training 52 Nokia Siemens Networks

UL Grant Timing
For TDD configurations 16, the uplink transmission occurs in subframe n + k , where k is the smallest value larger than or equal to 4 such that subframe n + k is an uplink
subframe.

For TDD configuration 0 there are more UL subframes than DL subframes, which calls for
the possibility to schedule transmissions in multiple UL subframes from a single DL subframe. For DL-UL configuration 0, the index field specifies which UL subframe(s) a grant received in a DL subframe applies to.

TTA LTE/MIMO Standards/Technology Training 53 Nokia Siemens Networks

Random Access
Short PRACH preamble (format 4) only for TD-LTE (to utilize UpPTS in small cells)

For TDD, multiple random-access regions can be configured in a single subframe.


The reason is the smaller number of uplink subframes per radio frame in TDD. To maintain the same random-access capacity as in FDD, frequency-domain multiplexing is sometimes necessary.
