Study Notes

Wireless Communication Networks: LTE, LTE-Advanced, and 5G

The lecture covers wide area wireless access, including cellular networks from 1G to 5G.
LTE-Advanced is an improvement over 3GPP Release 8, with key features like carrier aggregation and enhanced MIMO.
Carrier aggregation combines up to 5 component carriers for a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz.
Enhanced MIMO supports up to 8 parallel layers or multi-user MIMO for up to 4 mobiles to receive signals simultaneously.
Relaying uses relay nodes to extend the coverage area of an eNodeB, functioning as a new base station with smaller cell radius.
Heterogeneous networks use small cells for low-powered access nodes and macro cells for typical cellular coverage.
Coordinated Multipoint Transmission and Reception (CoMP) manages intercell interference and scheduling across distributed antennas and cells.
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) uses IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for voice over IP streams and Rich Communication Services (RCS) for additional services.
5G aims to cater to services with diverse requirements and uses key enabling technologies like software-defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV).
5G overall architecture includes several deployment scenarios, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC).
SDN separates control and data planes for network programmability, while NFV decouples network functions from hardware.
The lecture includes review questions on topics such as cellular network organization, frequency reuse, handoff process, and comparison of generations.
