Introduction
Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA)

promising technique for high data rate uplink communications in


future cellular systems, which is a modified form of Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA). SC-FDMA is a modified form of OFDM with similar throughput performance and complexity.

Cont..
This is often viewed as DFT-coded OFDM where time-

domain data symbols are transformed to frequency-domain


by a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) before going through the standard OFDM modulation.

Draw backs of OFDM


The OFDMA waveform exhibits very pronounced envelope

fluctuations resulting in a high peak-to-average power ratio


(PAPR). Another problem with OFDMA in cellular uplink transmissions derives from the inevitable offset in frequency references among the different terminals that

transmit simultaneously.

Cont..
A major problem with OFDM and OFDMA is high

peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)


Transmitted amplitude with large variation Requires a linear amplifier at transmitter Linear amplifies consumes high power OK at base station

For mobile station, this consumes battery


LTE uses a solution for UL: SC-FDMA Single carrier transmission

Overview Overview of SC-FDMA of SC-FDMA


SC-FDMA is a new multiple access technique.

Utilizes single carrier modulation, DFT-spread orthogonal


frequency multiplexing, and frequency domain equalization.

It has similar structure and performance to OFDMA.

TX and RX structure of SC-OFDMA

Cont..
SC-OFDMA is implemented in LTE using a Discrete Fourier Transform Spread OFDM transmission (DFTSOFDM) which is commonly referred to as a frequencydomain generalization of SC-FDMA.

The DFT is used to multiplex uplink transmissions in


specific frequency allocation blocks within the overall system bandwidth according to eNodeB scheduler

instructions.

SC-FDMA Process
After modulation, apply FFT
Each symbol is on a subcarrier Put the subcarriers on selected location and apply IFFT Back to single carrier transmission Now add CP Receiver will do the reverse

Why Single Carrier FDMA ?

Sub Carrier mapping


Two ways to map subcarriers; distributed and localized.
Distributed mapping scheme for (total # of subcarriers) = (data block size) x (bandwidth spreading factor) is called Interleaved FDMA (IFDMA).

Sub Carrier mapping


Data block size (N) = 4, Number of users (Q) = 3, Number of subcarriers (M) = 12.

Sub Carrier mapping

Localized Vs. Distributed

Less frequency diversity Low rate user may block a high-rate (broadband) user from the channel, especially if channel dependent

Larger frequency diversity Low-rate and high-rate users coexist peacefully

scheduling is used

SC-FDMA implementation in 3GPP LTE


LTE Frame Structure
Two radio frame structures defined. Frame structure type 1 (FS1): FDD. Frame structure type 2 (FS2): TDD.
A radio frame has duration of 10 ms. A resource block (RB) spans 12 subcarriers over a slot duration of 0.5 ms. One subcarrier has bandwidth of 15 kHz, thus 180 kHz per RB.

UL physical signals
Reference signal (RS) Available modulation for data channel QPSK, 16-QAM, and 64-QAM

UL Resource Block

UL Reference Signal
Two types of UL RS
The first is Demodulation Reference Signals (DM-RS) which are used to enable coherent signal demodulation at the eNodeB. The second is Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) which is used to allow channel dependent (i.e. frequency selective) uplink scheduling as the DM-RS cannot be used for this purposes since they are assigned over the assigned bandwidth

to a UE.

Channel Dependent Scheduling


Another benefit for OFDMA The Base Station talks to many users at different directions Their fading channels are independent Subcarriers with high attenuation for user 1 may have good gain for user 2

Uplink resource scheduling in SC-FDMA systems


Channel-dependent scheduling Assign subcarriers to a user in excellent channel condition. Two subcarrier mapping schemes have advantages over each other. Distributed: Frequency diversity. Localized: Frequency selective gain with CDS.

CDS(Channel Dependent Scheduling)

Summary and Conclusions


SC-FDMA is a promising technique for high data rate uplink communication in future cellular systems. Among the possible subcarrier mapping approaches, localized FDMA (LFDMA) with channel-dependent scheduling (CDS) results in higher throughput than interleaved FDMA (IFDMA).
