Signal Modulation and Mapping
Normal CP is assumed
• The unity circle produced by the DM-RS may look random but is the result
of phase modulating each successive subcarrier to create a Constant
Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) Sequence
• There are 30 different sequences defined providing orthogonality between
users (similar to Walsh Codes in CDMA)
• The sequence follows a Zadoff-Chu progression
Sqm ( m 1)
j RS
N ZC RS
xq m e , 0 d m d N ZC 1
RS
where N ZC is the first prime number less than the required number of
subcarriers, and m is the subcarrier number of the qth sequence
• For allocations less than 3 Resource Blocks (36 subcarriers) it is not
possible to use a Zadoff-Chu sequence so the RS are modulated with a
simpler computer-generated QPSK sequence of length 12 or 24

What is Protocol?
¾An agreed-upon set of rules governing the exchange of
information.
¾“An agreed-upon set of rules”: what, how, and when
information is communicated must conform to some mutually
acceptable set of conventions referred to as ‘the protocol’
¾“Information” : Two types
• “Control” -used to setup, maintain, and end the communication link
• “Data” -the actual content that is intended to be exchanged packaged
into “messages”
¾The protocol defines and governs the exchange of
messages

• Simplified all IP network, with fewer elements and more autonomy for the eNB
• No RNC, NO Soft HO
• Some specifications are almost complete, some are still FFS
• UL power control (PHY process defined 36.213, upper layer procedures FFS)
• RRC firming up, but still needs much work
• UMTS comparison:
• Much more in MAC to reduce higher level processing
• Higher layers similar to UMTS
• Reduced complexity and channel count
• Much simplified categorisation
• Some areas more complex because of Diversity, eg CQI, Power control
• Designed to interwork with existing UMTS and CDMA2000 networks

What is TD-LTE?
• LTE TDD (Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex) or also known as TD-LTE
is part of the 3GPP specifications for the next generation cellular technology.
• In China, TD-LTE will be an evolution from TD-SCDMA and will provide for
asymmetric needs of mobile data usage and allow use of unpaired spectrum.
• China Mobile will use the TDD version of LTE that will be compatible with TD-
SCDMA and the rest of the world's LTE. LTE, or Long Term Evolution, is a fourth
generation (4G) mobile broadband standard and is aimed to be the successor
to the 3G technologies GSM.

Works directly with Agilent's MXA Signal Analyzer to help wireless-systems designers
and verification engineers speed development of the evolving LTE TDD designs.
It is the world's first fully coded bit error ratio (BER) solution for the time division duplex
(TDD) version of 3GPP's long-term evolution (LTE) standard using 2x2 and 4x4 multiple
input/multiple output (MIMO) technology.
The solution allows fully coded BER measurements of a device under test, including
simulation of channel impairments for multipath fading. It complements Agilent's same
capability for the frequency division duplexing (FDD) version of LTE and is expected to
accelerate the development of mobile devices and base stations for the China market.

Also recently announced is an LTE Baseband Exploration Library (W1912) for Agilent
SystemVue that offers baseband algorithmic source code models, in industry
standard .m-file format, for deeper algorithm verification of LTE-TDD systems. Agilent
3GPP LTE TDD Wireless Library (W1910/E8895) is available now.

Agilent N7625B Signal Studio for TD-LTE
The Agilent N7625B Signal Studio for LTE TDD is a powerful, PC-based
software application for creating standards-based TD-LTE signals using Agilent's
N5182A/62A MXG and E4438C ESG vector signal generators, and N5106A
PXB MIMO receiver tester.
The Signal Studio solution supports the 3GPP LTE TDD September 08
standard, offers multichannel capability for PDSCH, PHICH, PCFICH, PBCH,
PDCCH, PUSCH, PUCCH, and has the ability to transmit DL and UL signals.
The software provides basic capabilities well suited for testing components
used in base stations and mobile handsets, such as power amplifiers and filters,
and advanced receiver test capabilities that support transport layer coding, 4x4
MIMO pre-coding and static fading.
This extensive feature set makes Signal Studio for LTE TDD the best choice
for eNB and UE test from the component to the system level. The Agilent Signal
Studio (N7625B) is available to order today.

LTE TDD downlink (OFDMA), uplink (SC-FDMA) and MIMO analysis is a single option.
The VSA software offers industry-leading performance with EVM of < -50 dB (hardware
dependent) and bandwidths of 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz. Modulation formats included are
BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM 64 QAM, CAZAC, OSxPRBS, TDD DL/UL allocation (0-6) and
special subframe length (0-8), and 2x2 MIMO.
This VSA software can be used with more than 30 Agilent products, including spectrum
and signal analyzers, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to make LTE measurements
anywhere in the block diagram -- from baseband to antenna, on digitized or analog signals.
It supports 2x2 MIMO analysis in conjunction with Agilent's EXA and MXA Signal
Analyzers, VXI based VSA analyzer and several scopes. It also has connectivity with
Agilent's Advance Design System (ADS) TD-LTE wireless library. Agilent's 89600 VSA
software for LTE-TDD pre-release will be available in the second quarter of 2009, with
commercial release in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Anite and Agilent
Industry Leaders Partnering to Deliver
World Class LTE Development Solutions
• Providing scalable test solutions to address the complete R&D life cycle for LTE
mobile development.
– Anite and Agilent have entered a new strategic partnership
– This partnership is founded on the principle that together we can better service
customer requirements
– The industry leading solution set will be based on a common platform and
protocol stack, providing a truly scalable solution to address all phases of UE
development – enabling customers to bring LTE UEs to market faster and more
efficiently
– The solutions will be implemented by integrated marketing and development
teams – to accelerate customer deliverables
– Anite will provide industry leading development, conformance and interoperability
protocol test solutions
– Agilent will provide industry leading RF platform, OBT based solutions and RF
conformance solutions
Partnership benefits
• The Anite/Agilent partnership developed over several years, is
enhanced by the new generation E6620A HW platform.
• The E6620A is co-developed by Agilent and Anite and supports a
variety of interfaces and applications designed to cover the breadth
of testing needs from early development through to manufacturing.
• The key to the Anite/Agilent approach is the re-use of common HW
(including Baseband) and SW (including protocol stack) throughout
the product range.
• As an example, this means the same protocol stack is used in
Simulation, Development, OBT, L1 functional, Scenario Testing,
Signalling & RF Conformance, Performance Testing and IOT.
• The consistency of implementation throughout our toolsets will
reduce test delays at critical phases of our customers’ development
programmes.
