Effect of adjacent IS-95 network to WCDMA uplink capacity

The paper derives the degradation of wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA) uplink capacity in the situation where an IS-95 system is deployed at the adjacent frequency band. A system modeling approach that combines accurate path loss information with simplified and computationally fast interference modeling is also described. The model takes into account the power-control coupling between IS-95 and WCDMA systems as well as the effect of downlink blocking. The paper also includes some numerical examples from realistic micro- and macrocellular network scenarios. The results show that the interference is dependent on, in addition to the filter characteristics, the used network scenario, whether the interfered or interfering system is microcellular or macrocellular, and on the relative cell densities of the interfering and interfered networks. The developed method can be utilized for WCDMA network planning, for frequency allocation, and for system design of the mobile telecommunication systems.     

Capacity unbalance between uplink and downlink in spectrallyoverlaid narrow-band and wide-band CDMA mobile systems

In this paper, we discuss capacity unbalance between uplink (mobile-to-base) and downlink (base-to-mobile) in future code division multiple access (CDMA) radio networks where both narrow-band and wide-band CDMA systems are coexisted. Since the two links are not operated in an identical condition, their capacities are unequal and either of the links determines the whole system capacity. The purpose of this paper is to examine which link limits the system capacity and what are the limiting factors. To facilitate the examination, “transmission capacity” and “connection capacity” are defined, and simplified formulas are presented to compute those capacities, respectively for uplink and downlink. Signal quality required for each link, effectiveness of power control, spatial distribution of mobile users and other-cell as well as same-cell user interference are usually determining the limiting link. Besides, the traffic unbalance between the links imposed by specific service applications and the network evolution scenarios are also shown to be very influencing factors     

Spectral overlay of multicarrier CDMA on existing CDMA mobilesystems

A spectral overlay of a narrow-band code division multiple access (CDMA) system and a wide-band multicarrier CDMA system is considered as a means for existing CDMA mobile networks to evolve into a future CDMA network. The achievable joint capacity of the overlaid system is provided and compared with that of another network evolution strategy of spectrally overlaying wide-band single-carrier CDMA to the existing CDMA systems     

The Complementary Use of 3G WCDMA and GSM/GPRS Cellular Radio Networks

The traffic performance of integrated 3G wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) and GSM/GPRS network is evaluated. This type of network links two cellular radio systems which have different set of frequency bands and the same coverage size. The base station of 3G WCDMA is installed on an existing GSM/GPRS site. Dual-mode mobile terminals use handoff to establish calls on the better system. The soft handoff or inter-frequency hard handoff occurs when mobile terminals of 3G WCDMA or GSM/GPRS move between two adjacent cells, respectively. The inter-system hard handoffs are used between 3G WCDMA and GSM/GPRS systems. The data rate conversions between different systems, soft handoff region size, multiple data rate multimedia services, and the effect of the mobile terminal mobility on the user mean dwell time in each system are considered in the study. The simulation results demonstrate that a great traffic performance improvement on the complementary use of 3G WCDMA and GSM/GPRS cellular radio networks compared with the use of GSM/GPRS cellular radio networks. When high-data rate transmission is chosen for low-mobility subscribers, both the handoff failure probability, and carried traffic rates increase with the new call generation rate. However, both rates decrease conversely with the increasing new call generation rate as soon as the new call generation rate exceeds a critical value. This causes the integrated networks saturation. The higher mean speed for the mobile terminals produces lower new call blocking probabilities and total carried traffic. The new call blocking probabilities and total carried traffic increase with the size of the soft handoff region.

Emission Reduction and Capacity Increase in GSM Networks by Single Antenna Interference Cancellation

There is an increasing demand to utilize the frequency spectrum of mobile communication systems most efficiently. This means in particular to GSM networks that the frequency reuse shall be planned as low as possible. In this case the system may become limited by interference rather than coverage. One promising technology for GSM mobiles in interference-limited systems is single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC). This receiver technology allows both for increasing the network capacity and for reducing the base station transmit power. The aim of this paper is to assess the emission reduction as well as the system capacity capabilities when SAIC technology is applied in downlink receivers.     

A new C-RAN architecture based on RF signal soft-switching

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) is known to be one of the key technologies for long-term evolution (LTE)-advanced systems. CoMP technology can improve system capacity and the quality of wireless communication services for users in LTE networks. However, in practice, the actual performance of CoMP technology is limited by the switching capacity of the backhaul network among distributed base stations as well as its latencies. In this paper, we propose a new cloud radio access network architecture based on RF signal soft-switching to solve this problem. Furthermore, we introduce a narrow-band parallel processing technique on a common public radio interface in downlink and uplink to reduce the volume of data as well as the latencies in the transmission process among base band units and remote radio units. By combining theoretical analysis with computer simulations, we show that the technique is valid both for downlink and uplink, i.e., it does not degrade the performance of downlink and uplink propagation between BBU pool and user equipments. Moreover, the computational time of the narrow-band parallel processing technique is less than that of the standard technique.     

WCDMA Downlink Coverage Reduction Due to Adjacent Channel Interference

This paper determines the coverage reduction of the Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) downlink in the case of interference, due to adjacent narrowband system. The coverage reduction has been evaluated in terms of blocking area around the interfering base station. The analysis takes into account different interference mechanisms and their individual effects to the coverage. The interference mechanisms which have been considered here are the out-of-band emissions of the base station transmitter, the adjacent channel interference due to non-ideal sideband filtering, the intermodulation and the crossmodulation. The coverage effects in realistic network environment have been computed by using accurate ray-tracing propagation models designed for the path loss calculation in the urban environment. In the numerical examples, the effect of GSM interference has been demonstrated, but the method can be utilized with other narrowband systems as well. The results can be utilized in radio system design, radio network planning (RNP) and the frequency allocation of the WCDMA systems.     

Uplink relaying in hybrid wireless networks with out-of-cell interference reduction

The next generation broadband access networks must provide high speed bidirectional data channels and support more concurrent subscribers than ever before. While mega-bits-per-second data rates have been demonstrated for the downlink channels, progress on uplink has been slow. We propose a hybrid architecture for CDMA uplink that seamlessly integrates short-range radio and WCDMA interfaces in the same network. In our scheme, mobile stations (subscribers) can operate as Relaying Mobile Terminal (RMT) to relay uplink traffic for nearby mobile stations. Our analysis and simulations show that the deployment of RMTs significantly reduces the radio transmissions in the CDMA uplink. Moreover, the scheme results in a much lower out-of-cell interference to the neighboring network cells. The problem of finding the optimum RMT set turns out to be NP-hard. Several heuristics are evaluated in terms of RMT size and out-of-cell interference. In particular, we investigated a novel vertex cover based heuristic algorithm. Our method uses mobile pilot signals and mobile location to estimate a interference function for each node. This function is then used in selecting a maximum matching for the candidate RMT set. Simulation results are somewhat surprising: the simple greedy algorithm has very close performance to that of the optimum algorithm when only the RMT size is concerned. When out-of-cell interference is considered, the proposed algorithm outperforms both greedy and 2-approximation algorithm.     

Capacity of DS/CDMA communication systems with optimum spectraloverlap

We consider frequency overlapped DS/CDMA (FO/CDMA) communication systems where a number of DS/CDMA systems share frequency bands with adjacent systems. We analyze the multiple-access interference from adjacent systems with arbitrary amount of frequency overlap and compare the capacity of FO/CDMA with that of single wideband CDMA (WCDMA). The optimum amount of overlap increases with the number of overlapped systems. However the maximum capacity is obtained when the optimum number of systems are overlapped by half null-to-null bandwidth. It is shown that the FO/CDMA yields higher capacity in the case of relaxed bit error rate requirement and low decay rate of multipath intensity profile. Otherwise, WCDMA is superior     

Analysis of TCP performance under joint rate and power adaptation in cellular WCDMA networks

To improve the spectral efficiency while meeting the radio link level quality of service requirements such as the bit-error-rate (BER) requirements for the different wireless services, transmission rate and power corresponding to the different mobile users can be dynamically varied in a cellular wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA) network depending on the variations in channel interference and fading conditions. This paper models and analyzes the performance of transmission control protocol (TCP) under joint rate and power adaptation with constrained BER requirements for downlink data transmission in a cellular variable spreading factor (VSF) WCDMA network. The aim of this multilayer modeling of the WCDMA radio interface is to better understand the interlayer protocol interactions and identify suitable transport and radio link layer mechanisms to improve TCP performance in a wide-area cellular WCDMA network.

Carrier aggregation for LTE-advanced mobile communication systems

In order to achieve up to 1 Gb/s peak data rate in future IMT-Advanced mobile systems, carrier aggregation technology is introduced by the 3GPP to support very-high-data-rate transmissions over wide frequency bandwidths (e.g., up to 100 MHz) in its new LTE-Advanced standards. This article first gives a brief review of continuous and non-continuous CA techniques, followed by two data aggregation schemes in physical and medium access control layers. Some technical challenges for implementing CA technique in LTE-Advanced systems, with the requirements of backward compatibility to LTE systems, are highlighted and discussed. Possible technical solutions for the asymmetric CA problem, control signaling design, handover control, and guard band setting are reviewed. Simulation results show Doppler frequency shift has only limited impact on data transmission performance over wide frequency bands in a high-speed mobile environment when the component carriers are time synchronized. The frequency aliasing will generate much more interference between adjacent component carriers and therefore greatly degrades the bit error rate performance of downlink data transmissions.

On the Impact of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) on Macrocell Downlink of UMTS and CDMA-450 Systems

Results of the analytical analysis to assess the effect of the ultra-wideband (UWB) emissions on the [universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) and code division multiple access systems (CDMA-450)] are presented. The (UMTS and CDMA- 450 systems) normalized range and normalized capacity degradation are evaluated. A free-space propagation model is used to calculate the UWB signal power that interferes with both mobile systems. It is shown that, for the case of a single UWB transmitter, the UMTS can easily tolerate UWB interference when the UWB equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is -92.5 dBm/MHz or less for a distance between the UWB transmitter and the UMTS mobile of 1 m or higher. Also, it is shown that, for the case of multi-UWB transmitters, the UMTS can easily tolerate the UWB interference when the UWB EIRP is -94.5 dBm/MHz. For the single UWB transmitter case, the CDMA-450 downlink can tolerate UWB interference when the UWB power density is in the order of -106 dBm/MHz. For the case of multi-UWB transmitters, the power density that can be tolerated by the downlink of the CDMA- 450 system is in the order of -108 dBm/MHz.
