Principles on multi-carrier HSDPA Standardization

Air interface shall keep compatible with N-frequency

cell solution in CCSA TD-SCDMA stage I;
Physical layer: channel structure of HS-SCCH and HS-SICH is
same to that for single-carrier HSDPA system
MAC layer: segmentation/combining.
UE Capability: adding UE multi-carrier HSDPA capability
indicator in corresponding field.
The multi-carrier HSDPA is based on 3GPP R5
HSDPA, but the changes are limited to the
minimum.

MBMS

TDD MBMS Technology

MBMS( Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services) is an
unidirectional point to multipoint bearer service in which data
is transmitted from a single source entity to multiple
recipients.
MBMS is basically a new broadcast and multicast radio bearer
technology; it can provide high speed downlink, non-voice
services for multiple users simultaneously and regardless of
user location and radio conditions in full area coverage.

MBMS

Traditional nonMBMS results in

radio resource bottlenecks by
point-to-point transmission
method

MBMS removes radio resource

bottlenecks by point-to-multipoint
transmission method
MBMS can efficiently utilize radio
resource at air interface
MBMS can perform lower prices
due to the saving in network
resources

TDD MBMS architecture

MBMS architecture comprises four blocks: User Equipment (UE), UTRAN

(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, Core Network (including GGSN and
SGSN) and new blocks- Broadcast Multicast - Service Centre (BM-SC)
MBMS architecture enables the efficient usage of radio-network and
core-network resources, with an emphasis on radio interface efficiency

MBMS Feature over TDD Technology

-Simulcast Combining with timeslot reused

TD-SCDMA can use selective combing and soft coming, and it can
also use simulcast combining through timeslot reused technology on
its special frame structure
The complexity of UE will be increased due to combining of multiple
radio links simultaneously in UE. But, in TD-SCDMA, it can be avoided
by combining macro-diversity with timeslot reused
Timeslot reused can increase further throughput gains on the basis of
selective combining and soft combining

TD-SCDMA HSUPA key technology Efficient Scheduling

With Node B-based Packet Scheduling, two main

improves:
Cell throughput is increased by means of faster adaption to
interference variation and finer control of the total received uplink
power.
User performance is improved by means of more frequently
reallocation of radio resource to NRT users

TD-SCDMA HSUPA key technology Faster retransmission

Faster retransmission
Reaches maximum achievable cell throughput by means of
faster retransmission of erroneously received data frame to
reduce the number of RLC retransmission, since physical
channel can be operated with higher BLER for same overall
performance under this condition, which results to an increase in
spectra efficiency.

 3GPP Long-term Evolution
Target

Significantly increased peak data rate e.g. 100 Mbps (downlink) and 50 Mbps
(uplink)
Increase cell edge bitrate whilst maintaining same site locations as
deployed today
Significantly improved spectrum efficiency ( e.g. 2-4 x Rel6)
Possibility for a Radio-access network latency (user-plane UE RNC (or
corresponding node above Node B) - UE) below 10 ms
Significantly reduced C-plane latency (e.g. including the possibility to
exchange user-plane data starting from camped-state with a transition time
of less than 100 ms (excluding downlink paging delay))
Scaleable bandwidth
5, 10, 20 and possibly 15 MHz
[1.25,] 2.5 MHz: to allow flexibility in narrow spectral allocations where
the system may be deployed
Support for inter-working with existing 3G systems and non-3GPP specified
systems

25
 3GPP Long-term Evolution
Target

Further enhanced MBMS

Reduced CAPEX and OPEX including backhaul
Cost effective migration from Rel-6 UTRA radio interface and
architecture
Reasonable system and terminal complexity, cost, and power
consumption.
Support of further enhanced IMS and core network
Backwards compatibility is highly desirable, but the trade off versus
performance and/or capability enhancements should be carefully
considered.
Efficient support of the various types of services, especially from the
PS domain (e.g. Voice over IP, Presence)
System should be optimized for low mobile speed but also support
high mobile speed
Operation in paired and unpaired spectrum should not be precluded
Possibility for simplified co-existence between operators in adjacent
bands as well as cross-border co-existence
