Outline • Introduction 2. Advantages with CDMA/TDD systems 3. Engineering Issues 4. Conclusion Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Introduction • 4G mobile communications systems • multimedia services (e.g., voice and video telephony, high-speed Internet, mobile computing) • International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) • IMT-2000 Radio Transmission Technology (RTT) • 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) vs 3GPP2 • Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) • Transmission Modes • Frequency division duplex (FDD) • Downlink and uplink use two separate frequency channel • IS-95 (digital cellular, PCS) • Time division duplex (TDD) • two links use the same frequency channel Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Introduction • Multimedia services • High capacity wideband CDMA (WCDMA) • Various requirements on quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth flexible resource allocation TDD • CDMA + TDD CDMA/TDD • IMT-2000 • 3GPP: WCDMA/TDD, WCDMA/FDD • 3GPP2: Multicarrier CDMA/WCDMA • Objective of this talk • Overview of CDMA/TDD systems • Advantages of CDMA/TDD systems • Engineering issues in CDMA/TDD systems Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Slot and Frame Format • Frequency and time allocation in FDD and TDD systems Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Slot and Frame Format (cont’d) • CDMA / TDD systems • multiple-switching-point .vs. single-switching-point • symmetric .vs. asymmetric slot allocation Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Advantage: Easy Power Control • CDMA systems • Interference limited system received powers at base should be equal to each other • Near/far effect • Fading depends on the mobile’s speed and frequency Uplink power control is essential • Power control in CDMA/FDD • uplink and downlink utilize different frequency bands • mobile can only estimate the downlink channel status • closed-loop feedback control: base commands through downlink Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Easy Power Control Closed loop feedback PC Open loop PC Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Easy Power Control • Power control in CDMA/TDD • uplink and downlink utilize the same frequency band • two channel characteristics are highly correlated • open-loop power control • performance depends on: • the number of switching points • user’s moving speed • Merits of TDD open-loop power control • Increment (or decrement) in transmission power can vary greatly • No need for additional power control channel in downlink • Little processing delay Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Advantages:Pre-RAKE Diversity • RAKE receiver • multipath diversity gain • commercial CDMA systems: both the base and mobiles use RAKE • It requires complex signal processing and power-consumption • pre-RAKE diversity method • The channel characteristics of two link are very similar, because two links use the same frequency band • The base estimates downlink channel impulse response using uplink channel impulse response • pre-RAKE module for downlink • pre-RAKE filter has inverse impulse response of uplink channel • mobile can receive signal equivalent to the output of RAKE • the RAKE receiver function and circuitry are removed from the portable unit and included to the base, while preserving multipath diversity gains.

Pre-RAKE Diversity Method Base base Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Solution for Unpair Frequency Assignment • IMT-2000 frequency allocation TDD FDD(up) FDD(down) • FDD mode: a portion of sub-band may not be used • TDD mode: all portion of sub-band can be used Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Flexible Resource Allocation • Current CDMA systems • major traffic is voice • downlink and uplink utilize equal bandwidth • FDD does not cause any problem • Next generation mobile communications systems • provide multimedia services • utilization is strongly biased toward the downlink : Internet access • FDD results in bandwidth waste and capacity degradation • Asymmetric slot allocation: TDD can maximize the frequency utilization in any traffic asymmetry Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Engineering Issues : Cell Size • Guard time for a slot should contain the propagation delay to accomplish the slot synchronization • The maximum coverage of a cell is limited by guard time • Longer guard time • wider coverage, but lower efficiency • Example • CDMA/TDD systems are more appropriate for the micro/pico cell architecture Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Inter-Cell Synchronization • Two- or three-level synchronization • Example of two-level synchronization Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Time Slot Allocation • Single-cell model • How to allocate slots to uplink and downlink • Appropriate slot allocation can improve the performance • Multi-cell model • cellular environments • The constitution of traffic classes may be different from cell to cell • Strategy I • same time slot allocation for all cells • Strategy II • cell-by-cell different allocation Mobile Networks Lab., SNU
Conclusion • CDMA/TDD • Reciprocity between uplink and downlink channels small and light portable mobile units • Flexible Resource allocation good for multimedia services • CDMA/TDD (along with CDMA/FDD) will become the very important system technology for mobile multimedia communication systems.
