3GPP release 7 study item
“Evolved UTRA and UTRAN” in
December 2004:
“With enhancements such as HSDPA and Enhanced Uplink, the 3GPP radio-access technology will be highly competitive for several years. However, to ensure
competitiveness in an even longer time frame, i.e. for the next 10 years and beyond, a long term
evolution of the 3GPP radio-access technology needs to be
considered.”

S1 33LTE / SAE
• LTE has been designed to support only packet switched services, in contrast to the circuit-switched model of previous cellular systems.
• LTE aims to provide seamless Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity between User Equipment (UE) and the Packet Data Network (PDN), without any disruption to the end users applications during mobility.
• The term ‘LTE’ encompasses the evolution of the radio access through the Evolved-UTRAN(E-UTRAN), it is accompanied by an evolution of the non-radio aspects under the term ‘System Architecture Evolution’ (SAE) which includes the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network. Together LTE and SAE comprise the Evolved Packet System (EPS).
EPS = EPC + E-UTRAN
System Architecture Evolution
• SAE is a study within 3GPP targeting at the evolution of the
overall system architecture.
• Objective is “to develop a framework for an evolution or
migration of the 3GPP system to :
– a higher-data-rate, – lower-latency,
– packet optimized system
that supports multiple radio access technologies.
• The focus of this work is on the PS domain with the
assumption that voice services are supported in this domain".
This study includes the vision of an all-IP network.
Why LTE/SAE?
• Packet Switched data is becoming more and more dominant • VoIP is the most efficient method to transfer voice data
Need for PS optimised system
• Amount of data is continuously growing Need for higher data rates at lower cost
• Users demand better quality to accept new services High quality needs to be quaranteed
>
Alternative solution for non-3GPP technologies (WiMAX)
needed
>
LTE will enhance the system to satisfy these requirements.

E-UTRAN EPC
UE, E-UTRAN and EPC together represent the Internet Protocol (IP) Connectivity Layer. This part of the system is also called the Evolved Packet System (EPS).
The main function of this layer is to provide IP based connectivity, and it is highly optimized for that purpose only.
All services will be offered on top of IP, and circuit switched nodes and interfaces seen in earlier 3GPP architectures are not present in E-UTRAN and EPC at all.
IP technologies are also dominant in the transport, where everything is designed to be operated on top of IP transport. eNB UE S-GW P-GW MME Operator’s IP Services (e.g. IMS, PSS, etc,) LTE-Uu SGi Rx Gx S5 / S8 S6a S1-MME S1-U 40
System architecture for E-UTRAN only network
Services
• The IP Multimedia Sub-System (IMS) is a good example of service machinery that can be used in the Services Connectivity Layer to
provide services on top of the IP connectivity provided by the lower layers.
• For example, to support the voice service, IMS can provide Voice over IP (VoIP) and
interconnectivity to legacy circuit switched networks PSTN and
ISDN through Media Gateways it controls.
Video
Why IMS?
EPC
• Functionally the EPC is equivalent to the packet switched domain of the existing 3GPP networks. • Significant changes in the arrangement of functions
and most nodes and the architecture in this part should be considered to be completely new. • SAE GW represents the combination of the two
gateways, Serving Gateway (S-GW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) defined for the UP
handling in EPC.
• Implementing them together as the SAE GW
represents one possible deployment scenario, but the standards define the interface between them, and all operations have also been specified for when they are separate.
• The Basic System Architecture Configuration and its functionality are documented in 3GPP TS 23.401. • We will learn the operation when the S5/S8
interface uses the GTP protocol. However, when the S5/S8 interface uses PMIP, the functionality for these interfaces is slightly different, and the Gxc interface also is needed between the Policy and Charging Resource Function (PCRF) and S-GW. One of the big architectural changes in the
core network area is that the EPC does not contain a circuit switched domain, and no direct connectivity to traditional circuit switched networks such as ISDN or PSTN is needed in this layer.
E-UTRAN
• The development in E-UTRAN is concentrated on one node, the evolved Node B (eNodeB).
• All radio functionality is collapsed there, i.e. the eNodeB is the
termination point for all radio related protocols.
• As a network, E-UTRAN is simply a mesh of eNodeBs connected to neighbouring eNodeBs with the X2 interface.
User Equipment
• UE is the device that the end user uses for communication.
• Typically it is a hand held device such as a smart phone or a data card such as those used
currently in 2G and 3G, or it could be embedded, e.g. to a laptop.
• UE also contains the Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) that is a separate module from the rest of the UE, which is often called the Terminal Equipment (TE).
• USIM is an application placed into a removable smart card called the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).
• USIM is used to identify and authenticate the user and to derive security keys for protecting the radio interface transmission.
• Maybe most importantly, the UE provides the user interface to the end user so that
applications such as a VoIP client can be used to set up a voice call.
Functionally the UE is a platform for communication applications, which signal with the network for setting up, maintaining and removing the communication links the end user needs.
This includes mobility management functions such as handovers and reporting the terminals location, and in these the UE performs as instructed by the
Logical High Level Architecture
for The Evolved System
EPS uses the concept of EPS bearers to route IP traffic from a gateway in the PDN to the UE.
A bearer is an IP packet flow with a defined Quality of Service (QoS) between the gateway and the UE.
The E-UTRAN and EPC together set up and release bearers as required by applications. SGSN GPRS Core 3GPP anchor SAE anchor MME UPE Operator’s IP Services (e.g. IMS, PSS, etc,) eNB eNB eNB eNB

Interfaces and Protocols
in Basic System Architecture Configuration
• CP protocols related to a UE’s connection to a PDN. The
interfaces from a single MME are shown in two parts, the one
on top showing protocols towards the E-UTRAN and UE, and
the bottom one showing protocols towards the gateways.
• Those protocols that are shown in white background are
developed by 3GPP, while the protocols with light grey
background are developed in IETF, and represent standard
internet technologies that are used for transport in EPS. 3GPP
has only defined the specific ways of how these protocols are
used.

Control plane protocol stack in EPS
The topmost layer in the CP is the Non-Access Stratum (NAS), which consists of two separate protocols that are carried on direct signaling transport
between the UE and the MME.
The content of the NAS layer protocols is not visible to the eNodeB, and the eNodeB is not involved in these transactions by any other means, besides transporting the messages, and providing some additional transport layer
NAS layer protocols
The NAS layer protocols are:
• EPS Mobility Management (EMM): The EMM protocol is responsible for handling the UE mobility within the system. It includes functions for attaching to and
detaching from the network, and performing location updating in between. This is called Tracking Area Updating (TAU), and it happens in idle mode. Note that the handovers in connected mode are handled by the lower layer protocols, but the EMM layer does include functions for re-activating the UE from idle mode. The UE initiated case is called Service Request, while Paging represents the network
initiated case. Authentication and protecting the UE identity, i.e. allocating the temporary identity GUTI to the UE are also part of the EMM layer, as well as the control of NAS layer security functions, encryption and integrity protection.
• EPS Session Management (ESM): This protocol may be used to handle the bearer management between the UE and MME, and it is used in addition for E-UTRAN bearer management procedures. Note that the intention is not to use the ESM procedures if the bearer contexts are already available in the network and
E-UTRAN procedures can be run immediately. This would be the case, for example, when the UE has already signaled with an operator affiliated. Application Function in the network, and the relevant information has been made available through the PCRF.
User plane protocol stack in EPS
The UP includes the layers below the end user IP, i.e. these protocols form the Layer 2 used for carrying the end user IP packets.
The protocol structure is very similar to the CP.
This highlights the fact that the whole system is designed for generic packet data transport, and both CP signaling and UP data are ultimately packet data. Only the volumes are different.

Downlink Transmission Scheme
• The downlink transmission scheme for E-UTRA FDD and TDD
modes is based on conventional OFDM. In an OFDM system,
the available spectrum is divided into multiple carriers, called
sub-carriers, which are orthogonal to each other. Each of
these sub-carriers is independently modulated by a low rate
data stream.
• OFDM is used as well in WLAN, WiMAX and broadcast
technologies like DVB. OFDM has several benefits including its
robustness against multipath fading and its efficient receiver
architecture.
Quiz 3
Which one is true
LTE is able to manage WiMAX
or
WiMAX is able to manage LTE
?
How?
OFDM
• Single Carrier Transmission (e.g. WCDMA)
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
OFDM signal generation chain
• OFDM signal generation is based on Inverse Fast Fourier
Transform (IFFT) operation on transmitter side:
On receiver side, an FFT operation will be used.
Difference between OFDM and OFDMA
• OFDM allocates users in time domain only
• OFDMA allocates users in time and frequency domain
OFDMA time-frequency multiplexing
LTE – spectrum flexibility
• LTE physical layer supports any bandwidth from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz in
steps of 180 kHz (resource block)
• Current LTE specification supports a subset of 6 different system
bandwidths
• All UEs must support the maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz

LTE: The Promise
• LTE doesn’t fulfill the requirements of
IMT-Advanced
• 3GPP has also started work on
LTE-Advanced, an evolution of LTE, as a
proposal to ITU-R for the development of
IMT Advanced.
• LTE Advanced is envisioned to be the
“first true 4G technology”.
The requirement is defined so that a Release 8 based LTE
device can operate in the LTE-Advanced system and,
respectively, the Release 10 LTE Advanced device can access
the Release 8 LTE networks. Obviously a Release 9 terminal
would also be similarly accommodated. This could be covered,
for example, with the multicarrier type of alternative. The
mobility between LTE-Advanced needs to work with LTE as well
Requirements of
• Peak data rates – 1Gbps in DL and 500 Mbps in UL
• Cell edge user data rates twice as high and average user throughput thrice as high as in LTE
• Peak spectrum efficiency DL: 30 bps/Hz, UL: 15 bps/Hz
• Operate in flexible spectrum allocations up to 100 MHz and support spectrum aggregation (as BW in DL >>20 MHz)
• An LTE-Advanced capable network must appear as a LTE network for the LTE UEs
Resource sharing between LTE and LTE-Advanced
Technological proposals for
• Larger BW can be used for
high date rates and more
coverage at cell edges
• Advanced repeater
structures
• Relaying for adaptive coding
based on link quality
Carrier aggregation and Spectrum aggregation
Support asymmetric bandwidths for LTE advanced
Specification
• The ITU-R process aims for early 2011 completion of the ITU-R
specifications, which requires 3GPP to submit the first full set
of specifications around the end of 2010.
• This is one of the factors shaping the Release 10 finalization
schedule, though officially the Release 10 schedule has not
yet been defined in 3GPP, but will be discussed further once
Release 9 work has progressed further.
Conclusion
• 3GPP Long Term Evolution has a large amount of potential to
become the technology of the future whose success will
definitely guarantee that 3GPP has a significant edge over all
its competitors.
• With LTE–Advanced also adopting SC-FDMA as the uplink
technology, SC-FDMA seems to be an important future
technology and it is expected that the future would see a lot
of research activity in this field.
• LTE and LTE Advanced together seem to be very promising in
fulfilling all the requirements set forth by ITU for IMT
Advanced
