Chapter 9: LTE URLLC

Abstract

This chapter describes the evolution of the LTE technology toward Ultra-Reliable-Low-Latency-Communications. It starts by providing a background as to why such a substantial step in evolving the LTE technology was taken. The background is followed by a detailed description of the changes both to the physical layer design and idle and connected mode procedures. This involves everything from how the physical channels are in detail designed to the resource allocation used. The chapter is written assuming the reader has some basic LTE knowledge, and describes mainly the changes introduced on top of ‘legacy LTE’
