Near-Instantaneously Adaptive HSDPA-Style OFDM Versus MC-CDMA Transceivers for WIFI, WIMAX, and Next-Generation Cellular Systems
Burts-by-burst (BbB) adaptive high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) style multicarrier systems are reviewed, identifying their most critical design aspects. These systems exhibit numerous attractive features, rendering them eminently eligible for employment in next-generation wireless systems. It is argued that BbB-adaptive or symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) modems counteract the near instantaneous channel quality variations and hence attain an increased throughput or robustness in comparison to their fixed-mode counterparts. Although they act quite differently, various diversity techniques, such as Rake receivers and space-time block coding (STBC) are also capable of mitigating the channel quality variations in their effort to reduce the bit error ratio (BER), provided that the individual antenna elements experience independent fading. By contrast, in the presence of correlated fading imposed by shadowing or time-variant multiuser interference, the benefits of space-time coding erode and it is unrealistic to expect that a fixed-mode space-time coded system remains capable of maintaining a near-constant BER

Técnicas de processamento com múltiplas antenas para o sistema LTE
Mestrado em Engenharia Electrónica e TelecomunicaçõesPerformance, mobilidade e partilha podem ser consideras como as três
palavras-chave nas comunicações móveis de hoje em dia. Uma das necessidades
fundamentais do ser humano é a partilha de experiencias e informação.
Com a evolução ao nível do hardware móvel, a crescente popularidade de
smartphones, tablets e outros dispositivos moveis, fez com que a exigência
em termos de capacidade e taxa de transferência por parte das redes móveis
não parasse de crescer.
As limitações das redes 3G fizeram com que não conseguissem corresponder
a tais exigências e como tal, a transição para uma tecnologia mais robusta e
eficiente passou a ser inevitável. A resposta escolhida como solução a longo
prazo é a rede designada por LTE, desenvolvida pela organização 3GPP é
assumido que será a rede de telecomunicações predominante no futuro. As
vantagens mais sonantes são, naturalmente, elevadas taxas de transmissão,
maior eficiência espectral, redução da latência e de custos de operação. As
principais tecnologias em que o LTE se baseia, são o OFDM e sua variante
para múltiplo acesso, OFDMA, usado para o downlink e o SC-FDMA para
o uplink. Além disso, usa sistemas com múltiplas antenas para impulsionar
a eficiência espectral. Apesar de já implementado em alguns países por
diversas operadoras, constantes pesquisas continuam a ser realizadas com
o intuito de melhorar a sua performance.
Nesta dissertação é proposto um esquema duplo de codificação na frequência
e no espaço (D-SFBC) para um cenário baseado em OFDM com 4
antenas de transmissão e duas antenas de recepção (4 × 2 D-SFBC) para
o downlink. No cenário considerado, 4 símbolos de dados são transmitidos
utilizando unicamente 2 sub-portadoras, fazendo com que, este sistema seja
limitado pela interferência. Para de forma eficiente descodificar os símbolos
de dados transmitidos, foi desenvolvido um equalizador iterativo no domínio
da frequência. Duas abordagens são consideradas: cancelamento da interferência
em paralelo (PIC) e sucessivo cancelamento de interferência (SIC).
Uma vez que apenas 2 sub-portadoras são usadas para transmitir quatro
símbolos de dados em paralelo, o esquema desenvolvido duplica a taxa de
dados quando comparado com o esquema 2 × 2 SFBC, especificado no
standard do LTE.
Os esquemas desenvolvidos foram avaliados sob as especificações para LTE
e usando codificação de canal. Os resultados mostram que os esquemas
implementados neste trabalho utilizando um equalizador iterativo supera os
convencionais equalizadores lineares na eliminação da interferência adicional
introduzida, em apenas 2 ou 3 iterações.Performance, mobility and sharing can be assumed as the three keywords
in the mobile communications nowadays. One of the fundamental needs of
human beings is to share experiences and information. With the evolution of
mobile hardware level, the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets and
other mobile devices, has made that the demand in terms of capacity and
throughput by mobile networks did not stop growing.
Thus, the limitations of 3G stops it of being the answer of such demand, and
a transition to a powerful technology has become unavoidable. The answer
chosen is LTE, developed by the 3GPP organization is assumed to be the
predominant telecommunications network in the future. The most relevant
advantages are high transmission rates, higher spectral efficiency, reducing
latency and operating costs. The key technologies in which LTE is based,
are OFDM and its variant schemes for multiple access, OFDMA, used for
downlink, and SC-FDMA for the uplink. It also uses multiple antennas systems
in order to improve spectral efficiency. Although already implemented
in some countries by several operators, continuous research is conducted in
order to improve their performance.
In this dissertation it is proposed a double space-frequency block coding
(D-SFBC) scheme for an OFDM based scenario with 4 transmit antennas
and 2 receive antennas (4×2 D-SFBC) for the downlink. In the considered
scenario, 4 data symbols are transmitted by using only 2 subcarriers and thus
the system is interference limited. To efficiently decode the transmitted data
symbols an iterative equalizer designed in frequency domain is developed.
Two approaches are considered: parallel interference cancellation (PIC) and
successive interference cancellation (SIC). Since only 2 subcarriers are used
to transmit 4 data symbols in parallel the developed scheme achieve the
double data rate when compared with the 2×2 SFBC, specified in the LTE
standard.
The developed schemes were evaluated under the main LTE specifications
and using channel coding. The results have show that the schemes implemented
in this work using an interactive equalizer outperforms the conventional
linear equalizers in the interference removal, just by using 2 or 3
iterations
TD-SCDMA Relay Networks
PhDWhen this research was started, TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code
Division Multiple Access) was still in the research/ development phase, but
now, at the time of writing this thesis, it is in commercial use in 10 large cities in
China including Beijing and Shang Hai. In all of these cities HSDPA is enabled.
The roll-out of the commercial deployment is progressing fast with installations
in another 28 cities being underway now.
However, during the pre-commercial TD-SCDM trail in China, which started
from year 2006, some interference problems have been noticed especially in the
network planning and initialization phases. Interference is always an issue in
any network and the goal of the work reported in this thesis is to improve
network coverage and capacity in the presence of interference.
Based on an analysis of TD-SCDMA issues and how network interference arises,
this thesis proposes two enhancements to the network in addition to the
standard N-frequency technique. These are (i) the introduction of the concentric
circle cell concept and (ii) the addition of a relay network that makes use of
other users at the cell boundary. This overall approach not only optimizes the
resilience to interference but increases the network coverage without adding
more Node Bs.
Based on the cell planning parameters from the research, TD-SCDMA HSDPA
services in dense urban area and non-HSDPA services in rural areas were
simulated to investigate the network performance impact after introducing the
relay network into a TD-SCDMA network.
The results for HSDPA applications show significant improvement in the TDSCDMA
relay network both for network capacity and network interference
aspects compared to standard TD-SCDMA networks. The results for non-
HSDPA service show that although the network capacity has not changed after
adding in the relay network (due to the code limitation in TD-SCDMA), the
TD-SCDMA relay network has better interference performance and greater
coverage

Técnicas de equalização e pré-codificação para sistemas MC-CDMA
Mestrado em Engenharia Eletrónica e TelecomunicaçõesO número de dispositivos com ligações e aplicações sem fios está a aumentar exponencialmente, causando problemas de interferência e diminuindo a capacidade do sistema. Isto desencadeou uma procura por uma eficiência espectral superior e, consequentemente, tornou-se necessário desenvolver novas arquitecturas celulares que suportem estas novas exigências.
Coordenação ou cooperação multicelular é uma arquitectura promissora para sistemas celulares sem fios. Esta ajuda a mitigar a interferência entre células, melhorando a equidade e a capacidade do sistema. É, portanto, uma arquitectura já em estudo ao abrigo da tecnologia LTE-Advanced sob o conceito de coordenação multiponto (CoMP). Nesta dissertação, considerámos um sistema coordenado MC-CDMA com pré-codificação e equalização iterativas.
Uma das técnicas mais eficientes de pré-codificação é o alinhamento de interferências (IA). Este é um conceito relativamente novo que permite aumentar a capacidade do sistema em canais de elevada interferência. Sabe-se que, para os sistemas MC-CDMA, os equalizadores lineares convencionais não são os mais eficientes, devido à interferência residual entre portadoras (ICI). No entanto, a equalização iterativa no domínio da frequência (FDE) foi identificada como sendo uma das técnicas mais eficientes para lidar com ICI e explorar a diversidade oferecida pelos sistemas MIMO MC-CDMA. Esta técnica é baseada no conceito Iterative Block Decision Feedback Equalization (IB-DFE).
Nesta dissertação, é proposto um sistema MC-CDMA que une a pré-codificação iterativa do alinhamento de interferências no transmissor ao equalizador baseado no IB-DFE, com cancelamento sucessivo de interferências (SIC) no receptor. Este é construído por dois blocos: um filtro linear, que mitiga a interferência inter-utilizador, seguido por um bloco iterativo no domínio da frequência, que separa eficientemente os fluxos de dados espaciais na presença de interferência residual inter-utilizador alinhada. Este esquema permite atingir o número máximo de graus de liberdade e permite simultaneamente um ganho óptimo de diversidade espacial. O desempenho deste esquema está perto do filtro adaptado- Matched Filter Bound (MFB).The number of devices with wireless connections and applications is increasing exponentially, causing interference problems and reducing the system’s capacity gain. This initiated a search for a higher spectral efficiency and therefore it became necessary to develop new cellular architectures that support these new requirements.
Multicell cooperation or coordination is a promising architecture for cellular wireless systems to mitigate intercell interference, improving system fairness and increasing capacity, and thus is already under study in LTE-Advanced under the coordinated multipoint (CoMP) concept. In this thesis, efficient iterative precoding and equalization is considered for coordinated MC-CDMA based systems.
One of the most efficient precoding techniques is interference alignment (IA), which is a relatively new concept that allows high capacity gains in interfering channels. It is well known that for MC-CDMA systems standard linear equalizers are not the most efficient due to residual inter carrier interference (ICI). However, iterative frequency-domain equalization (FDE) has been identified as one of the most efficient technique to deal with ICI and exploit the inherent space-frequency diversity of the MIMO MC-CDMA systems, namely the one based on Iterative Block Decision Feedback Equalization (IB-DFE) concept.
In this thesis, it is proposed a MC-CDMA system that joins iterative IA precoding at the transmitter with IB-DFE successive interference cancellation (SIC) based receiver structure. The receiver is implemented in two steps: a linear filter, which mitigates the inter-user aligned interference, followed by an iterative frequency-domain receiver, which efficiently separates the spatial streams in the presence of residual inter-user aligned interference. This scheme provides the maximum degrees of freedom (DoF) and allows almost the optimum space-diversity gain. The scheme performance is close to the matched filter bound (MFB)
Power control for WCDMA
This project tries to introduce itself in the physical implementations that make
possible the denominated third generation mobile technology. As well as to
know the technology kind that makes possible, for example, a video-call in real
time.
During this project, the different phases passed from the election of WCDMA
like the access method for UMTS will appear. Its coexistence with previous
network GSM will be analyzed, where the compatibility between systems has
been one of the most important aspects in the development of WCDMA, the
involved standardization organisms in the process, as well as the different
protocols that make the mobile communications within a network UTRAN
possible. Special emphasis during the study of the great contribution that has
offered WCDMA with respect to the control of power of the existing signals will
be made.
The future lines that are considered in the present, and other comment that
already are in their last phase of development in the field of the mobile
technology.
UMTS through WCDMA can be summarized like a revolution of the air
interface accompanied by a revolution in the network of their architecture
LTE-verkon suorituskyvyn parantaminen CDMA2000:sta LTE:hen tehdyn muutoksen jälkeen
CDMA2000 technology has been widely used on 450 MHz band. Recently the equipment availability and improved performance offered by LTE has started driving the operators to migrate their networks from CDMA2000 to LTE. The migration may cause the network performance to be in suboptimal state.
This thesis presents four methods to positively influence LTE network performance after CDMA2000 to LTE migration, especially on 450 MHz band. Furthermore, three of the four presented methods are evaluated in a live network. The measured three methods were cyclic prefix length, handover parameter optimization and uplink coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of each method. The research methods included field measurements and network KPI collection.
The results show that normal cyclic prefix length is enough for LTE450 although the cell radius may be up to 50km. Only special cases exist where cyclic prefix should be extended. Operators should consider solving such problems individually instead of widely implementing extended cyclic prefix.
Handover parameter optimization turned out to be an important point of attention after CDMA2000 to LTE migration. It was observed that if the handover parameters are not concerned, significant amount of unnecessary handovers may happen. It was evaluated that about 50% of the handovers in the network were unnecessary in the initial situation. By adjusting the handover parameter values 47,28 % of the handovers per user were removed and no negative effects were detected.
Coordinated multipoint transmission has been widely discussed to be an effective way to improve LTE network performance, especially at the cell edges. Many challenges must be overcome before it can be applied to downlink. Also, implementing it to function between cells in different eNBs involve challenges. Thus, only intra-site uplink CoMP transmission was tested. The results show that the performance improvements were significant at the cell edges as theory predicted.CDMA2000 teknologiaa on laajalti käytetty 450 MHz:n taajuusalueella. Viime aikoina LTE:n tarjoamat halvemmat laitteistot ja parempi suorituskyky ovat kannustaneet operaattoreita muuttamaan verkkoaan CDMA2000:sta LTE:hen. Kyseinen muutos saattaa johtaa epäoptimaaliseen tilaan verkon suorituskyvyn kannalta.
Tämä työ esittelee neljä menetelmää, joilla voidaan positiivisesti vaikuttaa LTE-verkon suorituskykyyn CDMA2000:ste LTE:hen tehdyn muutoksen jälkeen erityisesti 450 MHz:n taajuusalueella. Kolmea näistä menetelmistä arvioidaan tuotantoverkossa. Nämä kolme menetelmää ovat suojavälin pituus, solunvaihtoparametrien optimointi ja ylälinkin koordinoitu monipistetiedonsiirto. Tavoite oli määrittää kunkin menetelmän vaikutus. Tutkimusmenetelmiin kuului kenttämittaukset ja verkon suorituskykymittareiden analyysi.
Tutkimustulosten perusteella voidaan sanoa, että normaali suojaväli on riittävän pitkä LTE450:lle vaikka solujen säde on jopa 50km. Vain erikoistapauksissa tarvitaan pidennettyä suojaväliä. Operaattoreiden tulisi ratkaista tällaiset tapaukset yksilöllisesti sen sijaan, että koko verkossa käytettäisiin pidennettyä suojaväliä.
Solunvaihtoparametrien optimointi osoittautui tärkeäksi huomion aiheeksi CDMA2000:sta LTE:hen tehdyn muutoksen jälkeen. Turhia solunvaihtoja saattaa tapahtua merkittäviä määriä, mikäli parametreihin ei kiinnitetä huomiota. Lähtötilanteessa noin 50 % testiverkon solunvaihdoista arvioitiin olevan turhia. Solunvaihtoparametreja muuttamalla 47,28 % solunvaihdoista per käyttäjä saatiin poistettua ilman, että mitään haittavaikutuksia olisi huomattu.
Koordinoidun monipistetiedonsiirron on laajalti sanottu olevan tehokas tapa parantaa LTE-verkon suorituskykyä, etenkin solujen reunoilla. Monia haasteita pitää ratkaista, enne kuin sitä voidaan käyttää alalinkin tiedonsiirtoon. Lisäksi sen käyttöön eri tukiasemien solujen välillä liittyy haasteita. Tästä syystä monipistetiedonsiirtoa voitiin testata vain ylälinkin suuntaan ja vain yhden tukiaseman välisten solujen kesken. Tulokset osoittivat, että suorituskyky parani merkittävästi solun reunalla
Multicarrier CDMA: A very promissing multiple access scheme for future wideband wireless networks
International audienceIn this paper, multicarrier techniques are studied in the context of the future wideband wireless networks. After a brief presentation of the third generation mobile networks, MC-CDMA systems are considered for the downlink of the future high rate cellular networks. The performance of different mono-user and multi-user detection techniques are compared with the help of Monte Carlo simulations over a frequency selective Rayleigh channel. Thus, the efficiency of MC-CDMA as a very promising multiple access and robust modulation scheme is successfully demonstrated for the downlink of the future wideband mobile networks. Finally, the first results concerning the performance of Multicarrier CDMA technique combined with space-time block coding in order to build a Multiple Input Multiple Output/MC-CDMA system are presented over a Rayleigh channel
Adaptive Resource Allocation Strategies for Dynamic Heterogeneous Traffic in Td-cdma/Tdd Systems
The purpose of this study was to investigate the co-channel interference present in TD-CDMA/TDD systems and TDMA/TDD systems and propose methods to avoid the co-channel interference. Time Slot Opposing algorithm which avoids co-channel interference in TD-CDMA/D-TDD system is reviewed as part of background study. The interference scenarios in TDMA/D-TDD systems are then studied and methods to avoid co-channel interference are proposed. The algorithms are then tested using real Internet data traffic to obtain a realistic analysis. Based on the background research, an extended Max {SIR} algorithm is proposed to avoid co-channel interference in TDMA/D-TDD systems. This algorithm is a centralized dynamic channel allocation algorithm that uses information from all the cells in the system to avoid co-channel interference and increase the signal power-to-interference power outage probability ratio. The proposed algorithm is then applied to a TDMA/D-TDD system that have subscribers grouped based on priority. As a last step of the research, traffic in TDMA/D-TDD systems is modeled using the ON-OFF traffic modeling and the Max {SIR} algorithm is applied. The results obtained using ON-OFF traffic modeling matched with the results obtained using analytical simulations.School of Electrical & Computer Engineerin
