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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have shown that a large percentage of cellular voice and data traffic originate from indoor usage. The concept of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) consisting of traditional macrocells and newly envisioned small cells has been proposed to solve the indoor coverage problem and to offload some traffic from traditional macrocells. The heterogeneity in HetNets refers mainly tocoverage where, unlike macrocells, small cells are low power short range base stations that can be deployed by network operators or end users. The main challenge of the deployment of HetNets is theinter- and intra-tier interference when sharing the same spectrum. In this work, we study HetNet deployments in various scenarios and propose several algorithms for interference management and resource allocation in those scenarios. In the first part of the dissertation, we study HetNets operating in licensed cellular band. We study the two popular deployment scenarios of public/home femtocells and enterprise femtocells. For public/home femtocells, the main challenge we study is the inter-tier interference between femtocell base station (FBS) and macrocell user equipment (MUE) in downlink. We propose a spatial domain approach for interference management through MIMO precoding and develop three time-frequency domain approaches for interference management through resource allocation. The main theme of our work is to exploit the already-available feedback information in existing cellular systems for interference management and resource allocation in HetNets. On the other hand, in enterprise femtocell deployments such as shopping malls, stadiums, or corporate premises, the major challenge is intra-tier interference among femtocells. For enterprise environments, we present a partially centralized architecture for interference management among femtocells through graph coloring followed by local resource allocation for HUEs associated with each femtocell with consideration of fairness. Next, we present the concept of dual-access-technology small cells with both licensed and unlicensed band interfaces which represents another dimension of heterogeneity that can be thought of as vertical heterogeneity. The use of dual-access-technology small cells is motivated by the widespread WiFi hotspots and the common inclusion of WiFi interface in most cellular user terminals. For dual-access-technology small cells, we study public/home small cells as well as enterprise femtocells. We formulate an optimization problem that jointly allocates resources over both licensed and unlicensed bands with the goal of maximizing sum rate of small cell user equipments with fairness constraints together with controlling inter- or intra-tier interference to neighboring macrocell or femtocell users, respectively. An important feature that our proposed solution furtherconsiders is the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of different users traffic types to be distributed over licensed and/or unlicensed bands.

Download or read book Radio Resource Management for Mobile Traffic Offloading in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks written by Yuan Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief offers two concrete design examples for traffic offloading. The first is an optimal resource allocation for small-cell based traffic offloading that aims at minimizing mobile users’ data cost. The second is an optimal resource allocation for device-to-device assisted traffic offloading that also minimizes the total energy consumption and cellular link usage (while providing an overview of the challenging issues). Both examples illustrate the importance of proper resource allocation to the success of traffic offloading, show the consequent performance advantages of executing optimal resource allocation, and present the methodologies to achieve the corresponding optimal offloading solution for traffic offloading in heterogeneous cellular networks. The authors also include an overview of heterogeneous cellular networks and explain different traffic offloading paradigms ranging from uplink traffic offloading through small cells to downlink traffic offloading via mobile device-to-device cooperation. This brief is an excellent resource for postgraduate students studying advanced-level topics in wireless communications and networking. Researchers, engineers and professionals working in related fields will also find this brief a valuable resource tool.

Download or read book Interference Management in Heterogeneous Networks written by Min Sung Kim and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular wireless data traffic is now growing at about 80% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and hence creating a corresponding demand for additional capacity. This traffic growth in the developed world comes mainly from the increasing use of video file transfers or viewings. In the emerging countries, the increasing smart-phone penetration is an additional factor. The demand for capacity can be met by more spectrum, higher spectrum efficiency, and a greater number of cells. However, increasing spectrum and spectrum efficiency has proved to be slow because of both regulatory and technological barriers. Therefore, increasing the number of cells is an effective way to add capacity. Because of the diverse types of mobile data, the use of different tiers of cells has become necessary: high-power and high-capacity large macro cells to serve vehicle based users, medium-power and medium-capacity small pico cells for outdoor pedestrian users, and very low-power and low-capacity femto cells for indoor users. These cells often work together and are known as a heterogeneous network. The cells in a heterogeneous network often share the limited spectrum available to the operator. They reuse the spectrum across tiers as well as within the same tier. This inter-tier reuse creates interference, e.g., femto to macro interference. In addition, intra-tier interference arises from frequency reuse within a tier, e.g., femto to femto interference. Managing interference in heterogeneous networks is hence complex compared to the interference management of earlier single-tier macro cell networks, which is well understood. The research presented in this dissertation studied two interference management problems: inter-tier interference management between a macro cell and a femto cell, and intra-tier interference among femto cells. Chapter 2 presents the downlink femto-macro inter-tier interference management problem. This chapter proposes a cost criteria of maximizing the minimum (worst-case) rate of femto users while constraining the worst-case performance degradation of macro cell users caused by interference from the femto base station. Analysis shows that a combination of frequency (resource-block) allocation for femto users and power control of each resource block can lead to good results. Because the general joint resource block-allocation and power-control problem is very complex (NP-hard), a suboptimal method is developed using a decoupled resource allocation and power control. All these solutions were also verified by simulations. An analytical solution for the single femto user case also appears. Chapter 3 presents the management of downlink intra-tier interference in an enterprise femto network with multiple femto base stations. This chapter discusses admission of users to receive service, allocation of users to femto base stations, and the downlink power control to maximize the service rate while maintaining the QoS criteria, which specifies the worst-case 95th percentile download time of a file. The analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by simulation and also discusses naive (baseline) scheduling, which does not manage intra-tier interference, that leads to poor throughput as the density of femto cells increase. Last, this chapter explores a flexible user-base station association approach wherein the base station associated with a given user can be dynamically changed during a download period at network events. Such flexibility adds a significant performance improvement. Chapter 4 concludes the thesis by summarizing the results, discussing the limitations of the work presented, and making suggestions for future research.
