SCTP: Stream Control Transmission Protocol. For IP signalling. Ensures reliable, insequence transport of messages with congestion control Similar to TCP but with
advantages:
Multi-homing support, where one (or both) endpoints of a connection can consist of
more than one IP address, enabling transparent fail-over between redundant network
paths.
Transaction-oriented, it transports data in one or more messages instead of in byte
streams ( TCP)
GTP: GPRS Tunnelling Protocol ( same as for UMTS Rel 99): user plane traffic

Downlink
Normal Cyclic Prefix considered and 10MHz BW
Following overheads not reduced: CRC, L2/L3 headers, IP headers
Following overheads reduced
Synchronization, reference, PBCH, PCFICH, PHICH and 1 PDCCH symbol
Relative overheads
Reference symbol overhead 9.5% with 2x2 MIMO
PDCCH overhead 4.76% with single symbol (two symbols with 1.4
MHz)(12*Numpdcch symbol-4*RS)/(12*7*2subframes)
Other overheads <1% with 10 MHz bandwidth
UPLINK
Following overheads not reduced: CRC, L2/L3 headers, IP headers
Following overheads reduced
1 symbol for reference symbol
1 resource block for PUCCH
Relative overheads
Reference symbol overhead 14.3%
PUCCH overhead =2/50 (or best case 1/50)= 4% or (2%)
RACH overhead = (not present in peak?)= 6 * 84 /(2*84*50*10)=0.6%
When calculating peak rate is it considering that only factors of 2, 3 or 5 can be
assigned in the UL?
VIRTUAL MIMO: (multi user MIMO) 2 UEs with 1Tx antenna each can communicate
with an eNodeB simultaneously using the same resource blocks simultaneously ( A
way for operators to increase capacity). As UEs are assumed to be physically distant
from each other the resulting combined transmissions arrive at the eNodeB as
multipath and can be processed in the same way as separate MIMO streams. It
doubles capacity of the UL.
