Inter-Operator Resource Sharing

GIGA Seminar 2011 © M. Juntti et al., University of Oulu, Dept. Electrical and Inform. Eng., Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) 8

NS = Non-Sharing (reference)ALL = Always to Least LoadedSSU = Sharing as a Secondary UserSIMPLE SNR and SNR+LL utilize linkquality information

T. Haataja, ”Performance studies on inter-operator resource sharing algorithms”, Master’s Thesis, 2009.

Throughput is defined as the number of bits persecond transferred over the whole system

• All algorithms show moderate to significant gains compared to NS case under all loading conditions

• Gains increase with network loading

• SNR and SNR + LL algorithms provide the highest gains, up to 30 –50 % increased throughput when compared to NS case

• ALL algorithm provides 15 – 20 % increase under moderate loading

• SSU provides constant gains, which settle between the gains of ALL and SNR based algorithms

• The gain saturation of ALL and SSU algorithms are more visible under heavy loading

Evaluation of IMT-A Proposals

WINNER+ project was one of the external evaluator groups for IMT-Advanced systems in ITU-RIMT-A evaluation activity in WINNER+

a complete evaluation of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) proposed by 3GPP,

The different concepts and technology solutions submitted to ITU-R were evaluated by means of link and system level simulations

According to the requirements of ITU-R for IMT-A and targets of standardisation for IMT-A.

LTE-A system was shown to comply with the IMT-A requirements set by ITU-R

Spectral efficiency results vs. ITU-R requirements for IMT-A systems

Results are based on the system level simulation guidelines defined by ITU-R and LTE-Advanced system assumptions

Complexity-Latency Trade-off

Receiver Latency Complexity Decoding rate

LMMSE 50.6 ns 30187 slices 316 Mb/s

SIC 58.75 ns 31017 slices 228 Mb/s

8-best LSD 347 ns 50942 slices 46 Mb/s

8-best LSD, 2 iter. 391 ns 50942 slices 46 Mb/s

4x4 16-QAM, Latency of detecting one symbol

As the number of antennas and the modulation order increase, the complexity and latency also increase. It then becomes more difficult to utilize the throughput increase provided by the extra antennas or higher modulation.

Hand + head effect on mobile terminal antenna

Measured absorption & mismatch losses in the calling mode with different hand grips.

M. Berg, M. Sonkki and E. Salonen, ” Experimental Study of Hand and Head Effects to Mobile Phone Antenna Radiation Properties” in Proc. EuCAP 2009, Berlin, Germany, pp. 437-440.S. Myllymaki, A. Huttunen, M. Berg, M. Komulainen and H. Jantunen ”A method for measuring user-induced load on a mobile terminal antenna”, Electronics Letters, vol.45, no.21, pp.1065-1066, October 8 2009

• Results show that the user’s hand very close to the antenna element causes a large influence on the antenna operation.

• Total efficiency decrease is mainly due to the absorption to head and hand.• The user caused impedance mismatch has a minor influence on the total

efficiency decrease.
