Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA)
SC-FDMA is a new single carrier multiple
access technique which has similar structureand performance to OFDMA.
Utilizes single carrier modulation andorthogonal frequency multiplexing using DFT-
spreading in the transmitter and frequencydomain equalization in the receiver.
A salient advantage of SC-FDMA overOFDM/OFDMA is low PAPR.
Efficient transmitter and improved cell-edge performance.

MIMO enhancementsImproved MIMO transmission
Gain for additional diversity becomes smaller- Anyway not always wanted e.g. frequency selective
scheduling
Gain from spatial multiplexing only is questionable
- limited to hotspot and indoor environments (small cells,scattered propagation environment, very low user mobility)
- Still the only way to achieve the very high peak data rates
Spatial multiplexing in general needs high SNR regions
Use of beam forming combined with spatial multiplexingwithin different beams could be most beneficial .

Downlink MIMO transmission
- 4 UE receive antennas and 4x4
MIMO could become baseline-Downlink peak data rates achievedby the use of 8x8 MIMO
(reference signals for 8 antennas
required)Uplink MIMO transmission
- 2 UE transmit antennas and 2x2MIMO could become baseline
- Uplink peak data rates achieved bythe use of 4x4 MIMO
Increase peak data rate, but also
coverage and capacity .
