3GPP Release-13 whitepapers and presentations

With 3GPP Release-13 due early/mid next year, there has been a flurry of presentations and whitepapers on this topic. This post provides some of these. I will try and maintain a list of whitepapers/presentations as part of this post as and when released.

1. June 2015: LTE Release 13 and road to 5G - Presented by Dino Flore, Chairman of 3GPP RAN, (Qualcomm Technologies Inc.)



2. Sep 2015: Executive Summary - Inside 3GPP Release 13 by 4G Americas



3. June 2015: Mobile Broadband Evolution Towards 5G: 3GPP Rel-12 & Rel-13 and Beyond by 4G Americas

4. April 2015: LTE release 13 – expanding the Networked Society by Ericsson

    The 4G Americas whitepaper contains the following LTE-Advanced topics:

    * Active Antenna Systems (AAS), including elevation beamforming enhancements and Self-Organizing Network (SON) aspects for AAS
    * Enhanced signaling to support inter-site Coordinated Multi-Point Transmission and Reception (CoMP)
    * Carrier Aggregation (CA) enhancements to support up to 32 component carriers
    * Dual Connectivity (DC) enhancements to better support multi-vendor deployments with improved traffic steering
    * Improvements in Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing
    * Enhancements to Machine Type Communication (MTC)
    * Enhancements to Proximity Services (ProSe)
    * Licensed Assisted Access for LTE (LAA-LTE), in which LTE can be deployed in unlicensed spectrum
    * LTE Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Aggregation (LWA) where the data bearer can be served by the LTE radio link and/or Wi-Fi through LTE-WLAN aggregation
    * Downlink Multi-User Superposition Transmission (MUST) for transmission of more than one data layer to multiple users without time, frequency or spatial separation

    HSPA+: enhancements are also addressed further in Rel-13, including:

    * Support for dual band Uplink (UL) Carrier Aggregation
    * Enhancements for reducing control channel overhead

    Other network-related services are also summarized in the paper, including:

    * Introduction of Wi-Fi integration enhancements to support Network-Based IP Flow Mobility (NBIFOM) and harmonize the support of voice and video services over Wi-Fi
    * Enhancements to support Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) over LTE, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) enhancements and group based enhancements (GROUPE) for public safety
    * Optimizing performance for MTC services by defining a Dedicated Core (DECOR) and Monitoring Enhancement (MONTE)
    * User Plane Congestion Management (UPCON) features which enable the identification of cells and users in congested situations so that policy decisions can be used to mitigate congestion
    * Application Specific Congestion Control for Data Communication (ACDC) to manage access attempts on a per application basis
    * Architecture Enhancements for Service Capability Exposure (AESE) to expose valuable information to third party application providers
