Abstract TDLTE is deployed in the same frequency band to improve spectral usage, which also makes the
intercell interference (ICI) become one of the main bottlenecks of the network capacity. The test results of the large
scale TDLTE field trial demonstrate more than 70% UE could detect signals from multiple cells. The coordinated
multipoint processing (CoMP) technology adopts several cell to jointly transmit/receive signals for UE, which could
effectively reduce ICI. Several kinds of uplink CoMP scheme were studied. Especially, the field trial of the uplink
CoMP in the realistic TDLTE network was introduced. The test results show that the celledge UE could achieve
50%~100% throughput gain via the uplink CoMP technology, which significantly improves the user experience.
Key words: TDLTE, intercell interference, uplink coordinated multipoint processing
