Management of Interference Is the solution designing for LTE network to reduce inter symbol interference (ISI) and intercell interference (ICI) using the frequency reuse schemes which has the objective to maximize the coverage area and provide more capacity in cells, especially in cell edge. Based on those propositions, this paper analyzes the process of optimizing subcarrier and power allocation...
4G/LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the state of the art wireless mobile broadband technology. It makes use of the OFDM technology to offer high speed and provides the system resources both in time and frequency domain. A scheduling algorithm running on the base station holds the allocation of these resources. In this paper, the performance of existing downlink scheduling algorithms has been investigated...
In this paper, we investigate the performances of schedulers, which basically allocate the resources to multiple users based on different algorithms, in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based cellular wireless networks. In addition to conventional OFDMA resources which are time and frequency, antennas are also considered as resource during...
A method for off-peak transfer of data, by which user equipment (UE) autonomously shifts a peak load on a base station, is proposed and evaluated. In regard to the proposed method, how UE monitors the load on a base station is a significant problem. To solve this problem, a novel method of passively estimating the resource block (RB) usage rate of a serving cell on the basis of radio conditions measured...
Unlimited voice services no longer command premium pricing, but are viewed as “table stakes” in a broader service offering that must now include multimedia (voice, data, video) communications with a mobility component. As a result of this shift, many service providers are trying to adopt, Long Term Evolution (LTE) network strategy to deliver this multimedia experience to their subscribers [1]. Today,...
In this paper we address the challenge of multiuser scheduling in the downlink of Long Term Evolution (LTE) by bringing innovation in the concept of proportional fairness. We plug geometric average into the selection criterion of User Equipments (UEs) as opposed to widely used arithmetic average. We prove that the geometric average throughput converges to the solution of an ordinary differential equation,...
The main goal of this work is to use the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm to optimize Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) of cellular network systems. FFR is an interference management technique well suited to OFDMA based cellular network systems, such as Long Term Evolution system (LTE). This paper proposes a mechanism that selects the optimal value of inner cell region radius in strict FFR that maximize...
System latency is one key metric that guides LTE design. Shortening TTI by reducing subframe length along with backward compatibility design can bring significant latency gains for legacy LTE systems. In general, it is believed that the shorter TTI is, the more gain can be achieved. However, due to the hardware limitation as well as the implementation complexity, it is not easy for ultra-short TTI...
The importance of small cells deployments in cellular systems are becoming more apparent days after days since the benefits in terms of number of users that can be supported, the offered bandwidth and power consumption are obviously enormous as the wireless networks continue to get more congested. In this paper, a number of well-known scheduling schemes namely, Round Robin (RR), Proportional Fairness...
The efficient usage of scarce radio resource is the key factor of wireless networks, however there are some spare radio resource not being used such as the guard band for satellite system. In this paper, to reuse the guard band of satellite system, a new resource allocation scheme consisted of sub-carrier assignment and power allocation is proposed for LTE system to maximize its maximum throughput...
In LTE networks, even if two communicating UEs are closed enough, the traffic must go around core network. If Device-to-Device (D2D) communications used, two nearby UEs can directly exchange data, rather than passing core network to reduce loading of core network. However, D2D communications are not always gaining benefit. This paper proposes two mechanisms, namely Capacity-based scheme and Delay-based...
The mechanisms of allocating the resources in Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks are very critical issues, because scheduling algorithms have the main responsibility for determining how to allocate radio resources for different users. In this work a dynamically adopted Proportional Fair (PF) scheduling strategy for capacity enhancement of LTE system is proposed. Performance comparison with...
In rate-adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, limited feedback schemes are essential to reduce the number of subchannels for which the channel state information is fed back by the users. For the practically important best-M scheme, in which each user feeds back only its M strongest subchannels and their indices to the base station (BS), we derive a throughput-optimal...
In order to cope with the phenomenal growth of mobile data traffic, unlicensed spectrum can be utilized by the Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular systems. However, ensuring fair coexistence with WiFi is a mandatory requirement. In one approach, periodically configurable transmission gaps can be used to facilitate a coexistence between WiFi and LTE. In this paper, a Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) based dynamic...
The ever increasing number of mobile broadband users requires the availability of enhanced data services. Long Term Evolution or LTE is the evolution of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), which was standardized by third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 8 in order to meet the increasing demand of faster and more efficient mobile internet access today by supporting the larger bandwidth. This...
In this paper, we propose a distributed, self-organizing, adaptive and semi-static Soft Frequency Reuse based downlink Inter-Cell Interference Coordination scheme for an LTE system to increase the throughput of cell-edge users. Cells are able to self-organize the allocation of frequency sub-bands for cell-edge users using a distributed algorithm without requiring extensive pre-planning needed for...
LTE - A is a standard account for adaptive connectivity between supporting base stations (eNB) and corresponding radio head (RH). In this paper we elaborate on characterizing the effect of N-CoMP (Non-Coordinated Multi Point) and CoMP(Coordinated Multi Point) with interference. We analyses both technique in LTE-A network with two transmission point connectivity of UE. A significant performance improvement...
This paper, we evaluate the performance study of Long Term Evolution-LTE downlink with multiple input and multiple outputs (MIMO) system. MIMO transmissions schemes include transmit diversity and spatial multiplexing and MIMO detection schemes such as zero forcing and soft spheres decoding (SSD). The performance metrics considered are throughput and bit error rate (BER) and these are used to evaluate...
The LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology is expected to offer a number of distinct advantages over other wireless technologies. Scarcity of spectrum had encouraged regulator and provider to refarmed the spectrum. Spectrum refarming for LTE in 900MHz, 1800 MHz or 2100 MHz frequencies band is considered to trigger the potential degradation of existing services such as GSM and UMTS. The simulation's...
LTE is the next step of the broadband cellular technology evolution. It is referred as the fourth generation (4G) technology which offers better performance in throughput, latency, and spectral efficiency. It uses OFDM that is proven to combat inter-symbol-interference (ISI), multipath fading, and enabling scalable bandwidth allocation. Downlink LTE uses OFDM technology variation called OFDMA which...
