Physical Layer Specifications
Downlink: OFDMA
• High spectral efficiency
• Robust against frequency-selectivity / multi-path interference
• Inter-symbol interference contained within cyclic prefix
• Supports flexible bandwidth deployment
• Facilitates frequency-domain scheduling
• Well suited to advanced MIMO techniques
Uplink: SC-FDMA
• Based on OFDMA with DFT precoding
• Common structure of transmission resources compared to downlink
• Cyclic prefix supports frequency-domain equalisation
• Low Cubic Metric for efficient transmitter design

Reference Signals (RS)
In Rel-8, cell-specific RS are provided for 1, 2 or 4 antenna
ports
• Pattern designed for effective channel estimation
• Sparse diamond pattern supports frequency-selective channels and high-
mobility with low overhead
• Up to 6 cell-specific frequency shifts are configurable
• Power-boosting may be applied on the REs used for RS
• QPSK sequence with low PAPR
