4 Background and introduction
The 7.68Mcps TDD option is an evolution of the 3.84Mcps TDD option to a higher chip rate. There exists a great degree of commonality between the 3.84Mcps TDD option and the 7.68Mcps TDD option. Nevertheless, there are many aspects of the 7.68Mcps TDD option that require separate specification to the 3.84Mcps TDD option. The following aspects are specified at a high level in this document:
- Physical layer structure;
- Physical layer procedures;
- UE capabilities;
- Layer 2/3 protocol aspects;
- Iub / Iur aspects;
- Radio aspects;
5 Requirements Word‑p. 8
- The 7.68Mcps TDD option shall provide significant enhancements in terms of user experience (throughput and delay) and/or capacity (at least to the extent shown in [1]).
- Full mobility shall be supported, i.e., mobility should be supported for high-speed UE cases also, but optimisation should be for low-speed to medium-speed scenarios.
- It is highly desirable for the 7.68Mcps TDD option to maintain commonality with the 3.84Mcps TDD option. New features shall therefore provide significant incremental gain for an acceptable complexity.
- The UE and network complexity shall be minimised for a given level of system performance.
- The impact on current releases in terms of both protocol and hardware perspectives shall be taken into account.
