We are very
happy to establish this
new partnership with
ZTE and together build
a future-proof network
which will benefit both
Promontes customers
and the environment.

ontenegro is located in
southeastern Europe and
has a coast on the Adriatic
Sea. With its picturesque coast and
a mountainous northern region, the
country is a popular tourist destination.
The Telenor Group, headquartered in
Norway, is the sixth largest provider of
telecommunications services worldwide,
and its subsidiary, Promonte, is
Montenegros largest mobile operator.
Promonte is 100% owned by Telenor
and its mobile subscriptions account for
50% of the population. As Montenegos
tourism industry has developed, its
mobile market has grown rapidly so that
mobile penetration now exceeds 200%.
Promontes networks were costly to
maintain and did not support smooth
upgrade to LTE, so the company decided
to upgrade its existing network to grow
and consolidate its market share. After
a vigorous selection process by Telenor
and Promonte, ZTE was chosen as
the sole vendor for the upgrade of the
2G/3G network (with some sites being
upgraded to LTE in 2013). ZTE supplied
high performance IP Transport Network

Interview
to World-Class Excellence
Zeng Xuezhong has been Senior Vice President of ZTE since 2006.
He graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelors degree in
engineering in 1996, and with an EMBA in 2007. Mr. Zeng joined
Zhongxingxin in 1996. Between 1997 and 2006, he acted as Senior
Project Manager, Assistant to the Regional General Manager, Manager of
Guiyang and Kunming Branches, Deputy General Manager and General
Manager of the Second Sales Division, and Vice President of ZTE. Since
August 2006, he has been Senior Vice President of ZTE overseeing the
Third Sales Division. Mr. Zeng has many years experience in the telecom
industry, including more than 10 in managerial positions.

investment on 3G services, operators
will come under increasing pressure to
drive down network investment cost
and improve ROI, cited Cheney Ji,
consultant of ICT practice, Frost &
Sullivan.
Green network results in lower
operational cost. ZXONE 8000 can be
deployed in core layer optical network.
It recorded power consumption of
34.650W and 27.455W per 10G

LTE-A
Carrier aggregation
To reach the required peak rates,
LTE-A supports a maximum bandwidth
of 100MHz. Such high bandwidth is
hard to find in the available spectrum
resource, and also poses a great
challenge to hardware design of
eNodeB and User Equipment (UE).
Moreover, a key technique is needed
to fully utilize spectrum scattered on
various frequency bands. To meet these
requirements, CA has been introduced

into LTE-A.
CA supports both continuous and
non-continuous Component Carrier
(CC), as shown in Figure 1. This not
only improves peak data rates and
system throughput, but also addresses
the issue of spectrum discontinuity.
Asymmetric carrier aggregation is
also supported in LTE-A. In a typical
scenario of asymmetric carrier
aggregation, downlink bandwidth is
larger than uplink bandwidth.
To allow compatibility with LTE,
LTE-A Rel-10 specifies that each CC
adopts existing LTE bandwidth and
is backward compatible with LTE. In
LTE-A Rel-11 or above, other nonbackward compatible carriers will be
introduced. In practical scenarios for
carrier aggregation, one or more CCs
can be scheduled per UE depending
on the transmission requirement and
capability.
Enhanced MIMO
Multi-antenna technology improves
channel capacity and spectral efficiency
by expanding transmission dimension.
In LTE-A, more antennas are supported
in the uplink and downlink, and MultiUser Multi-Input Multi-Output (MUMIMO) is enhanced in the downlink,
as shown in Figure 2.
Compared with LTE Rel-8 (which
supports single-antenna transmission),
in the uplink, LTE-A supports up to
four transmit antennas. For the Physical
Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), up
to two codewords and four layers are
supported with Single-User MultiInput Multi-Output (SU-MIMO). For
the Physical Uplink Control Channel
(PUCCH), transmission quality is
improved through transmit diversity.
In the downlink, the number of
transmit antennas is expanded from
four to eight, and up to two codewords

Relay
In relay transmission, a relay
node or relay station is introduced
between eNodeB and UE. The relay
node is connected to eNodeB via a
wireless link. In the downlink, data is
transmitted from eNodeB to relay node,

CoMP
In LTE-A, CoMP is considered a
useful tool for improving high-data-rate
coverage, cell-edge throughput, and
system throughput in both heavy and
light load scenarios.
CoMP involves uplink CoMP
reception and downlink CoMP
transmission. Uplink CoMP reception
improves cell-edge user throughput
by joint multi-cell reception of user
data, and this has very limited impact
on RAN1 specifications. Depending
on whether traffic data is obtained
