A Comprehensive Survey of TDD-Based Mobile Communications Systems from TD-SCDMA 3G to TDLTE-Advanced 4G and 5G directions

TDD(Time Division Duplex) is one of the two duplex modes.TD-SCDMA(Time division Synchronous CDMA) is the first TDD-based cellular mobile system which is commercialized in wide area and large scale and TD-SCDMA is also the first cellular mobile system which adopted smart antenna technology,also called as beamforming.As the long term evolution of TD-SCDMA,TDLTE(A)(Time Division-Lone Term Evolution,and TD-LTE Advanced) introduced OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)and enhanced smart antenna technology together with MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output),which are adopted by LTE FDD(Frequency Division Duplex) either.It is indicated that TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE(A)have opened a sustainable utilization era of TDD and smart antenna Technologies in the wireless mobile communication.This paper aims to present a systematic introduction to TDD-based mobile communications from TD-SCDMA to TD-LTE and beyond and its comparisons to FDD,with particular focuses on TDD key technologies,principles of TDD cellular mobile systems,TDD evolution path,and future TDD 5G directions.We hope that this paper will provide a comprehensive overview of TDD technology upgrade and its standard evolution,and serve as a valuable reference for research on 5G mobile communication systems.It is believed that TDD will play more important role in 5G.

Coordinated multi-point transmission technique in TDD cellular mobile system

Coordinated multi-point transmission/reception, CoMP, technique converts the interference signal into the useful information by controlling the interfering signals among adjacent cells. Theoretically, it is a breakthrough from the traditional interference limited non-cooperative single point transmission system, improving link reliability and enhancing the data rate. CoMP is regarded as one of the most essential and effective techniques in eliminating the inter-cell interference, boosting cell edge throughput and overall system throughput. CoMP technique has obvious advantages in TDD(time division duplexing) cellular mobile system; the necessary channel state information for CoMP can be easily obtained through channel reciprocity property in TDD system. CoMP scheme in TDD system and likely problems are analyzed in this paper, and it is shown by system simulations that the significant gain can be achieved.

Enhanced Beam-forming Technique

In TD-SCDMA, due to single-stream beam-forming, there is a limit in peak data rate and the spatial multiplexing is not possible. In LTE-A or B3G, the requirements for the peak data rate and the cell throughput is very high, multi-streams beam-forming and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) are effective measures to meet these requirements. In this paper, enhancement of beam-forming technique is presented to support the multi-streams beam-forming and the SDMA.
