III. Key 4G Technologies

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing or OFDM is a modulation format that is being used for many of the latest wireless and telecommunications standards. Multiple access is achieved in OFDMA by assigning subsets of closely spaced subcarriers to individual users.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) In modulation, Transmitted signals must be spaced. The receiver can separate them using a filter and there must be a guard band between them.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) In OFDM the sidebands from each carrier overlap. However, no interference occurs because they are orthogonal to each another. At the peak of each spectrum, the power in all other subcarriers is zero.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Advantages of OFDMA: Its robustness to selective and multipath fading; Since the carriers are closely spaced. Spectrum efficiency: The closed spaced sub- carriers make efficient use of the bandwidth. Resilience to Intersymbol Interference ISI : Due to the use of low data rates.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Disadvantages of OFDMA: More sensitive to carrier offset and drift than the single carrier modulation systems. High peak to average power ratio.

SDR (Software Defined Radio) A software defined radio is one that can be configured to any radio or frequency standard through the use of software. A SDR will allow to increase network capacity at specific time (e.g. during a sports event) and the operator can reconfigure its network by adding several modems at a given Base Transceiver Station (BTS)

SDR (Software Defined Radio) Adaptive Radio: Adaptive radio is radio in which communications systems have a means of monitoring their own performance and modifying their operating parameters to improve this performance

SDR (Software Defined Radio) Cognitive Radio: Cognitive radio is radio in which communication systems are aware of their internal state and environment, such as location and utilization on RF frequency spectrum at that location. They can make decisions about their radio operating behaviour by mapping that information against predefined objectives.

SDR (Software Defined Radio) Intelligent Radio: Intelligent radio is cognitive radio that is capable of machine learning. This allows the cognitive radio to improve the ways in which it adapts to changes in performance and environment to better serve the needs of the end user.

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 4G uses a technology called MIMO "Multiple in Multiple Out" where multiple antennas are used at both the source (transmitter) and the destination (receiver) to deliver super-fast speeds and to minimize errors .

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) LTE MIMO Modes Single ended : There is a number of different MIMO configurations or formats that can be used. These are termed SISO, SIMO, MISO and MIMO. These different MIMO formats offer different advantages and disadvantages - these can used in the most basic wireless systems that a signal could be transmitted by one antenna to a single or multiple antennas.

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) LTE MIMO Modes Spatial multiplexing : requires MIMO antenna configuration. In spatial multiplexing, a high-rate signal is split into multiple lower-rate streams and each stream is transmitted from a different transmit antenna in the same frequency channel.

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) LTE MIMO Modes Transmit diversity: This form of LTE MIMO scheme utilizes the transmission of the same information stream from multiple antennas

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) Advantages: Improve the performance of the system. Enables far high data rates to be achieved. Much improved spectral efficiency. Disadvantages: MIMO adds complexity to the system in terms of processing and the number of antennas required.

IV. Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) What? The performance of the system reflecting transmitting quality and service availability Why? Limited radiospectrum Network traffic has to be managed

Quality of Service (QoS) What is the outcome? Guaranteed bit rate High speed throughput Priority service

Quality of Service (QoS) How is LTE QoS implemented?

Quality of Service (QoS) User Plane Responsible for data traffic behaviour Control Plane Performs control related actions (MIP registration, signalling, Admission control)

Quality of Service (QoS) As a conclusion, What is the benefit? Network traffic is solved. User is given good bandwidth, rate and no delay. Therefore, User service meats expectations.

Company visit The different wireless generations: 2G (GSM) is the bus and 3G ( UMTS) is the supermarket ! At each release the data rate increases. In Orange they work with Release 7 voice + data at downlink 42Mbps and uplink 5.7Mbps.

Company visit The different wireless generations: But people are data hungry … LTE systems is the solution.

Company visit The different wireless generations: But people are data hungry … LTE systems is the solution. Bandwidth from 1.4 M to 20 Mbps. Carrier aggregation: The band defines the throughput. Orange works with 10 Mbps , it gives throughput 75 Mbps. Average throughput of 4G is much better. Related technologies: 1-OFDMA 2-MIMO:a)Spatial multiplexing b)Diversity

Company visit Implementation in Egypt: In Egypt we only have to adjust the antenna to operate in the desired band. The service provider controls the operation band, so it can be adjusted to support 4G ( or 3G and 4G together in order not to lose the 3G users). The 4G implementation in Egypt was late for License and Governmental reasons. However the equipment were available two years ago.

This evolution let us wonder what technology still has to offer in the future ;
