The introduction of TM9 eliminates restrictions previously imposed by reference signal overhead on LTE multiple-antenna evolution and is a prerequisite for FDD beamforming and coordination features. TM9-based multiple-antenna technology significantly expands cell capacity and improves the experienced data rate and cell edge user experience. TM9 multiple-antenna technology is a major LTE evolution feature, and similar technologies will be used in future 5G era network. The TM9 industry has quickly matured, and large-scale commercial deployments will occur in 2018. 3
After deployment during nearly a decade, LTE now carries approximately 80% of the MBB traffic and has become the fundamental network to provide MBB services. Over the next decade, the number of LTE users will continue to significantly grow. GSMA estimates that there will be a net increase of around 3 billion LTE users by 2025. Meanwhile, traffic demand keeps growing from web browsing to HD video. The data of usage (DOU) in some countries already exceeds 10 GB/month. DOU (GB/Month) Source: Huawei The 5G non-standalone (NSA) NR specifications have been frozen on December 21, 2017. These specifications define LTE as a basic bearer of 5G NSA. LTE technologies will evolve along with 5G NR to fulfill the requirements of 5G users for consistent service experience. 4
Benefiting from a wide network coverage, a huge base of users, and a large number of UE models, LTE will still remain the major network technology providing MBB services over the next decade. In addition, LTE traffic is expected to grow several folds. Hence, improving LTE capacity is critical.

Various technologies and solutions have been developed to meet the growing demand for more capacity, such as bandwidth expansion and site densification. However, these approaches have limitations. For example, bandwidth cannot be expanded indefinitely, and site acquisition is getting more arduous. Multiple-antenna technology has been introduced to make a new way to ensure smooth capacity expansion. Multiple-antenna technology, also known as MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output), uses multiple transmit and receive antennas and spatial multiplexing technology to significantly achieve coverage and capacity gains resulting in improved user experience without additional spectrum required. The following figure shows an M×N MIMO system consisting of M transmit antennas and N receive antennas. Transmitter Tx #1 Rx #1 Receiver Encoder Decoder #M #N MxN MIMO 6
4-antenna technology has been introduced since the initial stage of LTE development. 4x4 MIMO supports simultaneous transmission of up to four data streams, almost doubling the peak rate of 2x2 MIMO. Impressed by the large gains offered by 4T4R, there are already around 150 4T4R networks deployed globally up to now. Even if UEs have only two antennas, which means maximum data stream number transferred to this UE cannot exceed two, 4x2 MIMO can still achieve a much higher average throughput than 2x2 MIMO. This is because a 4-antenna eNodeB obtains more accurate channel measurement results and feedback, and produces more spatial diversity gains. Average perceived throughput gains offered by 4x2 MIMO in contrast with 2x2 MIMO 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 75.5% 46.1% 16.1% 4×2 MIMO/light load 4×2 MIMO/medium load 4×2 MIMO/heavy load (10%) (50%) (70%) More antenna ports multiply the peak UE throughput and cell capacity. Multiple-antenna evolution has consequently become a major LTE evolution path. 7
