TD-LTE Fundamental
LTE FDD
A paired frequency band allocation
Uplink and downlink selected from different frequency bands
LTE TDD
Enables use of unpaired frequency bands
The same frequency band for UL and DL, divided in time
Channel Reciprocity
TD-LTE and LTE FDD Difference
solely a physical layer manifestation and therefore invisible to
higher layers
there are no operational differences between the two modes in the
system architecture.

HARQ and control signaling
HARQ ACK/NACK
For FDD, the acknowledgement of data received in sub-frame n is
transmitted in sub-frame n+4
For TDD, the acknowledgement obviously cannot be transmitted until
an uplink sub-frame occurs
Multiple UL ACK/NACK Transmission
For, DL heavy case, the reception of several downlink sub-frames may
need to be acknowledged in a single uplink sub-frame.
ACK/NACK Bundling
- Combines the acknowledgements in time domain from multiple
hybrid-ARQ processes
ACK/NACK Multiplexing
- Combines the acknowledgements in codeword domain from multiple
hybrid-ARQ processes.

Brief Introduction of OFDMA
* Source: 3GPP TS25.892
Each sub-carrier carries a separate low-rate stream of data
Sub-carriers
→ Orthogonal frequencies & independently modulated
Symbol duration >> channel delay spread
→ Much less ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference)
A guard time is added to each symbol
→ Cyclic Prefix in LTE

Advantages & Disadvantages of OFDMA
Advantages
Scalable data rate
Simpler channel equalizer than CDMA
Robust against multipath fading by using CP
Dynamic resource allocation considering channel information
→ Maximize throughput
Disadvantages
High PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)
Sensitive to frequency offset and clock offset
Requires guard interval
→ Reduces throughput

specific symbol

transmitted symbols

Frame Structure (TDD)
Special Sub-frame
DwPTS: used for downlink data transmission. (varied from three up
to twelve OFDM symbols)
GP: guard period for the downlink-to-uplink
• Guard period must cover the maximum roundtrip propagation delay within
the cell
• selected by taking eNB-to-eNB interference into account
• two to ten OFDM symbols, sufficient for cell sizes up to and beyond 100 km.
