3Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 3 Adequacy of proposed CAZAC scheme the PAPR of preamble is an important property. However, the preamble PAPR should be examined in view of the payload PAPR. That is, decreasing the Preamble PAPR beneath the expected payload PAPR would not lead to any advantage on the system level. The very low 1-2 dB PAPR suggested by the CAZAC approach would give almost no advantage over another series with PAPR in the vicinity of 4-5dB. Although the CAZAC waveforms are simple to generate (similarity to the sounding waveforms of the e) the decoding/reception complexity is extremely high. This is easy to show by means of comparison with BPSK modulated preamble. The estimation process begin with multiplying the incoming preamble (in the frequency domain) with a series of PN sequences (stored at the UT memory). Obviously, the multiplication of a digital series with a sequence of +1, -1 (BPSK) is far more attractive and simpler than the multiplication with a series of complex value numbers (suggested by CAZAC approach)

4Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 4 CAZAC approach would imply a complex HW required to carryout a large number of complex multiplications ( the number is identical to number of pilots within the preamble). The negligible gain of CAZAC preamble on the system level does not justify the massive HW requirements. we recommend use of binary PN sequences. Adequacy of proposed CAZAC scheme

6Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 6 In multi-cell deployment, the popular deployment is with Hexagon like cells. This allows the use of multiple different allocation within the cell (Reuse factor < 1) Reuse 1/3 deployment calls for decimated preamble with factor 3. This means that each segment uses a different set of pilot in Preamble (e.g. every 3n+k, K= 0,1,2). This preamble structure makes sure that the transmitted preamble by all 3 segments remain orthogonal (in the frequency domain) Simulation studies also show that in many scenarios (especially in the low CINR regime) the capacity of a cell with reuse less than 1 (e.g. 1/3) is higher than that in the elementary Reuse 1. We believe that similar deployment ideas will be predicted in the standard. It is therefore important to adhere to the decimation with factor 3 for use as the preambles.

23Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 23 Additional assumptions: The simulation were ran without frequency shift and without phase noise. Since in the OPUSC scheme the pilots in each symbol are allocated not in all subcarriers, we used linear interpolation to perform channel estimation.

30Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 30 Conclusions: The presented graphs show us that we have BER=1e-5 with SNR=9.5. In order to improve the channel estimation we suggest to aggregate number of frames (3 and 5). From the first graph we see that the aggregation of 5 frames improves the performance in approx. 3.5db to compare with 1 frame and is close to the perfect channel performance.

32Runcom Technologies Ltd. Submission Eli Sofer, Runcom February 2007 Doc.: IEEE r1 Slide 32 Conclusions Preamble with 3 reps is recommended (for 3 different segments), accommodating different deployment scenarios and multi-cell scenarios. PUSC simulation results so far are poor unless used tiles are transmitted in favorable CINR. The concepts presented by ETRI are almost identical to the transmission scheme (US & DS) of the e. The changes are mostly semantic. We propose to adopt the concepts presented by ETRI (not necessarily the details.
