OFDM Theory
OFDM Sub-Carriers

Frequency

Serial data stream mapped onto many parallel sub-carriers


Lower symbol rate and longer symbols vs. single-carrier

The sub-carriers are orthogonal


At each sub-carrier center, neighboring sub-carriers ideally have zero amplitude This removes need for inter-sub-carrier guard bands

OFDM leverages the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to synthesize and recover the signal
Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT/IFFT) algorithm reduces computational complexity

ISI-free symbol start region

CP adds overhead but provides inter-symbol interference (ISI) mitigation LTE defines normal CP of 4.7s and extended CP of 16.7s

Wireless Technology PHY Comparison


Technology UMTS WCDMA LTE Symbol Period 0.26 s (1/3.84Mcps) 66.7 s Channel or Subcarrier Spacing 5 MHz 15 kHz

Symbol period is roughly 1/(channel spacing) for single-carrier systems, 1/(subcarrier spacing) for OFDM LTE: Long OFDM symbol periods and CP mitigate ISI without equalization UMTS: Short symbol periods relative to delay spread requires channel equalization (i.e. rake receiver) to mitigate ISI Rake receiver adds cost/complexity

OFDM Advantages
Low-complexity UE receiver design
Efficient IFFT/FFT processing Traditional equalizer not needed

Robust fading channel performance


Long symbol time with cyclic prefix provides tolerance to multipath delay spread without equalization

Each sub-carrier modulated independently


Allows MCS adjustment across frequency to match channel conditions

Improved MIMO performance due to flat frequency response per subcarrier

OFDM Limitations
Peak Power Problem The OFDM signal has a large peak to average power ratio (PAPR) Higher power amplifiers are needed leading to increased cost and linearization requirements and decreased power efficiency Low noise receiver amplifiers need larger dynamic range Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) Due to narrow subcarrier spacing, frequency offsets, phase noise, and Doppler spread destroy orthogonality and create ICI OFDM design parameters trade off robustness to fading (delay spread) and Doppler (velocity) Capacity and Power Loss Due to Cyclic Prefix Cyclic prefix consumes bandwidth and transmit power

Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) is a form of DFT Spread-OFDM with adjacent subcarrier mapping
An additional DFT spreads information across all subcarriers Contiguous subcarrier allocation for IFFT results in single-carrier signal

Advantage: The single-carrier signal has generally lower peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) which allows use of lower cost UE power amplifier (PA) and reduces UE power consumption Disadvantage: Single-carrier modulation results in ISI and requires equalization

MIMO

MIMO adds spatial dimension to the wireless PHY interface Beamforming (BF) and Transmit Diversity (TD)
Single-stream: improves SINR Mainly for improving coverage through the parallel transmission of differently weighted (BF) or coded (TD) versions of a single stream

Spatial Multiplexing (SM)


Multiple-streams: power is shared (lower SINR per stream) Improves capacity through the parallel transmission of multiple spatial streams on the same time-frequency resources

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

MIMO Mode Selection


Shannon Channel Capacity Theorem

Bandwidth-limited (best to use spatial-multiplexing) Throughput SINR-limited (best to use beamforming or transmit diversity)

C = B log 2 (1 + S / N )

SINR

Low SINR: increasing SINR via BF or TD provides improved range and/or throughput gain at the cell edge High SINR: throughput saturates so SM provides best throughput gain despite lower SINR per stream
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 15

MIMO Impact on Throughput and Coverage


Throughput vs. Coverage with 4x4 MIMO

Channel rank dictates the number of simultaneous streams that the channel can support
Rank-1 transmission via BF or TD improves coverage Spatial Multiplexing (rank > 1) increases peak rate

Cell search procedure


Step 1: OFDM symbol synchronization and determination of cell ID
UE uses the primary synchronization sequence to
acquire the symbol synchronization identify (one of three possible) cell IDs within a cell ID group

This is done by continuously correlating three local primary synchronization sequences with the received signal Symbol synchronization is obtained by detecting a time-domain correlation peak, and the sequence corresponding to the correlation peak indicates one of three IDs within a cell ID group

Cell search procedure (continued)


Step 2: Radio frame synchronization and cell ID group detection
UE uses the secondary synchronization sequence to determine
radio frame timing cell ID group index of the cell detected in the first step

The UE correlates the received S-SCH signal with each of the secondary candidate sequences based on the symbol synchronization acquired in the first step to determine the cell ID group During the detection of secondary synchronization channel, the CP length may also be obtained by blind detection

PDCCH Blind Decoding


Common and UE-specific search spaces defined UE blindly attempts to decode with different aggregation assumptions In early 3GPP discussions, it was agreed that a maximum of ~40 PDCCH decoding attempts by the UE would be acceptable
~10 for common search space ~30 for UE-specific search space
