An Overview of the LTE Wireless Broadband Communications

Dr. Amitava Ghosh, Motorola Corporation

2-4 p.m. Friday, September 19, 2008

Room 301 Coordinated Science Laboratory


                                                      ABSTRACT

LTE is anticipated to be the market dominant standard for 4G wireless
broadband
communications by 2012.   This seminar will consist of two one-hour parts,
with
a short break in the middle.

Part I:  LTE Multiple Antenna System: Performance and Antenna
Structures: This presentation
takes a look at different multiple antenna schemes for LTE downlink
and uplink.  The presentation
also discusses various BTS antenna configurations and summarizes the
performance of different multi-antenna schemes under various
scenarios.

Part II:  LTE time division duplex (TDD) and comparison to LTE
frequency division duplex (FDD): This presentation is focused on
overview of LTE TDD design and highlights key differences with LTE
FDD.
Design challenges unique to TDD are presented together with adopted
technical solutions.
Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate typical TDD
system performance with data applications.


Short Biography of Amitava Ghosh

Amitava joined Motorola in 1990 after receiving his Ph.D in
Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
 Since joining Motorola he worked on eight different wireless
technologies starting from IS-95, cdma-2000, 1xEV-DV/1XTREME,
1xEV-DO, UMTS, HSPA, 802.16e/WiMAX/802.16m, Enhanced EDGE and 3GPP
LTE. Recently, he led the effort from Motorola's side in defining
3GPP LTE physical layer standards from the concept phase to the
adopted baseline.

Amitava has 37 issued patents and numerous external and internal
technical papers.  He is the reviewer of IEEE communications society
and book reviewer for a popular WiMAX book.  Currently, he is Fellow
of Technical Staff in Network Advance Technology, Motorola Home and
Networks Mobility and works in the area of current and future
air-interface technologies for 802.16m, 3GPP LTE and other broadband
technologies. His research interests are in the area of digital
communications, signal processing and wireless communications. He is
a senior member of IEEE and associate member of Motorola Science
Advisory Board.
