In Uplink Coordinated multipoint (Uplink CoMP) schemes as in LTE [1], multiple base-stations (EnodeBs) receive signals from the same user equipment (UE). Combining this information appropriately using the backhaul is known to yield high gains, especially when the interference avoidance is used across the EnodeBs in CoMP. We consider a load-balanced, dense, small-cell deployment where a UE may be connected...
Power ramping is one of the mechanisms proposed to help alleviate congestion during random access in LTE cells. We evaluate its performance taking into account preamble SINR considerations as well as Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) deficiency. Our results show that power ramping can speed up access at small to moderate loads, but that it is actually detrimental at moderate to high loads,...
Narrowband satellite communications (SATCOM) in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band is an attractive option within the military SATCOM (MILSATCOM) community. The UHF user terminals (UTs) are typically low cost, easily deployable and have broad beamwidths so that precise pointing to the satellite is not a requirement for mobile users. At the same time, some inherent disadvantages of UHF SATCOM are...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as one of the focal points in the evolution of cellular networks, and has motivated the introduction of several features that facilitate Machine-Type Communications (MTC) in LTE networks. These features serve the MTC goals of reduced User Equipment (UE) modem cost and complexity, Coverage Enhancement (CE) to support UEs in remote radio locations, and an improved...
The newly imposed heterogeneous statistical delay- bounded quality of service (QoS) provisioning, which refers to the different/variable delay-bounded QoS guarantees among different wireless links, for the fifth-generation (5G) mobile multimedia wireless networks has received much research attention recently. The heterogeneous statistical delay- bounded QoS provisioning can be classified into two...
