Overview: Push to Talk (PTT)
• PTT over GPRS– service has been available for over a year– it is the first true commercial VoIP over cellular service.
• Walkie-talkie-type service– focus on person-to-person rather than group call
• Simulator – GENeSyS• Performance Results

Push-to-Talk between Alice and Bob
• Alice (Originator)– Pushes the PTT button to talk with Bob– Waits for TPT (Talk-Permit-Tone)– Continues to hold button while speaking, – Releases when she is done
• Bob (Target)– Audio from Alice plays out – TPT “beep” indicates Alice has released her PTT button– Pushes the button and waits for TPT– Continues to hold button until he is done speaking
• Single user can transmit at given time (half-duplex channel)• Mobile plays “Bonk” if
– User is not available – Any other user is speaking
• Group Call: three or more users on single PTT call

Performance and Capacity
• User experience metrics– initial call setup delay – subsequent PTT delay– mouth-to-ear audio delay– audio turn around time – time from when Alice stops talking
until she hears Bobs response playing out. • Service Provider Business Metrics
– erlangs - average number of subscribers supported at sufficient user experience per
• RF carrier • network element• system
– system resources used per call

Impact of Increasing Number of Dedicated Slots1 Uplink timeslot mode, coding scheme 1-2, dedicated timeslot 1 to 6
• Trunking benefit similar to that of Erlang-B formula observed:
– Doubling the number of dedicated slots more than doubles the PTT capacity.
– For example, increasing number of dedicated slots from three, up to six, increases the capacity by 3.1x
• Capacities quoted correspond to knee of delay versus load curve

Impact of mobile station capability 1 Uplink timeslot mode Vs. 2 Uplink timeslot mode
• Increasing the number of uplink timeslots the mobile is capable of from 1 à 2 significantly improves performance: – Audio delay
• 1 UL timeslot: Light load ~2.0 sec and typical load ~2.4 sec
• 2 UL timeslot: Light load ~1.6 sec and typical load ~2.1 sec
• This benefit results from better fractional timeslot utilization with the improved mobile station capability – see next slide for visualization

• This benefit results from better fractional timeslot utilization with the improved mobile station capability
• Consider a system with 2 dedicated non–hopped slots, & three CS2 mobiles
• If 1 slot uplink capable à– Capacity = 2 PTTs or 1/TS
• If 2 slot uplink capable à– Capacity = 3 PTTs

Forward Channel Structure• HRPD-0 Forward Channel Fundamentals
– Time multiplexed channels• Pilot
– initial acquisition, phase & timing recovery, channel estimation & combining, – means for predicting received C/I for setting DRC (data rate control),
• MAC – three sub-channels (all users’ RPC+DRCLock CDMed along with RA)– Reverse Power Control (users RPC CDMed using MACIndex – size 64 Walsh)
» RPC data rate = 600*(1- 1/DRCLockPeriod) bps
– Reverse Activity (RA) à one reverse link bit (RAB) per slot (MACIndex=4)» combined busy bit (CBB) is set to 1 if any sector sets RAB=1 else CBB=0» CBB & Reverse link persistence value used by AT to determine max uplink rate allowed
– DRCLockà AN admission control – when asserted AT to stop selecting sector
• Traffic (Forward Traffic Channel or FTC)– PHY Packet based variable rate traffic channel, data rates 38.4 Kbps to 2.4576 Mbps– QPSK, 8-PSK, and 16-QAM modulation ---- R=1/5, 1/3 Turbo Codes– PHY Packet sizes: QPSK: 1024 & 2048 bits, 8PSK: 3072 bits, 16QAM: 4096 bits– Frame length from 1 to 16 slots, slot length = 1.67ms
• Control– Combines functions of IS -95 sync & paging channels w. rates of 38.4 & 76.8 Kbps– Transmitted 8 out of every 256 slots.

Forward Channel Structure
• No power control: full cell power when transmitting.– Time division nature of the burst versus code division for
cdma2000-1x• Scheduling done at access point (base station)
– Multi-user diversity benefit• Provision for receive diversity (two antennas) at Access Terminal

Forward Channel Structure • Transmit slots use a 4-slot interlacing technique. Subsequent transmissions
occur until decoding successful or maximum allowed re-transmissions.– Data sent @153.6 kbps is sent in four slots and repeated the following four
slots• Maximum # of re-transmissions is dependent on the data rate selected.• Users can be scheduled for consecutive slots.

VoIP over HRPD-A Capacity: Conclusions
• VoIP only capacity is balanced between forward and reverse links• 40-45 VoIP (Mobile to Mobile) Erlangs with a mixture of channels and 2 frame
bundling with Mobile to Mobile delay of less than 250 ms• Two frame bundling has slightly greater capacity to no-frame bundling• Inclusion of 1/8th rate frames significantly degrades VoIP Capacity
– Need to study the effect on MOS with various 1/8th rate frame blanking schemes– Trade-off between capacity and quality
• Two frame or no frame bundling is the desired mode of operation since gaps in speech will lead to inferior voice quality with loss of packets with frame bundling greater than 2.
• Mixture of VoIP and Web services can be supported.– Graceful degradation in data capacity as VoIP users are increased
• ~250 kbps of FL data traffic with 25 Erlangs in both directions⇒ Mobile diversity brings extra FL data throughput
• Advance receiver at the MS will further increase FL throughput• Work in progress includes
– Performance with both advanced receiver and RX diversity enabled in FL– Performance with 4-way RX diversity at BTS– Performance of RL with Interference Canceller

HSUPA Concept à lower delay & higher capacity
• High Speed Uplink Packet Access• E-DCH – enhanced uplink dedicated channel
– Fast Node-B scheduling with HARQ and IR • control & minimize Rise over Thermal (RoT) variation• avoid RLC re-transmission delay and benefit from previous tx energy
– #UEs per TTI depends on assignment of available RoT margin (left over R99/4/5)– Higher Rates
• BPSK or QPSK modulation• Variable length (64 to 2) symbol spreading

• Basic OFDM DL Waveform Requirements– Simple OFDM waveform construction
• Classical approach to OFDM waveform (inc. cyclic prefix) construction– Simplifies UE receiver and BS PA out-of-band emission control
• Low complexity baseline receiver, including simple extension to MIMO
• Design goal: – Occupied bandwidth ~90%– Inter sub-carrier separation ~11.6 kHz
• Consistent with target Doppler frequency range and BS/UE impairments– Regular scaling in time and frequency domains
• Integer sample cyclic prefix and guard sub-carrier allocations desirable but not essential when required to support flexible bandwidth modes

VoIP characteristics and requirements• VoIP traffic
– One packet every 20 ms (full, half, quarter, null)– Strict delay latency requirement (RF delay 70 ms in simulation)
• Outdated packets are dropped• Outage should be less than 1%
• Scheduling and resource allocation for VoIP– Channel adaptive only (e.g. proportional fair) scheduler does not perform good– Multi user diversity gain is less for VoIP– Delay constraint must be included in the scheduler– Similar scheduler for NRTSV has been applied for VoIP and performs good
• VoIP packet is usually small, but requires high transmission reliability– Small Packet size should be supported– High R ratio (spreading gain * (1/coding rate)) should be supported– Channel diversity (e.g. multiple antenna) can significantly improve the coverage and
capacity• Ped-B/Veh-A has higher capacity than flat fading
– Multiple user multiplexing is critical• OFDMA: 32 users in every 5 ms per sector• HSDPA: 4 users in every 2 ms per sector• DO-A: 8 users in every 1.667 ms per sector
