Feasibility study on possible additional configuration for LTE TDD
The objective of the study is to evaluate issues related to the potential introduction of the following additional configuration(s) for LTE TDD; 10:0:0 and 9:1:0 (DL:Sp:UL). This includes:
- Identify the scenario(s), frequency band(s), and use cases(s) of the possible additional TDD configuration(s)
- Coexistence with adjacent standalone LTE TDD operations in the same band
- To be compared with the coexistence between intra-band adjacent LTE TDD operations using different UL/DL configurations
- Evaluation of the potential benefits and drawbacks of the additional TDD configuration(s) and possible solutions to mitigate the potential drawbacks
- Any other relevant ecosystem aspect(s)
- Compare the option of using 10:0:0 and/or 9:1:0 TDD configuration for a TDD spectrum against the alternative of converting the TDD spectrum to FDD supplemental DL spectrum
NOTE: The study shall not provide any recommendation on next steps / future normative work.
