Technical solutions for the 3G long-term evolution

TLDR
Promising technologies to fulfil 3G evolution targets are presented, including OFDM, multi-antenna solutions, evolved QoS and link layer concepts, and an evolved architecture, indicating that the requirements can indeed be reached using the proposed technologies.
Abstract
Work has started in the 3GPP to define a long-term evolution for 3G, sometimes referred to as super-3G, which will stretch the performance of 3G technology, thereby meeting user expectations in a 10-year perspective and beyond. The fundamental targets of this evolution - to further reduce user and operator costs and to improve service provisioning - will be met through improved coverage and system capacity as well as increased data rates and reduced latency. This article presents promising technologies to fulfil these targets, including OFDM, multi-antenna solutions, evolved QoS and link layer concepts, and an evolved architecture. Furthermore, the results of a performance evaluation are presented, indicating that the requirements can indeed be reached using the proposed technologies.

Single carrier FDMA for uplink wireless transmission

TL;DR: Among the possible subcarrier mapping approaches, it is found that localizedFDMA (LFDMA) with channel-dependent scheduling (CDS) results in higher throughput than interleaved FDMA (JFDMA), however, the PARR performance of IFDMA is better than that of LFDMA.

A future radio-access framework

TL;DR: A packet-centric approach is taken for the dataflow processing, implying that the scheduling mechanism and the retransmission protocol operate on complete packets rather than segments thereof, thus allowing for cross-layer optimization.

Broadband packet wireless access incorporating high-speed IP packet transmission

TL;DR: This paper proposes broadband packet wireless access focusing on the data link layer incorporating the IP-based core network, employing variable spreading factor-orthogonal frequency and code division multiplexing (VSF-OFCDM) with two-dimensional spreading that prioritizes time domain spreading in the forward link and multi-carrier/DS-CDMA in the reverse link for the system beyond IMT-2000.
