November 2012 | LTE and Beyond – LTE Advanced | 28

LTE positioningPhysical layer aspects

l Positioning using a method based on time measurementsrequires that the timing of at least three geographicallydispersed base stations is measured.l In practice it is favorable to be able to measure, say, five base

stations, since the three strongest sites don’t necessarily provide agood geometry for position determination.

l 3GPP concluded that cell-specific reference signals (CS-RS)are not sufficient to provide required accuracy ofpositioning.l Hence, new positioning reference signals (PRS) were defined.

LTE positioningPositioning Reference Signals (PRS)

l Introduction of positioning reference signals (PRS) for antennaport 6.

l PRS is a pseudo-random QPSK sequence similar to CS-RS.l Diagonal pattern with time varying frequency shift.l PRS mapped around CS-RS (to avoid collisions).

l Cross carrier scheduling is optional to a UE.l Activated by RRC signaling, if not activated no CFI is present.l Component carriers are numbered, Primary Component Carrier (PCC)

is always cell index 0.l Scheduling on a component carrier is only possible from ONE

component, independent if cross-carrier scheduling is ON or OFF:

enhanced InterCell InterferenceCoordinationHeterogeneous Networksl Within Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) deployments, intercell interference

becomes even more critical due to different base station transmit powersused in different cell layers (e.g. macro and pico cells).

l LTE Rel10 (LTE-A) extends ICIC to the time domain by applying so-calledABS (Almost Blank Subframes).

– Transmission of PSS/SSS/PBCH/Paging maintained with associated PDCCH for SIB1 and Paging, allrequired for legacy Rel 8 UEs.

l Additionally allows UEs to stay connected with cells with low SINR, which requires toimplement interference cancellation techniques at the UE. Effectively increases range ofpico cells.

What’s behind “Enhanced SC-FDMA”?l On top of 3GPP Release 8 principles: Allow simultaneous

transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH; dynamic switch ispossible,l Improve uplink spectral efficiency as required by IMT-Advanced,

– 7%...23% improvement taking no impairments (intermodulation, errors inchannel estimation or power control) into account, still 2%...13% doing so,

l Avoid new mechanism of multiplexing control information and data,while utilizing for example:– Higher-order MIMO (up to 8x8) in the downlink,– Asymmetric carrier aggregation (e.g. 2 DL, 1 UL),

l More efficient resource (bandwidth) utilization,– Worst case scenario shows that up to 66% of PUSCH bandwidth might be

used for uplink control information (UCI),l Reliable control information, control information to non-serving cells,

l Frequency-selective transmission/scheduling (multi-cluster),l Referred to as clustered DFT-spread-OFDM, instead of localized SC-

FDMA.

November 2012 | LTE and Beyond – LTE Advanced | 67

LTE-Advanced Feature ReviewR&S Opinion

l Carrier aggregation is obviously one of the priority features withinLTE-Advancedl High number of specific band combinations now worked on in 3GPPl Not only increasing peak data rate, but also adding flexibility in resource

allocationl However implementation effort @ UE side to be considered even with

restriction to 1 Tx UL onlyl MIMO schemes

l More than 4x2 (FDD) and 8x2 (TDD) in DL and 2x2 in UL not visible short oreven mid term when it comes to commercial equipment (specifically UE)

l However 8x8 MIMO implemented in demo systems (infrastructuremanufacturers and operators).

l eICIC and Enhanced UL scheme less impact on R&S portfolio,however also important subjects to be implemented

l Relaying depends on individual operator strategies
