Hybrid Spectrum Sharing in mmWave Cellular Networks
While spectrum at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is less scarce than at
traditional frequencies below 6 GHz, still it is not unlimited, in particular
if we consider the requirements from other services using the same band and the
need to license mmWave bands to multiple mobile operators. Therefore, an
efficient spectrum access scheme is critical to harvest the maximum benefit
from emerging mmWave technologies. In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid
spectrum access scheme for mmWave networks, where data is aggregated through
two mmWave carriers with different characteristics. In particular, we consider
the case of a hybrid spectrum scheme between a mmWave band with exclusive
access and a mmWave band where spectrum is pooled between multiple operators.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study proposing hybrid spectrum
access for mmWave networks and providing a quantitative assessment of its
benefits. Our results show that this approach provides major advantages with
respect to traditional fully licensed or fully unlicensed spectrum access
schemes, though further work is needed to achieve a more complete understanding
of both technical and non technical implications
Enabling RAN Slicing Through Carrier Aggregation in mmWave Cellular Networks
The ever increasing number of connected devices and of new and heterogeneous
mobile use cases implies that 5G cellular systems will face demanding technical
challenges. For example, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) and
enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) scenarios present orthogonal Quality of
Service (QoS) requirements that 5G aims to satisfy with a unified Radio Access
Network (RAN) design. Network slicing and mmWave communications have been
identified as possible enablers for 5G. They provide, respectively, the
necessary scalability and flexibility to adapt the network to each specific use
case environment, and low latency and multi-gigabit-per-second wireless links,
which tap into a vast, currently unused portion of the spectrum. The
optimization and integration of these technologies is still an open research
challenge, which requires innovations at different layers of the protocol
stack. This paper proposes to combine them in a RAN slicing framework for
mmWaves, based on carrier aggregation. Notably, we introduce MilliSlice, a
cross-carrier scheduling policy that exploits the diversity of the carriers and
maximizes their utilization, thus simultaneously guaranteeing high throughput
for the eMBB slices and low latency and high reliability for the URLLC flows.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures. Proc. of the 18th Mediterranean Communication and

์ก์ธ์ค ๋ฐ W-ARQ๋ฅผ ์ ์ํฉ๋๋ค.3GPP has developed 5 GHz unlicensed band LTE, referred to as licensed-assisted
access (LAA). LAA adopts listen before talk (LBT) operation, resembling Wi-Fis
carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), to enable collision
avoidance capability, while the frame structure overhead of each LAA downlink burst
varies with the ending time of each preceding LBT operation.
In this dissertation, we propose numerical model to analyze unlicensed band cellular communication. Next, we consider the following two enhancements of unlicensed band cellular communication: (i) out-of-band emission (OOBE) aware additional carrier access, and (ii) Wi-Fi assisted hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ)
for unlicensed-band stand-alone cellular communication.
Given that, existing analytic models of Wi-Fi cannot be used to evaluate the performance of LAA, in this letter, we propose a novel Markov chain-based analytic model
to analyze the performance of LAA network composed of multiple contending evolved
NodeBs by considering the variation of the LAA frame structure overhead. LTE-LAA
adopts adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) for the rate adaptation algorithm inherited from LTE. AMC helps the evolved nodeB (eNB) to select a modulation and
coding scheme (MCS) for the next transmission using the channel quality indicator
feedback of the current transmission. For the conventional LTE operating in the licensed band, there is no node contention problem and AMC performance has been
well studied. However, in the case of LTE-LAA operating in the unlicensed band,
AMC performance has not been properly addressed due to the collision problem. In
this letter, we propose a novel Markov chain-based analysis model for analyzing LTELAA performance under a realistic channel model considering AMC operation. We
adopt Rayleigh fading channel model widely used in wireless network analysis, and
compare our analysis results with the results obtained from ns-3 simulator. Comparison results show an average accuracy of 99.5%, which demonstrates the accuracy of
our analysis model.
Due to the requirement for a high data rate, the 3GPP has provided multi-carrier
operation for LTE-LAA. However, multi-carrier operation is susceptible to OOBE and
uses limited transmission power, resulting in inefficient channel usage. This paper proposes a novel multi-carrier access scheme to enhance channel efficiency. Our proposed
scheme divides a transmission burst into multiple ones and uses short subframe transmission while meeting the transmission power limitation. In addition, we propose an
energy detection algorithm to overcome the OOBE problem by deciding the channel status accurately. Our prototype using software-defined radio shows the feasibility
and performance of the energy detection algorithm that determines the channel status with over 99% accuracy. Through ns-3 simulation, we confirm that the proposed
multi-carrier access scheme achieves up to 59% and 21.5% performance gain in userperceived throughput compared with the conventional LBT type A and type B, respectively.
Since the legacy LAA has deployment problem, 3GPP and MulteFire alliance proposed unlicensed band stand-alone cellular communication system. However, conventional unlicensed band stand-alone cellular communication system has low transmission probability of uplink control messages. This disertation proposes W-ARQ: Wi-Fi
assisted HARQ which put uplink control messages into Wi-Fi block ACK frame. In
addition we propose parallel HARQ and clustered Minstrel to enhance throughput
performance of W-ARQ. Our proposed algorithm shows high throughput performance
where conventional MulteFire shows almost zero throughput performance.
In summary, we analyze the performance of unlicensed-band cellular communication. By using the proposed model, we insist the legacy multi-carrier operation and HARQ of unlicensed cellular communication is not efficient. By this reason, we propose
OOBE aware additional access and W-ARQ which achievee enhancements of network performance such as UPT and throughput compared with state-of-the-art techniques.Abstract i

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
Measurement and Optimization of LTE Performance
4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile system is the fourth generation communication system adopted worldwide to provide high-speed data connections and high-quality voice calls. Given the recent deployment by mobile service providers, unlike GSM and UMTS, LTE can be still considered to be in its early stages and therefore many topics still raise great interest among the international scientific research community: network performance assessment, network optimization, selective scheduling, interference management and coexistence with other communication systems in the unlicensed band, methods to evaluate human exposure to electromagnetic radiation are, as a matter of fact, still open issues.
In this work techniques adopted to increase LTE radio performances are investigated. One of the most wide-spread solutions proposed by the standard is to implement MIMO techniques and within a few years, to overcome the scarcity of spectrum, LTE network operators will offload data traffic by accessing the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency. Our Research deals with an evaluation of 3GPP standard in a real test best scenario to evaluate network behavior and performance
