Introduction - What is WiMAX and LTE

WiMAX
WiMAX is based upon the IEEE 802.16 standard enabling the delivery of wireless broadband services anytime, anywhere. WiMAX products can accommodate fixed and mobile usage models. Initiated in 2004, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) project focused on enhancing the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and optimizing 3GPPs radio access architecture. Targets were to have average user throughput of three- to four-times the Release 6 HSDPA levels in the Downlink (100Mbps), and two to three times the HSUPA levels in the Uplink (50Mbps).

MIMO & Diversity concepts

MIMO and Diversity Both Important, Different Objectives


Multiple Antennas can be used in a variety of ways:

Transmit Diversity

Receive Diversity

Spatial Multiplexing

Diversity techniques protect against fading, and improve coverage

Taking the journey from WiMAX to LTE January 2010

MIMO Spatial Multiplexing


MIMO Spatial Multiplexing is the simultaneous use of the same frequencies to transmit different signals
MIMO

Tx1

Rx0 Rx1

Spatial multiplexing increases the spectral efficiency of the transmission, increasing capacity MIMO and diversity can be combined
Taking the journey from WiMAX to LTE January 2010

Feedback systems in MIMO


Open loop MIMO

Selection combining
Maximal ratio combining (MRC) Space time/ Space frequency block coding

(as the name implies channel state/quality has to be estimated without feedback from BS to MS)

Closed loop MIMO

(UE tells the BS to choose which Resource Blocks to transmit on, what modulation etc)

Precoding

Taking the journey from WiMAX to LTE January 2010

Factors that affect MIMO performance


Extent of Correlation among the channel paths

SNR of the channel path at the receiver


Spatial Correlation coefficient at transmitter - Spatial Correlation coefficient at receiver

=0=0 4.4 bits/Hz

=1=1

Better SNR offers improvement in bits/Hz compared to SISO

Taking the journey from WiMAX to LTE January 2010

On Phase Coherency
For directly mapped open loop MIMO testing, the phase relationship between test signals does not affect the performance of the receiver (because orthogonal signals have to be coupled twice for vector addition to take place)

For closed loop MIMO, the phase between test signals needs to be constant during the period when the channel is sample, allowing coupling coefficients to be calculated and applied. This requires the system to be stable rather than phase coherent

Precoding in LTE
Purpose

of the pre-coding is to optimize the transmissions (streams) to the characteristics of the radio channel so that when the signals are received, they can be more easily separated back into the original data streams.
It consists of set of weights (vectors) to be mapped on to resources on each of the antenna ports, known as Codeword (CW) The inputs to the precoder come from layer mapping Enables closed loop MIMO

In LTE, the UE selects the codeword from the codebook and tells the eNB to use that particular codeword

While setting correlation properties for the channel, it can be per-path or per-channel Per-path spatial correlation can closely model a real wireless channel but has a high level of computational capacity MIMO channel models in WiMAX use correlation factors for per-path, depending on Angle of Departure (AoD) and Angle of Arrival (AoA) parameters. LTE requirements recommend the per-channel correlation model, in an effort to reduce MIMO complexity
