Mapping Between Uplink Transport Channels <strong>and</strong> Uplink Physical Channels. 198C.2.2.2.2FRAME STRUCTURE AND NUMEROLOGYAll b<strong>and</strong>width options have the same Transmission Time Interval (TTI), which has been agreed to be 1millisecond (ms). This was chosen to enable very short latency with L1 Hybrid ARQ combined with goodcell edge performance. The channel coding in E-UTRAN is based on turbo codes. Uplink transmission isorganized into radio frames with the duration of 10 ms. Two radio frame structures are supported. Type 1is applicable to both FDD <strong>and</strong> TDD <strong>and</strong> Type 2 only for TDD. Frame structure type 1 consists of 20 slotsof length 0.5 ms numbered from 0 to 19. A subframe is defined as two consecutive slots. For FDD, 10subframes are available for downlink transmission <strong>and</strong> 10 subframes are available for uplinktransmissions in each 10 ms interval. Uplink <strong>and</strong> downlink transmissions are separated in the frequencydomain. Frame structure of Type 1 is shown in Figure C.25.One slot, T slot= 15360×T s= 0.5 msOne radio frame, T f= 307200×T s=10 ms#0 #1 #2 #3 #18 #19One subframeFigure C.25. Frame Structure Type 1. 199Other key parameters have relationships with the multiple access method, such as the 15 kHz subcarrierspacing of OFDM. This selection is a compromise between support of high Doppler frequency, overheadfrom cyclic prefix, implementation imperfections, etc. To optimize for different delay spread environments,two cyclic prefix values, 4.7 µs <strong>and</strong> 16.7 µs, are supported.Doppler will also impact the parameterization, as the physical layer parameterization needs to maintainthe connection at 350 km/h. However, it has been recognized that scenarios above 250 km/h are specificcases, such as the high-speed train environment. The optimization target is clearly the lower mobileterminal speeds, below 15 km/h, <strong>and</strong> performance degradation is allowed for higher speeds.
