Abstract

While Long Term Evolution-Frequency Division Duplexing (LTE-FDD) is regarded as one of the strong candidates for "4G" wireless broadband access in FDD field, LTE-Time Division Duplexing (TDD) is emerging as one possible migration path for WiMAX-TDD in some cases as well as the migration path for Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA). In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of dual mode with LTE-TDD in two combinations: dual mode LTE-FDD/TDD and dual mode Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)-TDD/LTE-TDD. Thanks to the commonality in numerology, terminology, and frame structure between LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD, dual mode LTE-FDD/TDD looks feasible in a cost-effective manner. Thanks to the commonality in scheduling algorithm, control mechanism, and supported spectrum bands, it is shown that dual mode WiMAX-TDD/LTE-TDD looks feasible as well. It should be also noted that the commonality in numerology and frame structure is critical for building a chip while the commonality in algorithms and control mechanisms is critical to make it work.

FDD를 사용하는 영역에서는 LTE-FDD가 "4G" 무선 광대역 엑세스의 강력한 후보기술의 하나로 여겨지는 한편, 최근 LTE-TDD가 TD-SCDMA의 진화 경로 및 일부 경우에는 WiMAX-TDD에 대한 진화 경로로서 떠오르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LTE-TDD에 관하여 다음의 두 가지 조합의 듀얼모드 구현에 대한 실현가능성을 분석한다: 듀얼모드 LTE-FDD/TDD 및 듀얼모드 WiMAX-TDD/LTE-TDD. LTE-FDD 및 LTE-TDD 사이의 시스템 파라미터, 용어사용 및 프레임 구조에서의 공통성에 따라 듀얼모드 LTE-FDD/TDD가 비용면에서 효율적으로 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 또한, 스케줄링 알고리즘, 제어 메카니즘 및 지원하는 스펙트럼 대역에서의 공통성에 따라 듀얼모드 WiMAX-TDD/LTE-TDD 역시 비용면에서 효율적으로 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 시스템 파라미터 및 프레임 구조에서의 공통성은 칩을 구현하는데 매우 중요한 부분이며, 알고리즘 및 제어 메카니즘에서의 공통성은 구현된 칩이 얼마나 잘 동작하느냐에 매우 중요한 부분임을 주목한다.
