Modulation and link adaptation
The different LTE modulation and codification schemes for supporting Cat 1-6 UEs
are supported. The SW integrates Link adaptation and Hybrid Automatic Repeat
Request. The following Modulation and Coding Schemes defined by the 3GPP LTE
Rel.11 are supported:
• QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation in Downlink
• QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation in Uplink
• Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) as per the 3GPP specifications
• Dynamic link adaptation in UL & DL based on CQI
• HARQ in DL and UL
• CQI correction and adaptation based on NACKs
MIMO and transmission modes
2x2 MIMO and PDSCH transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are supported.
Radio resource management
Radio Resource Management function is critical to provide the required service level
to the users. The Apex Lifestyle Small Cell includes admission control and congestion
control to guarantee that users receive the right service in high traffic conditions.
