Scenarios and Requirements for 5G-NR
• Deployment Scenarios
• Indoor Spot: Focus on small coverage per site/TRP (transmission and reception point) and
high user throughput or user density in buildings.
• Dense Urban: Focus on macro TRPs with or without micro TRPs and high user densities and
traffic loads in city centres and dense urban areas.
• Rural: Focus on larger and continuous coverage (for high speed vehicles).
• Urban Macro: Focus on large cells and continuous coverage.
• High Speed: Focus on continuous coverage along track in high speed trains.
• Extreme rural for the Provision of Minimal Services over long distances: Allow the Provision
of minimal services over long distances for Low ARPU and Low density areas including both
humans and machines.
• Extreme rural with extreme Long Range: allow for the Provision of services for very large
areas such as wilderness or areas where only highways are located primarily for humans.
• Urban coverage for massive connection: Focus on large cells and continuous coverage to
provide mMTC.
• Highway Scenario: Focus on scenario of vehicles placed in highways with high speeds.
• Urban Grid for Connected Car: Focus on scenario of highly densely deployed vehicles placed
in urban area.

3GPP TR 36.932: "Scenarios and Requirements for Small Cell Enhancements for E-UTRA and E-UTRAN"
工研院版權所有 Copyright©2016 ITRI. All rights reserved. 23 5
Challenges and Solutions
• Challenges in small cell deployments
• Mobility robustness
• Increased signalling load due to frequent handover
• Improving per-user throughput
• Dual connectivity is the operation where a given UE consumes radio resources
provided by at least two different network points connected with non-ideal
backhaul (Scenario 2).
• Strong Interference from macro on the same carrier is not present.
• Signalling overhead towards the CN can potentially be saved by keeping the mobility
anchor in the macro cell.
• Inter-node resource aggregation is used to improve per-user throughput.

General Introduction of Rel-12 Dual Connectivity
• E-UTRAN supports Dual Connectivity (DC) operation whereby a multiple RX/TX
UE in RRC_CONNECTED is configured to utilise radio resources provided by two
distinct schedulers, located in two eNBs connected via a non-ideal backhaul over
the X2 interface.
• eNBs involved in DC for a certain UE may assume two different roles: an eNB may
either act as an MeNB or as an SeNB.
• MeNB: Master eNB
• In dual connectivity, the eNB which terminates at lease
S1-MME.
• SeNB: Secondary eNB
• In dual connectivity, the eNB that is providing additional
radio resources for the UE, but is not the Master eNB.

Mobility
• In LTE, xSS based mobility is used for inter-cell mobility. The xSS contains the cell-
id (PCI), and the UE reports the PCI together with the cell quality determined
based on CRS.
• In LTE, RS-set based mobility is used in COMP scenario 4 (intra-cell). The UE
measures on the configured RE’s, which could contain UE dedicated or common
RS, and reports the measured quality.
• RAN2 understanding of RAN1 agreement: There is an "xSS" (similar as LTE cell
specific RS). On the "xSS" there is at least a NR Cell Id. The xSS is at least used in
idle.

Mobility
• Two levels of network controlled mobility:
• 1: RRC driven at 'cell' level.
• 2: Zero/Minimum RRC involvement (e.g. at MAC /PHY)
