内容摘要 The work on LTE was initiated in late 2004 with the overall aim of providing a new radio-accesstechnology focusing on packet-switched data only. The first phase of the 3GPP work on LTE was todefine a set of performance and capability targets for LTE [10]. This included targets on peak datarates, user/system throughput, spectral efficiency, and control/user-plane latency. In addition, require-ments were also set on spectrum fiexibility, as well as on interaction/compatibility with other 3GPPradio-access technologies (GSM, WCDMAfHSPA, and TD-SCDMA). Once the targets were set, 3GPP studies on the feasibility of different technical solutions consid-ered for LTE were followed by development of the detailed specifications. The first release of theLTE specifications, release 8, was completed in the spring of 2008 and commercial network operationbegan in late 2009. Release 8 has then been followed by additional LTE releases, introducing addi-tional functionality and capabilities in different areas, as illustrated in Figure. 7.1.In parallel to the development of LTE, there has also been an evolution of the overall 3GPPnetwork architecture, termed System Architecture Evolution (SAE), including both the radio-accessnetwork and the core network. Requirements were also set on the architecture evolution, leading toa new flat radio-access-network architecture with a single type of node, the eNodeBl, as well as a newcore-network architecture. An excellent descnption of the LTE-associated core-network architecture,the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), can be found in [9]. The remaining part of this chapter provides an overview of LTE up to and including release 10.The most important technologies used by LTE release 8 - including transmission schemes, schedul-ing, multi-antenna support, and spectrum flexibility - are covered, as well as the additional featuresintroduced in LTE releases 9 and 10. The chapter can either be read on its own to get a high-leveloverview of LTE, or as an introduction to the subsequent chapters. The following chapters, Chapters 8-18, then contain a detailed description of the LTE radio-accesstechnology. Chapter 8 provides an overview of the LTE protocol structure, including RLC, MAC, andthe physical layer, explaining the logical and physical channels, and the related data flow. The time-frequency structure on which LTE is based is covered in Chapter 9, followed by a detailed descriptionof the physical layer for downlink and uplink transmission in Chapters 10 and 11 respectively. Chapter12 contains a description of the retransmission mechanisms used in LTE, followed by a discussion onpower control, scheduling, and interference management in Chapter 13. Access procedures, necessaryfor a terminal to connect to the network, are the topic of Chapter 14. Chapter 15 covers the multi-cast/broadcast functionality of LTE and Chapter 16 describes relaying operation. Chapter 17 addresseshow radio-frequency (RF) requirements are defined in LTE, taking into account the spectrum flexibility.Finally, Chapter 18 contains an assessment of the system performance of LTE. ……
