Due to the situation that the mobile data traffic grows rapidly and users continue to improve the quality of service requirements, the operators which are lack of part of the spectrum resources make a weak response. While precise deployment of small cell with the same frequency in the macro cell is a better solution. In this paper, the network analysis and verification result is shown which is in...
Device-to-device (D2D) communications as an underlay of a LTE-A (4G) network can reduce the traffic load as well as power consumption in cellular networks by way of utilizing peer-to-peer links for users in proximity of each other. This would enable other cellular users to increment their traffic, and the aggregate traffic for all users can be significantly increased without requiring additional spectrum...
In this paper we introduce a reliable multicast concept for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication integrated into cellular network. In addition to the introduction of the basic concept, initial simulation results are presented as well. Clustering closely located devices which have local communication needs is a feasible and efficient way of solving the increasing data traffic requirements in the future...
Carrier aggregation is one of the key features for LTE-Advanced. By means of CA, users gain access to a total bandwidth of up to 100 MHz in order to meet the IMT-Advanced requirements. The system bandwidth may be contiguous, or composed of several non-contiguous bandwidth chunks that are aggregated. This article presents a summary of the supported CA scenarios as well as an overview of the CA functionality...
In cellular OFDMA networks, there exists a fundamental trade-off between the achievable cell capacity and the degree of fairness among the users in the cell. Several scheduling algorithms have been proposed which try to balance this tradeoff. The parameterization of these scheduling algorithms to achieve a certain desired fairness level is non-trivial. We show that the optimal fairness parameter settings...
Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is one of the key technologies in the multi-cell radio resource management of mobile systems. It plays a vital role in mitigating strong inter cell interference and guaranteeing proper quality of services for in-progress sessions. Because heterogeneous deployment is adopted in LTE-Advanced, and interference problem becomes serious. In this paper, we propose...
The next generation of cellular networks (Long Term Evolution) uses SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) on the uplink. In SC-FDMA, the uplink resources assigned to a user are called Resource Blocks (RBs) each of which consists of a set of consecutive subcarriers spanning all symbols available for data. Since at most one User Equipment (UE) is assigned to each RB then uplink...
Two main draft standards were submitted in October 2009 as candidate technologies for IMT-Advanced, namely IEEE 802.16m and 3GPP LTE-Advanced. However, several details on their functionalities are still open and the research community is racing towards the complete definition of the revolutionary next fourth generation mobile, 4G. In this framework the European Celtic project WINNER+ is bridging together...
Cell outage management is a functionality aiming to automatically detect and mitigate outages that occur in radio networks due to unexpected failures. We envisage that future radio networks autonomously detect an outage based on measurements, from e.g., user equipment and base stations, and alter the configuration of surrounding radio base stations in order to compensate for the outage-induced coverage...
