LTE Basic interview questions:

 
If I were Interviewer, the followings are questions:
1. What is LTE?
Answer: Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a 4G wireless broadband technology developed by the Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), an industry trade group. LTE provides significantly increased peak
data rates, with the potential for 300 Mbps downlink (with 4x4 MIMO, 20MHZ) and 75 Mbps uplink
(20MHZ), reduced latency, scalable bandwidth capacity, and backwards compatibility with existing GSM
and UMTS technology.

2. What's the difference between 3G & LTE?


Answer:

3. What's the benefit of LTE?


Answer:

4. What's technology applied in LTE? (Both in UL and DL)


Answer: for DL it uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and for UL it uses SC-
FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access)

5. What's the max. Throughput we can achieve from LTE?


Answer: 300 Mbps downlink (with 4x4 MIMO, 20MHZ) and 75 Mbps uplink (20MHZ)

6. In the market, which type/category of UE are available now?


Answer: Cat 4 supports 2 layers of spatial multiplexing.

7. Do you have any experience in LTE dimensioning/planning and drive testing? If so, please kindly answer the
following questions?
1. What is main frequency band for LTE?
Answer: RJIL LTE band?

2. In coverage planning, what are the most influence factors?


3. In 3G, RSCP and Ec/Io are used to determine coverage planning. How's about in LTE? And why?
4. What are the range of SINR, RSRP, RSRQ, MCS and CQI values?

Answer:
The higher the CQI (ranging from 0 up to 15) the higher the modulation and coding
scheme and the higher the throughput. 

5. What is the typical cell range of LTE?


6. How do you understand RB and how does RB impact on Throughput?
7. What is the typical value of latency?
6. What are the type of HO? If so, pls. explain me a bit of best cell HO and coverage HO?
7. For HO, pls. explain me the difference between HO via X2 and S1?
8. Do we still need Scrambling code planning in LTE? If not, why?
9. Please explain me about eNodeB, MME and core network layout.
10. For capacity planning, do we still need Channel element (CE) dimensioning? If not, why?
11. Have you experience in Atoll and Momentun?
12. Have you experience in XCAL and Agilent NiXT?
13. Please explain me about QoS and Scheduling in LTE?
14. Pls. explain me about MIMO, SIMO and TxDiV configuration?
15. How's about those configuration and expected throughput? If you can answer above questions, you will be in
short list
