Coverage Enhancement Techniques

1. Repetition w/HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat request)2. Frequency Hopping (LTE-M only)3. Frequency Selective Scheduling (LTE-M only)4. Downlink Power Spectral Density (PSD) Boosting5. Improve time/frequency/channel estimation

– Redundancy version cycling– Improved scrambling methods

Narrow band or Sub-PRB (used by NB-IOT and LTE-M in Rel15) is NOT a coverage techniqueit mainly increases UL spectral efficiency

Page 10: 3GPP LPWA Standards: LTE-M, NB-IoT & EC-GSM · 2017-10-29 · 3GPP LPWA Standards: LTE-M, NB-IoT & EC-GSM LPWA Roadshow Melbourne, 14 September 2017 Tyrone van Schalkwyk Senior Technical

Expected Coverage Performance

• 3GPP Maximum Coupling loss (MCL) Targets:

– MCL depends on Noise Figure(NF) and Power Amplifier (PA) power

– EC-GSM/NB-IOT: Target 164dB assumed NF 3dB, PA 23dBm

– LTE-M: Target 156dB assumed NF 5dB, PA 20dBm

– LTE-M: Target 161dB assumed NF 3dB, PA 23dBm

• LTE-M Coverage Mode A and Mode B

KEY TAKEAWAY• Similar MCL targets• Targets were exceeded• All provide 164dB MCL (or +20dB gain)

• all three power saving techniques are used but PSMis the most important

• 87% of signalling overhead has been removed• implementation matters!! especially boot time!• 35X reduction in power

PSM - Power Saving ModeLets the device “hibernate” between data transmissions while remembering its network state (no need to re-register)Power consumption in hibernation: 4 μAGain on battery lifetime: x2 (compared to shutting modem off)Ex: Tx 670 bytes / Rx 350 bytes on 2500mAh AA battery1 transmission every 1 hour1 transmission every 6 hours1 transmission every 24 hours

=> 1 year battery life=> 5 years battery life=> 19 years battery life

Power consumption for 1 data transmission - With PSM

Power consumption for 1 data transmission - Without PSM (coming from “OFF” state)
