of
radio
interface
technologies
for
This Report provides guidelines for both the procedure and the criteria (technical,
spectrum and service) to be used in evaluating the proposed IMT-Advanced radio
interface technologies (RITs) or Sets of RITs (SRITs) for a number of test
environments and deployment scenarios for evaluation. These test environments are
chosen to simulate closely the more stringent radio operating environments. The
evaluation procedure is designed in such a way that the overall performance of the
candidate RIT/SRITs may be fairly and equally assessed on a technical basis. It
ensures that the overall IMT-Advanced objectives are met.
It provides, for proponents, developers of candidate RIT/SRITs and evaluation
groups, the common methodology and evaluation configurations to evaluate the
proposed candidate RIT/SRITs and system aspects impacting the radio performance.
It allows a degree of freedom so as to encompass new technologies. The actual
selection of the candidate RIT/SRITs for IMT-Advanced is outside the scope of this
Report.
The candidate RIT/SRITs will be assessed based on these evaluation guidelines. If
necessary, additional evaluation methodologies may be developed by each
independent evaluation group to complement the evaluation guidelines. Any such
additional methodology should be shared between evaluation groups and sent to the
Radiocommunication Bureau as information in the consideration of the evaluation
results by ITU-R and for posting under additional information relevant to the
evaluation group section of the ITU-R IMT-Advanced.

9868133450
19
Options foreseen for groups carrying out evaluations:
−
Self-evaluation is mandatory for complete evaluation i.e. to provide a fully complete
compliance template of the technology proposal.
−
An external evaluation group performs complete or partial evaluation of one or
several technology proposals to assess the compliance of the technologies with the
minimum requirements of IMT-Advanced.
−
Evaluations covering several technology proposals are encouraged.
Characteristics for evaluation
Technical characteristics chosen for evaluation are explained in detail in Report ITU-R
M.2133 and include Requirements, Evaluation criteria and Submission templates for the
development of IMT-Advanced including
Service aspect requirements based on Recommendation ITU-R M.1822,
Spectrum aspect requirements, and
Requirements related to technical performance based on Report ITU-R M.2134.
Summary captured in following Table together with the high level assessment method:
−
Simulation (including system and link-level simulations as per the principles of
simulation procedure)
−

Evaluation methodology
Evaluation should be performed in strict compliance with technical parameters provided by the
proponents and the evaluation configurations specified for the deployment scenarios.

Each requirement should be evaluated independently, except for the cell spectral efficiency and cell
edge user spectral efficiency criteria that shall be assessed jointly using the same simulation
Candidate RITs also shall fulfill the corresponding minimum requirements jointly.
System simulation used in the mobility evaluation should be the same as the system simulation for
cell spectral efficiency and cell edge user spectral efficiency.
Evaluation methodology should include the following elements:
a)
Candidate RIT/SRITs should be evaluated using reproducible methods including computer
simulation, analytical approaches and inspection of the proposal.
b)
Technical evaluation of the candidate RIT/SRITs should be made against each evaluation
criterion for the required test environments.
c)
Candidate RIT/SRITs should be evaluated based on technical descriptions that are submitted
using a technologies description template.

22
For good comparability of the evaluation results for each proposal, following solutions and
enablers are taken into account:
−
Use of unified methodology, software, and data sets by the evaluation groups
wherever possible, e.g. in the area of channel modelling, link-level data, and link-tosystem-level interface.
−
Evaluation of multiple proposals using one simulation tool by each evaluation group
is encouraged.
−
Question-oriented working method that adapts the level of detail in modelling of
specific functionalities according to the particular requirements of the actual investigation.
Evaluation of cell spectral efficiency, cell edge user spectral efficiency and VoIP capacity
of candidate RIT/SRITs takes into account, the Layer 1 and Layer 2 overhead information
provided by the proponents which may vary when evaluating different performance
metrics and deployment scenarios.

System simulation procedures
System simulation principles followed :
−
Users are dropped independently with uniform distribution over predefined area of the network layout
throughout the system. Each mobile corresponds to an active user session that runs for the duration of the
drop.
−
Mobiles are randomly assigned LoS and NLoS channel conditions.
−
Cell assignment to a user is based on the proponent’s cell selection scheme, which must be described
by the proponent.
−
The minimum distance between a user and a base station as defined .
−
Fading signal and fading interference are computed from each mobile station into each cell and from
each cell into each mobile station (in both directions on an aggregated basis).
−
Interference over thermal parameter is an uplink design constraint that the proponent must take into
account when designing the system such that the average IoT value experienced in the evaluation is equal to
or less than 10 dB.
−
In simulations based on the full-buffer traffic model, packets are not blocked when they arrive into the
system (i.e. queue depths are assumed to be infinite).
−
Users with a required traffic class shall be modelled according to the traffic models defined
−
Packets are scheduled with an appropriate packet scheduler(s) proposed by the proponents for full
buffer and VoIP traffic models separately. Channel quality feedback delay, feedback errors, PDU (protocol
data unit) errors and real channel estimation effects inclusive of channel estimation error are modelled and
packets are retransmitted as necessary.

scenarios of the following test environments:
−
Indoor: an indoor environment targeting isolated cells at offices
and/or in hotspot based on stationary and pedestrian users.
−
Microcellular: an urban micro-cellular environment with higher
user density focusing on pedestrian and slow vehicular users.
−
Base coverage urban: an urban macro-cellular environment
targeting continuous coverage for pedestrian up to fast vehicular
users.
−
High speed: macro cells environment with high speed vehicular
and trains.

In the rural/high-speed, base coverage urban and microcell cases, no specific
topographical details are taken into account.
Base stations are placed in a regular grid, following hexagonal layout.
A basic hexagon layout for the example of three cells per site is shown in Figure
where also basic geometry (antenna boresight, cell range, and inter-site distance
ISD) is defined.
The simulation will be a wrap-around configuration of 19 sites, each of 3 cells.
Users are distributed uniformly over the whole area.
The amount of channel bandwidth used in a link direction that is used in the
simulation is defined as the product of the spectrum bandwidth identified in the
tables (Tables 8-5, 8-6, 8-7) as “simulation bandwidth” and the frequency reuse
factor, when conventional frequency reuse scheme (e.g. 3-cell and 7-cell frequency
reuse) is considered.
The cell spectral efficiency, cell edge user spectral efficiency, and VoIP capacity
are calculated taking into account the amount of channel bandwidth used for each
link direction.

3GPP Feature & Study Item list in Release 10,11, 12 and 13
Public statement issued by 3GPP's Project Coordination Group (PCG),
during their meeting on April 3rd, 2013 is as below:
“3GPP defines the standards for LTE, with the latest work focusing on LTEAdvanced, which includes all work from 3GPP Release 10 onwards.
3GPP recognises that in the marketplace a number of differing terms
related to LTE are appearing. 3GPP reaffirms that the naming for the
technology family and its evolution continues to be covered by the term
LTE-Advanced, which remains the correct description for specifications
currently being defined – from Release 10 onwards, including 3GPP
Release 12.
The Partnership Project is working with its members and in coordination
with the ITU Working Party 5D to be able to provide future guidance on how
3GPP LTE will progress in future Releases.”

and
requires a fallback
to 1xRTT when a
voice call is placed

Notes: All speeds are theoretical maximums and will vary by a number of factors, including the use of
external antennas, distance from the tower and the ground speed (e.g. communications on a train may be
poorer than when standing still). Usually the bandwidth is shared between several terminals. The
performance of each technology is determined by a number of constraints, including the spectral
efficiency of the technology, the cell sizes used, and the amount of spectrum available.
