Example of LTE Data FlowExample of LTE Data Flow
An example of DL data flow with three IP packets, two on one radio bearer and one on another

Radio Link ControlRadio-Link Control
RLC is responsible for segmentation & concatenation of IP packets (RLC SDU) from the PDCP into suitably sized RLC PDU (packet data unit)It also handles retransmission of erroneous PDUsFinally RLC ensures in-sequence delivery of SDUs to
lupper layers

Medium Access ControlMedium-Access ControlMAC layer handles logical-channel multiplexing, HARQ retransmission, uplink, and downlink schedulingA logic channel is defined by the type of information it carries and is generally classified as control channels and trafficand is generally classified as control channels and traffic channelsMAC layer uses service in the form of transport channel from y pPHY layerA transport channel is defined by how and with what characteristics the information is transmittedData on a transport channel is organized into TBs (transport blocks) In each TTI at most one TB is to be transmitted overblocks). In each TTI, at most one TB is to be transmitted over the radio interface (SISO case)Associated with each TB is a TF (transport format), specifying ( p ), p y ghow the TB is transmitted

MAC header and PDU multiplexing
MAC operation in multiple component carriers
Control element: time-advance command & random-access response 9
Scheduler is part of MAC layer and controls the assignment of uplink and downlink resources, i.e., resource-block pairs (Resource block : time-frequency

CRC Insertion & SegmentationCRC Insertion & Segmentation
The Turbo-coder only allows a limited number of code-block sizes. Thus transport block is needed to be segmented into smaller code block.CRC per code block allows a early detection of erroneous code block
18
Turbo EncoderTurbo Encoder
Turbo coding is used for DL-SCH, PCH & MCH
A maximum contention free QPP (QuadraturePermutation Polynominal) interleaver is used
19
Rate Matching & HARQRate Matching & HARQ
The task of RM & physical-layer HARQ is to fit the blocks of code bits into the exact set of code bits in a given TTI/subframe
20
Bit level ScramblingBit-level Scrambling
The purpose of bit-level scrambling is to avoid the interference from neighboring cellsBit-level scrambling is performed by multiplying (exclusive-or operation) the coded bits with a scrambling sequence

DL L1/L2 Control RegionDL L1/L2 Control Region
The control region always occupies the first one, two, or three OFDM symbolsDL L1/L2 consists of
PCFICH: inform the size of control regionPDCCH: DL scheduling assignments & UL scheduling
tgrantPHICH: HARQ acknowledgement
24
Numbering of resource-element groups in the control region
PCIFICH (1/2)PCIFICH (1/2)
PCIFICH (Physical Control Format Indicator Channel) consists of 2 bits, indicating the control size regionPCIFICH is divided into 4 REG (Resource Element Group) and is mapped to the first symbol of each subframe
25
PCIFICH (2/2)PCIFICH (2/2)
4 REGs are spread to achieve frequency diversity
26
PHICHPHICH
Used for transmitting HARQ ACK in response to UL-SCHEach PHICH is code spread on multiple Res to reduce power differences between Res (PHICH can be dynamically power adjusted to reduce error rate)
27
PDCCHPDCCH
PDCCH is used to carry DCI (downlink control information) including
DL scheduling assignmentsUL scheduling grantsPower control commands
( & )LTE allows distributed RB allocation (type 0 & 1) as well as localized RB allocation (type 2)

Frequency contiguous mapping is preferred to retain good PAPR properties
In R10, two frequency-separated clusters are introduced to increase scheduler flexibility

UL L1/L2 control signaling consists of HARQ acknowledgement, channel state report to assist DL scheduling, and scheduling requestWhen the terminal doesn’t have a valid scheduling grant, PUCCH is used for control signal transmissionPUCCH l d t th d f ll tPUCCH are placed at the edge of overall spectrum
