26 Feb 2008TL;DR: In this paper, a base station apparatus for performing time and frequency scheduling in uplink packet access with an interference amount measurement part configured to measure an uplink interference amount for each interference measurement unit which comprises a predetermined period and a predetermined number of frequency blocks was provided.
Abstract: The object is achieved by providing a base station apparatus for performing time and frequency scheduling in uplink packet access with: an interference amount measurement part configured to measure an uplink interference amount for each interference amount measurement unit which comprises a predetermined period and a predetermined number of frequency blocks; an interference amount determination part configured to determine whether the uplink interference amount satisfies a predetermined condition; and an overload indicator reporting part configured to report an overload indicator to a neighboring cell when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

TL;DR: An overview of 60 GHz technology and its potentials to provide next generation multigigabit wireless communications systems is presented and the roles of antennas in establishing a reliable 60 GHz radio are highlighted.
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of 60 GHz technology and its potentials to provide next generation multigigabit wireless communications systems. We begin by reviewing the state-of-art of the 60 GHz radio. Then, the current status of worldwide regulatory efforts and standardization activities for 60 GHz band is summarized. As a result of the worldwide unlicensed 60 GHz band allocation, a number of key applications can be identified using millimeter-wave technology. Despite of its huge potentials to achieve multigigabit wireless communications, 60 GHz radio presents a series of technical challenges that needs to be resolved before its full deployment. Specifically, we will focus on the link budget analysis from the 60 GHz radio propagation standpoint and highlight the roles of antennas in establishing a reliable 60 GHz radio.

TL;DR: This article proposes four paradigms for developing a self-organized network function and shows how they are reflected in current protocols: design local interactions that achieve global properties, exploit implicit coordination, minimize the maintained state, and design protocols that adapt to changes.
Abstract: The trend toward ubiquitous wireless communication demands for a higher level of self-organization in networks. This article gives an introduction and overview on this topic and investigates the fundamental question: What are design paradigms for developing a self-organized network function? We propose four paradigms and show how they are reflected in current protocols: design local interactions that achieve global properties, exploit implicit coordination, minimize the maintained state, and design protocols that adapt to changes. Finally, we suggest a general design process for self-organized network functions.

TL;DR: This work introduces a reverse iterative combinatorial auction as the allocation mechanism for mobile peer-to-peer communication, and proves that the proposed auction-based scheme is cheat-proof, and converges in a finite number of iteration rounds.
Abstract: Peer-to-peer communication has been recently considered as a popular issue for local area services. An innovative resource allocation scheme is proposed to improve the performance of mobile peer-to-peer, i.e., device-to-device (D2D), communications as an underlay in the downlink (DL) cellular networks. To optimize the system sum rate over the resource sharing of both D2D and cellular modes, we introduce a reverse iterative combinatorial auction as the allocation mechanism. In the auction, all the spectrum resources are considered as a set of resource units, which as bidders compete to obtain business while the packages of the D2D pairs are auctioned off as goods in each auction round. We first formulate the valuation of each resource unit, as a basis of the proposed auction. And then a detailed non-monotonic descending price auction algorithm is explained depending on the utility function that accounts for the channel gain from D2D and the costs for the system. Further, we prove that the proposed auction-based scheme is cheat-proof, and converges in a finite number of iteration rounds. We explain non-monotonicity in the price update process and show lower complexity compared to a traditional combinatorial allocation. The simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm efficiently leads to a good performance on the system sum rate.

TL;DR: This paper proposes an improved Network-MIMO TDD architecture achieving spectral efficiencies comparable with "Massive MIMO", with one order of magnitude fewer antennas per active user per cell (roughly, from 500 to 50 antennas).
Abstract: Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) allows to estimate the downlink channels for an arbitrarily large number of base station antennas from a finite number of orthogonal uplink pilot signals, by exploiting channel reciprocity. Based on this observation, a recently proposed "Massive MIMO" scheme was shown to achieve unprecedented spectral efficiency in realistic conditions of distance-dependent pathloss and channel coherence time and bandwidth. The main focus and contribution of this paper is an improved Network-MIMO TDD architecture achieving spectral efficiencies comparable with "Massive MIMO", with one order of magnitude fewer antennas per active user per cell (roughly, from 500 to 50 antennas). The proposed architecture is based on a family of Network-MIMO schemes defined by small clusters of cooperating base stations, zero-forcing multiuser MIMO precoding with suitable inter-cluster interference mitigation constraints, uplink pilot signals allocation and frequency reuse across cells. The key idea consists of partitioning the users into equivalence classes, optimizing the Network-MIMO scheme for each equivalence class, and letting a scheduler allocate the channel time-frequency dimensions to the different classes in order to maximize a suitable network utility function that captures a desired notion of fairness. This results in a mixed-mode Network-MIMO architecture, where different schemes, each of which is optimized for the served user equivalence class, are multiplexed in time-frequency. In order to carry out the performance analysis and the optimization of the proposed architecture in a systematic and computationally efficient way, we consider the large-system regime where the number of users, the number of antennas, and the channel coherence block length go to infinity with fixed ratios.
