1 3GPP Presentation on the LTE-Advanced as an IMT-Advanced Technology Solution (RP-080756) ITU-R IMT-Advanced Workshop 7 October 2008 Seoul, Korea 2 3GPP 3GPP – – ITU collaboration: ITU collaboration: a ten a ten - - year successful track record! year successful track record! 3GPP has contributed to the ITU process toward IMT since its foundation in 1998 and this cooperation proved to be extremely successful. With specific reference to IMT-Advanced, 3GPP has actively supported the ITU activity since the early stages of the work in both WP 8F and WP 5D, and also at the previous workshop in Kyoto in 2007 where LTE was presented as a foundation for the LTE-Advanced 3 Toward IMT Toward IMT - - Advanced: Advanced: As highlighted in the next slide, the ITU-R and 3GPP timelines are well aligned. In particular, 3GPP foresees: An An “ “ Early Proposal Early Proposal ” ” submission submission agreed at RAN #41 (9- 12 Sep 2008), for submission to WP 5D #3 (8-15 Oct 2008) A A “ “ Complete Technology Complete Technology ” ” submission submission to be agreed at RAN #44 (26-29 May 2009), for submission to WP 5D #5 (planned for 10-17 June 2009) A A “ “ Final Final ” ” submission submission to incorporate updates, additional specific details or feature additions, and the required self- evaluation, to be agreed at RAN #45 (22-25 Sep 2009), for submission to WP 5D #6 (planned for 13-20 Oct 2009) Source: RP-080599 3/08 6/08 12/08 3/09 5/09 9/09 12/09 3/109/08 LTE-Advanced SI Approved 3GPP LTE- Advanced Early Submission to ITU-R Steps 1 & 2 Circular Letter & Development of Candidate RITs 3/08 to 10/09 IMT-Advanced Evaluation Group(s) Formed (notify ITU-R) 3GPP Initiate 3GPP LTE- Advanced Self-Evaluation 3GPP LTE- Advanced Final Submission to ITU-R including Updated Technical Submission & Required Self- Evaluation LTE-Advanced Specifications 3GPP LTE- Advanced Complete Technical Submission to ITU-R Step 3 Submission 3/09 to 10/09 Step 4 Evaluations 1/09 to 6/10 3/08 6/08 10/09 10/09 6/10 3/09 ITU-R Detailed Timelines for ITU-R Steps 1- 4 3/09 LTE-Advanced Specifications to ITU-R ~ Jan 2011 Evaluation of ITU-R Submissions Eval Reports ITU-R Circular Letter 5/LCCE/2 Process & Timelines ITU-R Circular Letter Addendum 5/LCCE/2 + Requirements & Submission Templates Cutoff for Evaluation Reports to ITU-R June 2010 INDUSTRY RAN #41 RAN #42 RAN #43RAN #39 RAN #44RAN #40 RAN #45 WP 5D #1 WP 5D #2 WP 5D #4 WP 5D #8 WP 5D #6 WP 5D #4 WP 5D #6 RAN #47RAN #46 [~Release 10 ] [~RAN #50 12/10] 6/09 WP 5D #5 10/08 WP 5D #3 4 Source: RP-080651 ITU-R Evaluation Criteria 3GPP work on ITU-R Step 2 Technology Development 3GPP work on ITU-R Step 3 Technology Submission 3GPP Q&A with evaluation groups (as required) 5 The 3GPP The 3GPP “ “ Early Proposal Early Proposal ” ” The “Early Proposal” submission available at WP 5D #3: reinforces the relationship of the 3GPP work to IMT- Advanced confirms the 3GPP roadmap & workplan on LTE- Advanced work provides the initial 3GPP technology concept(s) under discussion/development for LTE-Advanced and as such it provides a starting point for the education/information to evaluation groups Source: RP-080763 6 LTE LTE - - Advanced Advanced Requirements and targets Requirements and targets Requirements and targets for LTE-Advanced are captured in TR 36.913 - “3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Radio Access Network; Requirements for Further Advancements for E-UTRA (LTE-Advanced) ”, and are based on the following concepts: LTE-Advanced is an evolution of LTE All relevant requirements of LTE are valid also for LTE-Advanced LTE-Advanced shall meet or exceed IMT-Advanced requirements within the ITU-R time plan Backward compatibility with E-UTRA/E-UTRAN Source: TR 36.913 & RP-080599 7 LTE Advanced LTE Advanced Main technical features under discussion Main technical features under discussion Support of wider bandwidth: Carrier aggregation, where two or more component carriers, each with a bandwidth up to 20 MHz, are aggregated, is considered for LTE-Advanced in order to support downlink transmission bandwidths larger than 20 MHz, e.g. 100 MHz. Spatial multiplexing Extension of LTE downlink spatial multiplexing to up to eight layers is considered. For the uplink spatial multiplying to up to four layers is considered. Source: RP-080500 & RP-080763 8 LTE Advanced LTE Advanced Main technical features under discussion Main technical features under discussion Coordinated multiple point transmission and reception: This feature is considered as a tool to improve the coverage of high data rates, the cell-edge throughput and/or to increase system throughput. In downlink this feature implies dynamic coordination among multiple geographically separated transmission points. Possible schemes include coordinated scheduling and/or beamforming, and joint processing/transmission In uplink this feature implies reception of the transmitted signal at multiple, geographically separated points. Scheduling decisions can be coordinated among cells to control interference.
