The introduction of the upcoming GERAN evolution feature package in current GSM/EDGE deployments offers operators significant boost in network capacity and mobile data users UMTS/HSPA like high speed packet data services along with competitive latency. Intelligent radio resource management supports novel dual-carrier capable mobile stations by dynamic configuration of GPRS/EDGE packet data channels...
Applying relaying concept to a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) mobile network is not a new idea, and many systems employing relaying capabilities have been suggested. The power control (PC), which is an important aspect of UMTS, can be applied in such a mobile system, either in a centralised or a distributed fashion. An increase in the system capacity is expected, when utilised in...
We present early results from a 4times4 2.4 GHz ISM band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) testbed developed at the University of Newcastle for over-the-air evaluation of MIMO algorithms. To provide maximum flexibility for development of 3 GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) algorithms, the testbed is designed around a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The testbed features a simple GUI interface...
The E-DCH transport channel uses multi-code transmission together with a special kind of QPSK modulation (BPSK modulation on I and Q axis) to achieve high throughput. On frequency selective channels the orthogonality between the spreading codes is lost and inter-code-interference (ICI) arises. This interference limits performances in case the base stations have a classical receiver (Rake), especially...
This paper describes concretely the assessment of the GSM900 Base station transmission influence on UMTS900 Equipment receiver in coordinated deployment case according to some spectral masks in reception. This work is based on theoretical approaches which quantify the GSM interference level and shows the filter importance in coexistence issues between UMTS900 and GSM900. In order to minimize the GSM...
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of open-loop precoding MIMO (multiple input multiple output) using a testbed targeted at IMT-Advanced systems. Open-loop MIMO is realized by applying rotational OFDM (R-OFDM), that is previously proposed by authors, to MIMO transmission. MIMO R-OFDM is more robust with respect to correlated channels than conventional open-loop MIMO-OFDM, because it optimizes...
We present a model for multiuser multi-input multi-output (MIMO) high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) with covariance based linear precoders. The linear procoders, which are designed for single stream detection with rake receivers, are independent of the equalizers employed in multiple antenna receivers to support multistream detection. These symbol based equalizers are designed to minimize the...
We analyze the performance of voice services over 3GPP WCDMA networks for Release 99 and Release 7 deployments. We show, by using simulations, that the system capacity of Release 7 VoIP is significantly higher than the Release 99 circuit-switched voice under similar system conditions and voice quality. These results are obtained under the 3GPP simulation assumptions where uplink and downlink constraints...
This paper proposes a codebook based limited feedback zero-forcing(ZF) precoding scheme for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink channels. In such system, each user needs to calculate a channel directional index (CDI) and a channel quality indicator (CQI), feedback them to the base station (BS). BS selects the set of active users, and calculates transmit beams through zero forcing...
