Device-to-device (D2D) communication as an underlaying cellular network empowers user-driven rich multimedia applications and also has proven to be network efficient offloading eNodeB traffic. However, D2D transmitters may cause significant amount of interference to the primary cellular network when radio resources are shared between them. During the downlink (DL) phase, primary cell UE (user equipment)...
The evaluation of the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) in cellular networks is of primary importance for network dimensioning. For static studies, which evaluate cell capacity and coverage, as well as for dynamic studies, which consider arrivals and departures of mobile stations (MS), the SIR is always an important input. Contrary to most of the analytical works evaluating SIR, we assume in this...
All GSM operators use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to judge their network performance and evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) regarding end user perspective. All the events being occurred over air interface are triggering different counters in the Base Station Controller (BSC). In this paper GSM network RF performance evaluation is presented based on some major KPIs such as Call set up success...
One of the most important challenges is how to manage inter-cell interference. Special care has to be taken regarding voice traffic which has more strict requirements on delay and packet loss. The goal of inter-cell interference coordination schemes is to decrease inter-cell interference and get higher cell throughput, so we evaluated the performance of inter-cell interference coordination schemes...
In this paper, we propose the Nash bargaining solution for the interference problem in cellular networks. The base-stations of neighboring cells negotiate with each other to determine the best number of channels that should be allocated to their edge users. While cells optimize the allocated resources on a local level, the bargaining process acts as a common framework that combines the optimization...
In this paper, a single-carrier frequency domain adaptive antenna array (FDAAA) is proposed for the uplink transmission in cellular systems. The FDAAA algorithm will deal with co-channel interference and exploit the frequency selectivity of the channel fading jointly by using adaptive antenna array in the frequency domain. The receiver of the base station (BS) needs to adjust the AAA weight to optimize...
In this work, we examine the feasibility of achieving Subspace Interference Alignment (SIA) in a multibeam satellite interference uplink channel. The channel is assumed to be Line-Of-Sight where link is a single physical path with complex gain and a large fixed delay (e.g. GEO satellite). SIA achieves interference-free degree of freedom in cellular networks owing to the rich scattering present in...
In this paper, we consider the co-channel interference mitigation capability of fixed relay aided wireless systems, where the relays are linked to the base station using realistic imperfect optical fibre. Three interference mitigation techniques are investigated, namely an appealing reduced-power transmission technique, the classic eigen-beamforming arrangement and their hybrid. The cellular model...
This paper focuses on coordinated scheduling to combat uplink inter-cell interference for LTE/LTE-Advanced. In OFDM system, inter-cell interference is the dominant interference which limits system capacity, especially the performance of cell edge users. Meanwhile inter-cell interference in OFDM system has an inherent characteristic of interference fluctuation, which reduces the efficiency of channel...
Smart antennas have received increasing interest due to its capability for improving the performance of wireless radio systems. In this work we studied the throughput maximization in a CDMA 1xEV-DO cellular system when a smart antenna array is implemented. We focus in the downlink of the CDMA cellular system and consider a packet data direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA). We show...
Femtocells are expected to increase network capacity, extend macrocell coverage, and introduce new services. Because femtocells share the same frequency band with macrocells in many cases, the femtocell base station (BS) must mitigate the interference with macrocells as well as ensure coverage in customer premises. However, conventional femtocell BS transmit power setting have not adequately accounted...
The achievable throughput of the entire cellular area is investigated, when employing fractional frequency reuse techniques in conjunction with realistically modelled imperfect optical fibre aided distributed antenna systems (DAS) operating in a multicell scenario. Given a fixed total transmit power, a substantial improvement of the cell-edge area's throughput can be achieved without reducing the...
This paper presents a joint study of several intercell interference coordination strategies considering both static and dynamic approaches, and with different adjustments in their basic parameters. A wide evaluation is presented with special emphasis on the efficiency vs. fairness tradeoff. Besides, additional performance metrics have been considered as enablers of a full understanding of the strengths...
Re-farming of 900 MHz band into HSPA has been started and is likely to happen later with LTE. Typically operators have less than 10 MHz block of 900 MHz spectrum and therefore co-existence of two systems in that band is causing challenges. One of the major issues is the high GSM voice traffic that will remain in the GSM network. How to cope the same traffic with significantly less bandwidth for GSM?...
In this paper, we consider the problem of joint adaptive beamforming from multiple Access Points (APs), equipped with array antennas, to multiple single-antenna User Equipments (UEs). We derive an iterative algorithm for Multi-Cell Beam-Forming (MCBF) under per-cell power constraints and the constraint that a UE may receive data transmission from a single AP. The scheme is suitable for coordinated...
In the relay-enhanced cellular network, the target user will receive uncertain interference due to orthogonal transmission between BS and RS, which would make the traditional mechanisms of link adaptation and channel-aware scheduling invalid. In this paper, a novel resource scheduling scheme is proposed with a semi-static mode, in which dominant interferences for a target user are identified and inter-cell...
Recently, femtocell has been proposed as a good solution to increase the coverage area and capacity of the wireless communication system as well as meet the increasing demand for high data rate. The femtocell is low-cost, low-power and can be realized by deploying a femto-base-station connected to the core network via a wired-backhaul. Since the femtocell reuses the macrocell spectrum, co-channel...
We consider a class of point processes (pp), which we call sub-Poisson; these are pp that can be directionally-convexly (dcx) dominated by some Poisson pp. The dcx order has already been shown in useful in comparing various point process characteristics, including Ripley's and correlation functions as well as shot-noise fields generated by pp, indicating in particular that smaller in the dcx order...
In view of the new feature after introducing the relay nodes (RNs) into the conventional cellular networks, a novel soft frequency reuse (SFR)-based inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) scheme is proposed in the relay enhanced cellular networks. On the basis of original ICIC scheme for conventional cellular network, RNs in the proposed SFR scheme reuses part of neighboring cell-edge bands to...
In this paper, we present a pilot design for an OFDM cellular system based on Costas arrays. The design provides pilot symbols for both common and dedicated pilots for MIMO transmission. The pilot symbols are designed so that pilots from different cells intersect minimally. The design results in a large number of available distinct pilot symbol patterns with minimally overlapping resource elements...
