SoluAons to Spectrum Crunch


•  3 soluAons [Qualcomm, SKT, Nokia] •  More cell density •  More spectrum •  More spectral efficiency

“New forecasts show much more spectrum is needed.” “Operators will conAnue to deploy new cells, including small cells, and will conAnue to upgrade networks to state-‐of-‐the-‐art 4G LTE technology to take advantage of improved spectral efficiency, but that is not enough.” [CTIA’15] CTIA report to FCC, June 22, 2015

More Cell Density

•  Small cells perform poorly •  Intercell interference [Andrews’15] •  Handoff overhead [3GPP-‐TR36.839]

•  SoluAons •  SON and ICIC [AT&T’12][Mao’08] •  CoMP [3GPP-‐TR36.819][ChinaMob’11]

•  High cost, difficult deployment •  Zoning permits •  Backhaul

•  LTE-‐U [Forum’15][Qualcomm’15] •  Operate LTE in ISM unlicensed 5GHz band •  Use 200 MHz of spectrum (+300 MHz for future use)

•  Millimeter-‐wave [Rappaport’14] •  Pros: large bandwidth [Heath’16]

•  BW=4GHz @ 28 and 38 GHz •  BW=7GHz @ 60 GHz

•  Cons: pathloss, body absorpAon (blocking) •  Short-‐range links, up to 200m •  ApplicaAons: WiGig fronthaul [Facebook’16]

[Qualcomm’15]

[Facebook’16]

More Spectral Efficiency

•  Massive-‐MIMO •  Theory: asymptoAcally noise/interference-‐free links [Marzeqa’10][Larsson’14] •  Requires upgrade to 4G LTE standard, proposed for Pre-‐5G [3GPP-‐Rel.13] •  PracAcal only at mmWave, complex RF design •  Centralized cellular architecture

•  Pilot contaminaAon •  CoordinaAon between cells

•  4-‐8x mux gain with 64-‐128 antennas [ZTE’16][Intel’16]

•  pCell •  Theory: [Caire’03][Viswanath’03][Yu’04][Foschini’06] •  Compliant with standard LTE Rel.8 devices, readily deployable •  Works at any frequency band, simple frequency-‐agile RRHs (pWaves) •  Distributed architecture, no cells •  16x mux gain with 24 antennas, can scale to higher orders

Conclusions

•  Higher SE is the pracAcal soluAon to “spectrum crunch”

•  Distributed antennas enable confined volumes with peak SINR

•  Volumes for mulAple users yield large spaAal mulAplexing gain

•  Large mulAplexing gain with a deployable SDR wireless plaTorm
