Introduction of VAMOS modulation Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokia Corporation G1 Date: 05/05/2010 Release: Rel-9 B

Work item code: VAMOS

Use one of the following categories: Use one of the following releases: F (correction) R99 (Release 1999) A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release) Rel-4 (Release 4) B (addition of feature), Rel-5 (Release 5) C (functional modification of feature) Rel-6 (Release 6) D (editorial modification) Rel-7 (Release 7) Detailed explanations of the above categories can Rel-8 (Release 8) be found in 3GPP TR 21.900. Rel-9 (Release 9) Rel-10 (Release 10)

Reason for change:

VAMOS in downlink needs a new quaternary modulation to map the bits from the 2 subchannels on to the same symbol in downlink. The details of the new downlink modulation will be missing. 1.2, 6 (new) Y N X Other core specifications X Test specifications O&M Specifications 45.001, 45.002, 45.005, 45.008 51.021, 51.010

Modulation format for AQPSK

6.1 Modulating symbol rate

The modulating symbol rate is the normal symbol rate which is defined as 1/T = 1 625/6 ksymb/s (i.e. approximately 270,833 ksymb/s), which corresponds to 2*1 625/6 kbit/s (i.e. 541,666 kbit/s). T is the normal symbol period (see 3GPP TS 45.010).

6.2 Symbol mapping

The modulating bits are mapped to the quaternary symbols according to Table 5. Table 5: Mapping between modulating bits and quaternary symbols .

This is illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Mapping of modulating bits to AQPSK symbols The ratio of power between the Q and I channels is defined as the Subchannel Power Imbalance Ratio (SCPIR). The value of the SCPIR is given by SCPIR = 20 log10 ( tan ( ) ) dB . The value of shall be chosen such that
SCPIR 10 dB .

6.3 Start and stop of the burst

Before the first bit of the burst as defined in 3GPP TS 45.002 enters the modulator, the state of the modulator is undefined. Also after the last bit of the burst, the state of the modulator is undefined. The tail symbols (see 3GPP TS 45.002) define the start and the stop of the active and the useful part of the burst as illustrated in Figure 6. Nothing is specified about the actual phase of the modulator output signal outside the useful part of the burst.

Figure 6: Relation between active part of burst and tail symbols. For the normal burst (see 3GPP TS 45.001) the useful part lasts for 147 modulating symbols.

6.4 Symbol rotation

The symbols are continuously rotated with radians per symbol before pulse shaping, where = /2. The rotated symbols are defined as

i = si e ji s

6.5 Pulse shaping

i as represented by Dirac pulses excite the following linear pulse shaping filter: The modulating symbols s
c0(t), which is the linearised GMSK pulse as defined in subclause 3.5 for the normal symbol period.

The base band signal is

i c0 (t 'iT + 2T ) y (t ' ) = s
i

The time reference t' = 0 is the start of the active part of the burst as shown in figure 6. This is also the start of the symbol period of symbol number 0 (containing the first tail bit) as defined in 3GPP TS 45.002.

6.6 Modulation
The modulated RF carrier during the useful part of the burst is:

x(t ' ) =

2Es Re y (t ' ) e j ( 2f 0t ' +0 ) T

where Es is the energy per modulating symbol, f0 is the centre frequency and 0 is a random phase and is constant during one burst.
