The Second meeting of satrc working Group on Spectrum 12-13 December 2011 Colombo, Sri Lanka

LTE and Wimax technologies are available since 2009/2006.

• LTE and LTE-Advanced Technologies

• LTE and Wimax technologies are available since 2009/2006.
• Current versions are called ‘LTE-Advanced’ and WirelessMAN Advanced respectively.
• Qualifies IMT-advanced technologies make use of same key technologies:
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDMA)
• Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and
• System Architecture Evolution (SAE)

• The Second meeting of SATRC Working Group on Spectrum
• 12-13 December 2011 Colombo, Sri Lanka

Uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas, which allow independent channels to be created in space.

• Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)

• Uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas, which allow independent channels to be created in space.
• Various Approaches for MIMO:
• Space diversity:- to improve the communication reliability by decreasing the sensitivity to fading by picking up multiple copies of the same signal at different locations in space.
• Beamforming:- antenna elements are used to adjust the strength of the transmitted and received signals, based on their direction for focusing of energy.
• Spatial Multiplexing:- Increased capacity, reliability, coverage, reduction in power requirement by introducing additional spatial channels that are exploited by using space-time coding

Based on the idea of dividing a given high-bit-rate data stream into several parallel lower bit-rate streams and modulating each stream on separate carrier – often called sub-carriers or tones.

• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)

• Based on the idea of dividing a given high-bit-rate data stream into several parallel lower bit-rate streams and modulating each stream on separate carrier – often called sub-carriers or tones.
• Multi-carrier modulation scheme minimize inter-symbol interference (ISI) by making the symbol time large enough so that the channel-induced delays are an insignificant (<10%) fraction of the symbol duration.
