This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing data throughput requirements, the cellular network needs to move from homogeneous to heterogeneous system. In fact, the coexistence of different types of base stations with different capabilities such as femto/pico base stations as well as relays and macro base stations in random placements should improve the coverage and the spectral effciency of the cellular networks. However, the complexity of inter-cell interference management will grow drastically and traditional interference voidance/mitigation approaches need to be revised. Approaching this problem at the user equipment (UE), is of great interest since it can rely on little coordination among base stations. The work presented in this thesis focuses on a downlink interference cancellation at the UE and shows that such an intelligent receiver can bring its promised benefitt only if the base stations get involved in the interference cancellation, specically in the channel estimation process. The limitations of this approach are evaluated and depending on the surrounding base stations two solutions are proposed and discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new era of mobile communications is dictated by the user demand for robust and high speed connections, data hungry applications and seamless connectivity. Operators and researchers all over the world are challenged to fulfill these requirements by providing enhanced coverage, increased capacity and efficient usage of the scarce spectrum. The introduction of the fourth generation systems (4G), LTE and LTE-A, have set the initiative for a technology evolution that offers new possibilities and is able to satisfy the user requirements and overcome the imposed challenges. However, and despite the improvements brought by the LTE and LTE-A systems, there are certain constraints that still need to be surpassed. LTE for example adopts innovating technologies, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) that improves the spectral efficiency and reduces the Intra-Cell Interference. Nevertheless, Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) remains a constraining factor that can degrade the system capacity and limit the overall performance of the network. On that respect, Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) techniques are adopted with target the interference mitigation. One of the limitations of these techniques is that follow static configurations lacking of flexibility and adaptation on network changes. Moreover, LTE-A employs enhanced and new techniques and involves alternative strategies. A promising solution lies on the introduction of Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), which are networks that include low power small cells under the already existing macro cellular network and exploit several other technologies, such as WiFi. HetNets can further improve the network capacity, enhance the coverage and provide higher speed data transfer. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of the network, traditional methods for the user association, resource allocation and interference mitigation may not always be suitable since their design was based on homogeneous deployments. As such, new and enhanced methods are introduced, such as enhanced ICIC (eICIC), with their accompanied requirements and challenges. Motivated by the abovementioned aspects, this thesis has been focused on the study of ICIC and eICIC schemes, the identification of the related challenges, the enhancement of existing schemes and the proposal of novel solutions. In particular in the initial stages of the work, ICIC techniques have been studied and analyzed. A distributed algorithm that performs dynamic channel allocation has been developed for homogeneous deployments and extended later on to include heterogeneous networks. The solution has been optimized with the use of the Gibbs Sampler, while the setting of algorithm related parameters has been addressed through a detailed analysis. Moreover, a possible implementation of the solution has been presented in detail. The efficiency of the proposed schemes has been demonstrated through simulations and comparisons with benchmark schemes. In the next steps, the work has targeted eICIC techniques with purpose the investigation and analysis of the main constraining issues related to the user association, resource management and interference mitigation. Novel eICIC schemes that aim a better resource management and the overall capacity improvement have been developed and presented in detail, while the performance of the solutions has been shown through simulations and comparisons with reference schemes. Moreover, an optimized eICIC solution has been implemented based on genetic algorithms. Simulation results and comparisons with reference schemes have demonstrated the efficiency of the solution, while the selected configurations are discussed and analyzed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive summary of theoretical and practical developments in LTE Heterogeneous Networks The last decade has witnessed the proliferation of mobile broadband data and the trend is likely to increase in the coming years. Current cellular networks are ill equipped to deal with this surge in demand. To satisfy user demand and maximize profits, a new paradigm to operate networks is needed. Heterogeneous networks, that deploy an overlay of small cells with limited coverage and transmit power, over a macro coverage area is the solution by providing capacity and coverage where it is needed. This book presents a comprehensive overview of small cell based heterogeneous networks within the framework of 3GPP LTE-Advanced which is the major enabler of current and future heterogeneous networks. The book first establishes the basics of LTE standards 8 -10. Wherever relevant, the underlying theory of wireless communications is explained and the signaling and protocol aspects of LTE Releases 8-10 are presented. Next the book presents a systematic study of the inter cell interference (eICIC and FeICIC) mechanisms that have been standardized in LTE releases 10 and 11 to mitigate the interference arising in heterogeneous networks. From simple blank subframe design and implementation, the book discusses more advanced transceiver signal processing and carrier aggregation (CA) based mechanisms to improve performance. Besides data, control channel enhancements such as enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH) are also discussed. Subsequently the book discusses the possibility of base stations being allowed to coordinate to manage interference. This technique, called CoMP, has the potential of vastly improving network performance. However several practical challenges first have to be overcome before this potential can be realized. The book presents the different CoMP categories introduced in LTE release 11, the required signal processing and the changes that were introduced in Release-11 for supporting CoMP. The book then presents the state of the art developments in heterogeneous networks that are currently taking place in 3GPP with the initiation of Release 12. A whole array of new technologies have been introduced such as dynamic switching of small cells, new carrier types with reduced control signaling, dynamic reconfiguration of TDD-LTE, joint configuration of TDD and FDD via carrier aggregation and lastly advanced MIMO signal processing with three dimensional beamforming. All these technologies will work in unison leading to efficient operations of small cells. The authors thus comprehensively summarize the advances in heterogeneous networks over the last couple of years as reflected in various LTE releases and then look ahead at what to expect in the future. Fully illustrated throughout and with an accompanying website including Matlab code for simulating heterogeneous networks, LTE channel models, and References to 3GPP specifications, contributions, and updates on recent standardization activities.

Download or read book Coordination Strategies for Interference Management in MIMO Dense Cellular Networks written by Sandra Lagén Morancho and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The envisioned rapid and exponential increase of wireless data traffic demand in the next years imposes rethinking current cellular networks due to the available spectrum scarcity. In this regard, 3 main drivers are considered to increase the capacity of today's most advanced (4G) and future (5G and beyond) cellular networks: use more bandwidth (more Hz) through spectral aggregation, enhance the spectral efficiency per base station (BS) (more bits/s/Hz/BS) by using multi-antenna (i.e. MIMO) systems, and increase the density of BSs (more BSs/km2) through a dense and heterogeneous deployment. We focus on the last 2 drivers. First, the use of MIMO systems allows exploiting the spatial dimension for improving the capacity of a conventional point-to-point link, increasing the number of served users, and reducing unwanted emissions (interference). Second, dense heterogeneous networks are a simple and cost-effective way to boost the area spectral efficiency by densifying the network and improving the spatial re-use of the spectrum. However, increasing the BSs density entails two main technical challenges: the interference increases because neighboring BSs/users are nearer and the amount of data traffic, as well as downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) traffic asymmetry, varies over space and time more drastically since the number of users per BS is reduced. The increase of interference makes the development of efficient interference management techniques a key enabler for MIMO dense heterogeneous networks. On the other hand, the variability of the per-BS traffic amount and the DL/UL traffic asymmetry convert flexible duplexing (i.e. flexible allocation of DL/UL resources per BS) into a necessity for an efficient resource usage. Therefore, the development of resource management schemes capable of adapting to the varying traffic load, as well as interference management, becomes crucial. Accordingly, this thesis focuses on the development of advanced interference management techniques to deal with inter-cell interference in MIMO dense networks and on the design of traffic- and interference-aware resource management schemes for flexible duplexing systems in asymmetric traffic conditions. To these goals, the wide deployment of MIMO systems is capitalized to develop advanced multi-antenna signal processing techniques when full reuse of time and frequency resources among densely deployed BSs is adopted. In the first part, different statistical characterizations of the transmitted signals are analyzed to improve the capacity of wireless interference-limited MIMO channels. Advanced signaling schemes are developed and the use of improper Gaussian signaling (IGS) is investigated, which allows exploiting the real and imaginary dimensions of MIMO channels. Majorization theory is exploited to demonstrate the strict superiority of IGS. In the second part, transmit coordination strategies are proposed to manage interference in extremely dense cellular networks. The design of BSs transmit strategies (involving design of spatial transmit/receive filters, power control, and user scheduling) is coordinated to optimize different network functions while reducing the stringent requirements needed for channel estimation in dense networks. Coordination strategies for the case in which different signaling schemes coexist in the network are also derived. Further, coordination strategies for cluster-based joint transmissions are developed, where BSs are grouped into clusters and different clusters interfere to each other. The third part focuses on the design of traffic- and interference-aware duplexing techniques to make a better use of the available resources by taking into account the asymmetric traffic conditions that arise in dense networks and managing the new kinds of interference that come up under flexible duplexing. Short-term and long-term optimizations are investigated, being therefore the interference managed instantaneously and statistically, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To cope with the ever-increasing cellular traffic demand, the heterogeneous network is introduced to densify the cells for places where that is most needed. However, heterogeneous deployment with a mixture of base-stations of different capabilities also imposes great challenges for inter-cell interference management. In Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems, for example, radio resources can be shared in time, frequency and spatial domain, providing us with the flexibility for interference avoidance or suppression. But finding a near-optimal solution in such a complex system can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, with reasonable computational complexity. In this dissertation, we tackle the interference management in heterogeneous cellular networks under different system constraints, application scenarios and/or with different kinds of quality-of-service (QoS) metrics. In this context, we investigate four major problems. In the first problem, we address the throughput optimization with shared resources of macro and femto cells. Since the femto base-stations can be operated in closed mode implying that only a specific group of users have access to its service, significant downlink interference can be incurred to a nearby macro user equipment (MUE) with poor resource management. We proposed a stochastic approximation based scheme by allowing feedback in the macro-tier to be overheard by the femto tier without explicitly estimating the cross-tier channel gains. In the second problem, we model the network as a queueing system with dynamically generated traffic. For less delay-sensitive traffic, we can control the power for each resource element to maximize the average throughput given the constraint that the backlog for the macro-cell queue is not unbounded. Using Lyapunov drift analysis, we provide both a centralized and a distributed solution for femtocell power control utilizing macrocell queue length information. In the third problem, we further incorporate fairness into our consideration. To achieve better fairness than that obtained by purely optimizing total throughput, we provide a joint power control and resource allocation scheme to minimize the maximal outage probability constrained on macrocell user equipments' outage requirements. This ensures better interference management by providing uniform user experience for all femtocell users. In the last topic, we treat different nodes as agents participating in a game either independently or in a coordinated way. In a pure non-cooperative game, each base station maximizes its own profit in the form of sum throughput towards all users associated with it. The spectrum efficiency can be much improved with careful design and signal passing across nodes. When each base station has private information, the optimization problem is essentially an auction game. When a centralized powerful entity exists as for the case of a cloud-based radio access network (C-RAN), radio resources can be managed in a semi-centralized way with each node bidding for the services. Using this model, we provide different schemes to achieve joint user association and resource management considering the trade-off between complexity and performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief presents interference coordination techniques for future 5G cellular networks. Starting with an overview of existing interference management techniques, it focuses on practical interference coordination schemes based on beamforming and user scheduling. The proposed schemes aim to deal with the inter-cell interference in multi-cell MIMO networks, cross-tier interference in device-to-device communications underlaying cellular network, and inter-network interference in cognitive radio networks. The performances of the proposed schemes are evaluated both analytically and numerically in terms of several performance parameters, including the sum rate, multiplexing gain, and outage probability of the networks. The results show that the proposed schemes can significantly reduce the effect of interference and improve the quality of service of the networks. Interference Coordination for 5G Cellular Networks is suitable for researchers and advanced students interested in interference coordination or 5G cellular networks.

This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth discussion on how to efficiently manage resources of heterogeneous wireless networks and how to design resource allocation algorithms to suit real world conditions. Efficiently managing resources of the networks is more crucial now, than ever before, to meet users’ rapidly increasing demand for higher data rates, better quality-of-service (QoS) and seamless coverage. Some of the techniques that can be incorporated within heterogeneous wireless networks to achieve this objective are interworking of the networks, user multi-homing and device-to-device (D2D) communication. Designing resource allocation algorithms to suit real world conditions is also important, as the algorithms should be deployable and perform well in real networks. For example, two of the conditions considered in this book are resource allocation intervals of different networks are different and small cell base stations have limited computational capacity. To address the first condition, resource allocation algorithms for interworking systems are designed to allocate resources of different networks at different time-scales. To address the second condition, resource allocation algorithms are designed to be able to run at cloud computing servers. More of such conditions, algorithms designed to suit these conditions, modeling techniques for various networks and performance analysis of the algorithms are discussed in the book. This book concludes with a discussion on the future research directions on the related fields of study. Advanced-level students focused on communication and networking will use this book as a study guide. Researchers and experts in the fields of networking, converged networks, small-cell networks, resource management, and interference management, as well as consultants working in network planning and optimization and managers, executives and network architects working in the networking industry will also find this book useful as a reference.
