Survey of Spectrum Sharing for Inter-Technology Coexistence
Increasing capacity demands in emerging wireless technologies are expected to
be met by network densification and spectrum bands open to multiple
technologies. These will, in turn, increase the level of interference and also
result in more complex inter-technology interactions, which will need to be
managed through spectrum sharing mechanisms. Consequently, novel spectrum
sharing mechanisms should be designed to allow spectrum access for multiple
technologies, while efficiently utilizing the spectrum resources overall.
Importantly, it is not trivial to design such efficient mechanisms, not only
due to technical aspects, but also due to regulatory and business model
constraints. In this survey we address spectrum sharing mechanisms for wireless
inter-technology coexistence by means of a technology circle that incorporates
in a unified, system-level view the technical and non-technical aspects. We
thus systematically explore the spectrum sharing design space consisting of
parameters at different layers. Using this framework, we present a literature
review on inter-technology coexistence with a focus on wireless technologies
with equal spectrum access rights, i.e. (i) primary/primary, (ii)
secondary/secondary, and (iii) technologies operating in a spectrum commons.
Moreover, we reflect on our literature review to identify possible spectrum
sharing design solutions and performance evaluation approaches useful for
future coexistence cases. Finally, we discuss spectrum sharing design
challenges and suggest future research directions
Massive MIMO Full-Duplex Relaying with Optimal Power Allocation for Independent Multipairs
With the help of an in-band full-duplex relay station, it is possible to
simultaneously transmit and receive signals from multiple users. The
performance of such system can be greatly increased when the relay station is
equipped with a large number of antennas on both transmitter and receiver
sides. In this paper, we exploit the use of massive arrays to effectively
suppress the loopback interference (LI) of a decode-and-forward relay (DF) and
evaluate the performance of the end-to-end (e2e) transmission. This paper
assumes imperfect channel state information is available at the relay and
designs a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) filter to mitigate the interference.
Subsequently, we adopt zero-forcing (ZF) filters for both detection and
beamforming. The performance of such system is evaluated in terms of bit error
rate (BER) at both relay and destinations, and an optimal choice for the
transmission power at the relay is shown. We then propose a complexity
efficient optimal power allocation (OPA) algorithm that, using the channel
statistics, computes the minimum power that satisfies the rate constraints of
each pair. The results obtained via simulation show that when both MMSE
filtering and OPA method are used, better values for the energy efficiency are
attained.Comment: Accepted to the 16th IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing
