1. LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation
Benefits, functionality, system impact, reference data, instructions of the feature.
With the LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature, it is possible to send
downlink (DL) data via two TX antennas. Its functionality is mainly designed for an indoor
radio planning.
1.1 LTE2115 benefits

The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature provides the following benefit:
connecting two non-overlapping indoor distributed antenna systems (DAS) to a single
remote radio head (RRH) which means reducing hardware costs for an indoor deployment
1.2 LTE2115 functional description

Before implementing the LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature, a two-pipe
RRH was connected with two one-path antenna systems (for example the DAS system). In
DL, the system worked in transmission mode 1 (TM1), but it duplicated transmission of the
same data simultaneously for both antenna ports. In UL, the traditional 2RX maximum ratio
combining (MRC) could be used.
Figure 1: RRH scalability concept
The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature supports both 2RX MRC and 2Rx
interference rejection combining (IRC) receivers.
With the LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature, it is allowed to connect two
non-overlapping indoor DAS systems to a single 2TX RRH. In addition, the eNB supports a
dual TM1 operation with 2TX/2RX RRHs. Such a transmission can be applied to all eNB


configurations with 2RX/2TX RRHs. Identical data is sent from both TX ports for all cells with
TM1 configured. The UL signals received at both RX ports are processed by an MRC or, if
enabled, an IRC receiver.
Implementing the dual TM1 transmission twice ensures that all UEs in a cell measure the
reference signal received power (RSRP) properly.
1.3 LTE2115 system impact

LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation impact on features, interfaces, and
system performance.
Interdependencies between features

Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature:
LTE1089: Downlink Carrier Aggregation – 20 MHz
LTE48: Support of High Speed Users
The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature does not cooperate with the
following features:
4RX or 4TX features
LTE72: 4-way RX Diversity
LTE980: IRC for 4 RX Paths
LTE1691: Uplink Intra-eNB CoMP 4Rx
LTE568: DL Adaptive Closed Loop MIMO (4x2)
carrier aggregation features
LTE1562: Carrier Aggregation for Multi-carrier eNodeBs
LTE1803: Downlink Carrier Aggregation 3 CC – 40 MHz
LTE2305: Inter eNodeB Carrier Aggregation for 2 Macro eNodeBs
LTE2233: N-out-of-M Downlink Carrier Aggregation
LTE2007: Inter-eNodeB Carrier Aggregation
LTE FDD super cell features
LTE1542: FDD Supercell
LTE2091: FDD Supercell Extension
high speed users


LTE495: OTDOA
A simultaneous activation of both LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation and
LTE495: OTDOA can result in an OTDOA positioning accuracy decrease.
Impact on interfaces
The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature impacts interfaces as follows:
Uu
This feature impacts the Uu interface in such a way that the same DL data is
transmitted via both TX antennas.
Impact on network management tools

The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature has no impact on network
management tools.
Impact on system performance and capacity

The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature impacts system performance as
follows:
DL performance: it remains the same for any 1TX cell (as long as a delay difference of the
distributed antenna systems does not exceed the cyclic prefix length)
UL performance: it can be restricted due to an effective 1RX operation (for example,
even though the eNB uses both RX paths for the UL reception, a UE can receive UL signal
via only one DAS branch)
The LTE2115: Dual Transmission Mode 1 Operation feature has no impact on system
capacity.
