LTE TDD (TD-LTE) Planning and Optimization

LTE TDD (TD-LTE) needs special consideration from planning and optimization procedures due to its throughput restrictions based on the Downlink - Uplink (DL/UL) reduction factors and the DL/UL sync (cross-link) interference.

LTE planners and optimizers will have to consider special factor throughput and performance reductions before they evaluate cell and user performance.

LTE-TDD especially on C-band carriers is a very important solution NOT ONLY as a single LTE technology but rather as a dominant network deployment candidate for the well-known LTE-TDD/NR Non stand alone (NSA) architecture!

Following document will introduce engineers in the basic principles of LTE-TDD planning.
