LTE-Advanced载波聚合资源调度算法研究

LTE-Advanced(以下简称LTE-A)作为3GPP LTE技术标准的增强版本,它能够提供更大的系统带宽,可获得更高的峰值数据速率和用户频谱效率。为了支持更多的用户业务,也为了满足IMT-Advanced的性能要求,LTE-A提出了载波聚合（CA）技术,即对若干个带宽满足一定要求的载波进行聚合形成100 M传输带宽,从而可以实现上行500 Mbit/s、下行1 Gbit/s的峰值数据速率。相比于单载波系统,引入载波聚合技术的LTE-A系统属于多载波系统,其资源调度更为复杂,如何分配多个载波下的物理资源成了急需解决的问题。因此,基于LTE-A载波聚合的系统架构和关键技术,介绍了LTE-A载波聚合的资源调度模型;针对目前存在的LTE-A载波聚合资源调度算法,详细分析了每一种算法的优缺点,并做出了总结。

Analysis of multi‐user detection of multi‐rate transmissions in multi‐cellular CDMA

In this paper, we address the issue of multi‐user receiver design in realistic multi‐cellular and multi‐rate CDMA systems based on performance analysis. We consider the multi‐user detection (MUD) technique, denoted interference subspace rejection (ISR), because it offers a wide range of canonic suppression modes that range in performance and complexity between interference cancellers and linear receivers. To further broaden our study, we propose a modified ISR scheme called hybrid ISR to cope better with multi‐rate transmissions. The performance analysis, which is based on the Gaussian assumption (GA) and validated by simulations, takes into account data estimation errors, carrier frequency mismatch, imperfect power control, identification errors of time‐varying multipath Rayleigh channels and intercell interference. This analysis enables us to optimize the selection of the MUD mode for multi‐rate transmissions in different operating conditions. The effectiveness of interference cancellation is indeed investigated under different mobile speeds, numbers of receiving antennas, near‐far situations, channel estimation errors, and out‐cell to in‐cell interference ratios. This investigation suggests that the out‐of‐cell interference, the residual in‐cell interference, the noise enhancement as well as low mobility favor the simplest MUD modes as they offer the best performance/complexity tradeoffs.

Slanted Frame Arrangement on Multiple Frequency Carriers in TDD Based PRMA

Efficient utilization of radio resource is one of the most important issues in wireless systems. In existing TDD based PRMA protocol and its variations, a mobile terminal is assigned on one of the frequency carriers after completing a registration procedure. Since mobile terminals enter and leave the system in an unpredictable fashion, some of the frequency carriers may become heavily loaded while other frequency carriers are underutilized. The frequency carriers can be utilized more efficiently by allowing the mobile terminals to switch among the frequency carriers. To enable the mobile terminals to switch among the frequency carriers efficiently, this paper proposes to arrange the frame boundaries on the frequency carriers in a slanted fashion. A scheme is proposed to enable a mobile terminal to switch among different frequency carriers such that shorter time is required to obtain a slot at the beginning of a talk spurt or a burst of data. Simulations are performed to compare the performance of the proposed scheme with a scheme that does not allow mobile terminals to switch among frequency carriers. Our simulation results show that the proposed slanted frame arrangement scheme yields significantly lower mean request waiting time and packet dropping ratio.     

Throughput and delay analysis of multi-channel wireless infrastructure networks

Wireless infrastructure networks (WINs) provide ubiquitous connectivity to mobile nodes in metro areas. The nodes in such backbone networks are often equipped with multiple transceivers to allow for concurrent transmissions in multiple orthogonal channels. In this study, we develop an analytical model for the estimation of the delay and throughput performance of wireless infrastructure networks employing slotted ALOHA channel access and slotted Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) over multiple channels. The analytical model, which takes into account the correlation due to multi-hop transmissions, approximates the performance observed through simulations accurately.

A novel demodulator/detector for digital and analog signals on LMRchannels

The design, implementation, and performance of an all-digital demodulator/detector suitable for differential phase-shift keying (DPSK), continuous-phase frequency-shift keying (CPFSK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), and analog FM are discussed. In this modulator/detector, two detectors, one noncoherent and another differentially coherent, operate simultaneously to provide data detection and automatic frequency control (AFC). Test results indicate that the system provides improved performance over the conventional analog quadrature detector for two-period raised-cosine (2RC) CPFSK modulation in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels. Being all-digital, the demodulator/detector is well suited for integrated circuit implementation. In addition, the system performs as well as the analog quadrature detector for analog FM voice transmissions, thereby maintaining full compatibility with analog land mobile radio (LMR) transmissions     

OFDM or single-carrier block transmissions?

We compare two block transmission systems over frequency-selective fading channels: orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) versus single-carrier modulated blocks with zero padding (ZP). We first compare their peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) and the corresponding power amplifier backoff for phase-shift keying or quadrature amplitude modulation. Then, we study the effects of carrier frequency offset on their performance and throughput. We further compare the performance and complexity of uncoded and coded transmissions over random dispersive channels, including Rayleigh fading channels, as well as practical HIPERLAN/2 indoor and outdoor channels. We establish that unlike OFDM, uncoded block transmissions with ZP enjoy maximum diversity and coding gains within the class of linearly precoded block transmissions. Analysis and computer simulations confirm the considerable edge of ZP-only in terms of PAR, robustness to carrier frequency offset, and uncoded performance, at the price of slightly increased complexity. In the coded case, ZP is preferable when the code rate is high (e.g., 3/4), while coded OFDM is to be preferred in terms of both performance and complexity when the code rate is low (e.g., 1/2) and the error-correcting capability is enhanced. As ZP block transmissions can approximate serial single-carrier systems as well, the scope of the present comparison is broader.

Voice and data transmissions with a PRMA-like protocol in highpropagation delay cellular systems

Future mobile communication systems will require new medium access control protocols to attain an efficient multiplexing of different traffic sources while guaranteeing their requirements on quality of service. This paper investigates the performance of a modified packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) protocol, called PRMA with hindering states (PRMA-HS), for supporting voice and data transmissions in mobile cellular systems with high propagation delays. A scenario based on low Earth orbit mobile satellite systems (LEO-MSSs) has been considered, but the analytical approach is general. We have obtained that PRMA-HS achieves a high capacity of voice sources in LEO-MSSs also in the presence of data traffic. A performance analysis has been carried out showing good agreement with simulation results. Finally, the PRMA-HS performance has been evaluated in the presence of different data traffic sources     

Performance analysis of a time diversity ARQ in land mobile radio

A time diversity automatic repeat-request (ARQ) scheme with a finite number of transmissions is investigated for a digital FM mobile radio with frequency demodulation (FD). It processes all the retransmissions of a single data block using postdetection diversity combining. The analysis of the signal energy per bit required for a given bit error rate (BER) and the spectral efficiency in a cellular mobile radio system are presented. The results obtained from the numerical calculations show that this ARQ scheme offers a performance superior to both the basic ARQ scheme and the time-diversity scheme     

High-throughput, high-performance OFDM via pseudo-orthogonal carrier interferometry spreading codes

The paper introduces to orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems a novel pseudo-orthogonal carrier interferometry spreading code which spreads each parallel data stream over all the OFDM carriers. Pseudo-orthogonal carrier interferometry (PO-CI) spreading codes are carefully selected to introduce the following benefits to OFDM: up to 2N parallel data streams can be coded onto N carriers, with little degradation in performance; when rate 1/2 channel coding is applied in addition to PO-CI spreading codes, the resulting binary phase-shift keying OFDM systems demonstrate the performance of coded OFDM and the throughput of uncoded OFDM; PO-CI codes are carefully selected to spread in a manner which eliminates the peak-to-average power ratio problems characteristic of traditional OFDM.     

Chip-level differential encoding/detection of spread-spectrumsignals for CDMA radio transmission over fading channels

This paper is concerned with the design and performance evaluation of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum transmission and signal-detection technique for application to code-division multiple-access mobile radio networks. Unlike the conventional differential encoding/detection of data symbols, such a technique envisages differential encoding/detection of the spreading code chips to counteract the fast time-selective fading encountered in mobile radio transmissions. Binary PSK modulation on a Rician frequency-flat-fading channel is assumed, with Gaussian and Rayleigh channels as particular cases. The bit-error rate performance of the receiver is analytically evaluated as a function of the relevant system parameters, and the impact on the receiver performance of a carrier frequency offset is also investigated     

异构网中载波聚合系统的成员载波选择和干扰协同

Attainable throughput of an interference-limited multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) cellular system

We investigate the high spectral efficiency capabilities of a cellular data system that combines the following: 1) multiple transmit signals, each using a separately adaptive modulation; 2) adaptive array processing at the receiver; and 3) aggressive frequency reuse (reuse in every cell). We focus on the link capacity between one user and its serving base station, for both uncoded and ideally coded transmissions. System performance is measured in terms of average data throughput, where the average is over user location, shadow fading, and fast fading. We normalize this average by the total bandwidth, call it the mean spectral efficiency, and show why this metric is a useful representation of system capability. We then quantify it, using simulations, to characterize multiple-input multiple-output systems performance for a wide variety of channel conditions and system design options     

A Model for the Performance Evaluation of Packet Transmissions Using Type-II Hybrid ARQ over a Correlated Error Channel

Type-II Hybrid-ARQ (Type-II HARQ) has been shown, under certain circumstances, to increase the efficiency and reduce loss of data transmissions over a wireless channel. However, it is difficult to predict how it will perform when transmission symbol errors are correlated. We present a computationally efficient approach to the performance evaluation of packet transmissions over a wireless link employing Type-II HARQ error mitigation when the physical channel is subject to correlated transmission symbol errors. This provides a tool for static or online optimization of system parameters. We present numerical results for a wide range of channel statistics, illustrating the effect of bit error correlation, bit error rate, and block size on packet latency and loss rate.     

The future generations of mobile communications based on broadband access technologies

The forthcoming mobile communication systems are expected to provide a wide variety of services, from high-quality voice to high-definition videos, through high data rate wireless channels anywhere in the world. The high data rate requires broad frequency bands, and sufficient broadband can be achieved in higher frequency bands such as microwave, Ka-band, and millimeter-wave. Broadband wireless channels have to be connected to broadband fixed networks such as the Internet and local area networks. The future-generation systems will include not only cellular phones, but also many new types of communication systems such as broadband wireless access systems, millimeter-wave LANs, intelligent transport systems, and high altitude stratospheric platform station systems. Key to the future generations of mobile communications are multimedia communications, wireless access to broadband fixed networks, and seamless roaming among different systems.

Space–time coding for broadband wireless communications

The development of broadband wireless communication systems must cope with various performance‐limiting challenges that include channel fading as well as size and power limitations at the mobile units. As a promising method dealing with these challenges, space–time coding is effective in supporting reliable, high‐data‐rate transmissions: the major goal in broadband wireless communications. A survey of space–time coding schemes is provided in this paper. Targeting broadband wireless communications, the focus is on space–time coding in the presence of frequency‐ and time‐selective fading and the associated channel estimation and symbol recovery algorithms for both single user and multiuser settings.
