    PUCCH transmission in one subframe is compromised of

    single PRB at or near one edge of the system bandwidth

    followed by asecond PRB at or near the opposite edge of

    the bandwidth

    PUCCH regions depends on the system bandwidth. Typicalvalues are1, 2, 4, 8and16for1.4, 3, 5, 10 and20 MHz

    UL Sign als(S-RS & DM RS)

    S-RS estimates the channel quality required for the UL

    frequency-selective scheduling and transmitted on 1symbol

    ineachsubframe

    DM-RS is associated with the transmission of UL data on

    the PUSCH and\or control signalling on the PUCCH

    Mainly used for channel estimation for coherent

    demodulation

    Setting the Overhead Parameters After you have set the frequency parameters in the LTE Carriers dialog box,

    you can set the parameters on the Overhead tab. This tab enables you todefine the associated fixed and variable signalling and control channeloverhead of each carrier.

    LTE Frames are two-dimensional (time and frequency) entities, containingvarious signalling and control channels. Each of these signals/channelsoccupy a certain amount of Resource Elements (REs) in both the uplink anddownlink. In the downlink, the amount of occupied resources for certainchannels also depends on the number of transmit antennas deployed.

    Single User MIMO Principle4 Closed-loop spatial multiplexing

    Here the UE reports both the RI and index of the preferred pre-coding matrix.

    Rank Indicator (RI) is the UEs recommendation for the number of layers, i.e.

    streams to be used in spatial multiplexing. RI is only reported when the UE is

    operating in MIMO modes with spatial multiplexing

    Spatial Multiplexing does

    increase throughput butthis comes at an expense

    of higher SINR

    requirements as shown on

    the LTE bearers

    Introduction

    QoS differentiation (i.e. prioritisation of different services

    according to their requirements) becomes extremely

    important when the system load increases

    The most relevant parameters of QoS classes are:

    Transfer Delay

    Guaranteed Bit rate

    Delay sensitive QoS Classes have guaranteed bit rate

    requirements.

    When running a simulation,

    ASSET first attempts to servethe GBR demands of both

    Real Time and Non-Real Time

    services, taking into account

    the Priority values of the

    different services.

    Resources are first allocated to

    the service with the highest

    priority, and then to the next

    highest priority service, and so

    on.

    Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP)

    If resources are still available after the GBR demands have been met, then

    different scheduling algorithms can be employed to attempt to serve the MBR of

    real time services.

    A Minimum Bit Rate (Min-GBR) and a Maximum Bit Rate (Max-MBR) have beenspecified for the service.

    If a terminal achieves connection to one or more of the available bearers, the

    eNodeB will firstly allocate enough resources to it in order to achieve Min-GBR.

    It will keep allocating more resources to it until the terminal either reaches theMax-MBR ceiling, or until there not more resources available due to cell loading.

    Terminals with higher bearer rates(and consequently higher SINR) are preferred

    over terminals with lower bearer rates (and consequently lower SINR).

    This means that resources are allocated first to those terminals with better

    SINR/channel conditions, thereby maximising the throughput.

    Monte Carlo-Based Simulation

    When simulating network performance, ASSET uses MonteCarlo algorithms, which can provide a good balancebetween accuracy and usability.

    The Simulator can be used as Full simulation, withrandomised snapshots, or Simulation without snapshots.

    With full simulation, the performance of the network canbe analysed over a series of randomised snapshots, inwhich specified densities of user terminals are positioned instatistically determined locations. The ability of eachterminal to make its connection to the network iscalculated through an iterative process. The performanceof the network is then analysed from the averaged results.

    Simulation with Snapshots

    Terminal count in a pixel is determined using a Poisson distribution with a

    mean given by the number of terminals in the traffic array At the start of the snapshot, the mobile and cell powers are initialised to

    zero to initialise the noise on the uplink and downlink

    Other parameters, such as power control error, are set randomly on UE The first terminal in the list is tested for failure conditions. If it does not fail,

    then its Tx power and the Tx power of the cells to which it is connected, aremodified. The next terminal in the list is then tested for failure conditions,and so on.

    When the entire list has been tested, the simulator returns to the firstterminal and repeats the process until convergence is reached

    When convergence is reached, the results of the snapshot are appended tothe results of the overall simulation. The simulation moves on to the nextsnapshot

    When the simulation has completed all the specified snapshots, you canview your results using the arrays or view a summary of the data or reports
