University of Toronto, ECE1508 Winter 2013 Page 2 of 11 1) (6 points ) Answer the following questions: a) Describe the cell search procedure. b) Describe the random access procedure. c) Describe the timing advance procedure. d) Describe channel feedback reporting. e) Describe the difference between TDD and FDD LTE. f) What is a noise figure?
University of Toronto, ECE1508 Winter 2013 Page 3 of 11 2) (7 points ) Two Bell LTE base stations (W2015 and W1864) near the University of Toronto campus are shown in the picture below. If the UE is located at the position indicated by the pin “UE Location” , determine the following: a) Distance between the UE and the two basestations, if the distance between the basestations is 511.6 m and the angles shown in the picture are α = 24.3247 o and β = 11.1068 o . b) Pathloss from each basestation to the UE if the pathloss model is PL( d ) = 128.1 + 37.6 log10 ( d ), where d is in km. c) Geometry (SINR) at the UE location assuming that the thermal noise effect is negligible. Use the pathloss model given in b). d) Using the SINR from c), determine achievable data rates in the DL and UL using α -Shannon approximation. For the UL data rate calculation, assume 4 RBs are used and for the DL assume 10 MHz channel. α β γ

University of Toronto, ECE1508 Winter 2013 Page 5 of 11 3) (8 points ) An LTE UE is attached to an isolated cell and it reports RSRP = -105 dBm and RSRQ = -10 dB. If the system bandwidth is 10 MHz and the effective eNodeB transmit power is EIRP = 60 dBm, determine the following: a) RSSI and pathloss values for the given parameters. b) Determine the power per data subcarrier assuming that RS signals (pilots) use power boosting (data subcarriers and pilots have different power levels). c) If the pathloss model is PL( d ) = 128.1 + 37.6 log10 ( d ), where d is in km, determine the distance of the UE from the eNodeB. d) If the UE noise figure is NF = 9 dB, determine the SNR per individual data subcarrier for the given UE. e) Using the α -Shannon capacity formula for the DL, determine how much data can be carrier by each subcarrier.
