Abstract: This very up-to-date and practical book, written by engineers working closely in 3GPP, gives insight into the newest technologies and standards adopted by 3GPP, with detailed explanations of the specific solutions chosen and their implementation in HSPA and LTE. The key technologies presented include multi-carrier transmission, advanced single-carrier transmission, advanced receivers, OFDM, MIMO and adaptive antenna solutions, advanced radio resource management and protocols, and different radio network architectures. Their role and use in the context of mobile broadband access in general is explained. Both a high-level overview and more detailed step-by-step explanations of HSPA and LTE implementation are given. An overview of other related systems such as TD SCDMA, CDMA2000, and WIMAX is also provided.This is a 'must-have' resource for engineers and other professionals working with cellular or wireless broadband technologies who need to know how to utilize the new technology to stay ahead of the competition.The authors of the book all work at Ericsson Research and are deeply involved in 3G development and standardisation since the early days of 3G research. They are leading experts in the field and are today still actively contributing to the standardisation of both HSPA and LTE within 3GPP. * Gives the first explanation of the radio access technologies and key international standards for moving to the next stage of 3G evolution: fully operational mobile broadband* Describes the new technologies selected by the 3GPP to realise High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) for mobile broadband * Gives both higher-level overviews and detailed explanations of HSPA and LTE as specified by 3GPP

TL;DR: A novel transport layer application - queue-length-based congestion control algorithm (QCC), on top of TCP that tackles the problem of bufferbloat to provide better QoS for applications requiring low end-to-end delay and/or high bandwidth utilization.
Abstract: Knowledge of the queue length and link buffer size of the bottleneck link has many potential applications such as congestion control, traffic engineering, traffic policing, content adaptation, QoS monitoring and provisioning, etc. A recent work proposed a new Sum-of-Delay (SoD) algorithm which can accurately estimate such link properties in mobile networks. This work presents a delay variation compensation algorithm - Sum-of-Delay with Timestamp (SoD-TS), to further improve SoD's estimation accuracy in networks with large uplink delay variations. The proposed algorithm exploits the existing TCP Timestamp option which is widely deployed and thus can be implemented without modification to the receiver's TCP implementation. By making use of SoD-TS we developed a novel transport layer application - queue-length-based congestion control algorithm (QCC), on top of TCP that tackles the problem of bufferbloat to provide better QoS for applications requiring low end-to-end delay and/or high bandwidth utilization. Trace-driven simulation shows that SoD-TS can effectively eliminate estimation errors caused by uplink delay variations. Moreover, by applying QCC to the widely deployed TCP CUBIC it can reduce the RTT by a factor of over 3.6 while still achieving over 87% bandwidth utilization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study video streaming behavior on the LTE network and define ten scenarios for their simulations and finally search for methods to fit the video streaming data traffic on a LTE network.
Abstract: The demand for multimedia services in mobile communication is increasing day by day due to the proliferation of end devices. To overcome the future needs of data communication on mobile devices, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced a new technology which is known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) UMTS. In this paper, we study video streaming behavior on the LTE network. For this purpose, we use the Vienna LTE System Level Simulator which implements network features that correspond to our goal. We consider the parameters that may affect the users experience on a network and define ten scenarios for our simulations. We finally search for methods to fit the video streaming data traffic on the LTE network and exhibit its long range dependence.

TL;DR: The proposed MARA algorithm has a goal to improve overall throughput while maximizing achievement rate, i.e., maximize the number of users meeting QoS requirements and is investigated that MARA is more effective when fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is adopted as a frequency partitioning scheme.
Abstract: In multi-user OFDMA systems, adaptive resource allocation has been identified as one of the key technologies to have more flexibility and higher efficiency. Several adaptive subcarrier allocation algorithms with the objective to maximize spectral efficiency or fairness have been proposed. However, quality of service (QoS) requirement of each user may not be supported. Some algorithms considering user's QoS requirement have been introduced, but they do not consider the case that every user's QoS requirement cannot be guaranteed with limited resources. In this paper, we propose a maximum achievement rate allocation (MARA) algorithm as a new adaptive resource allocation algorithm. The proposed MARA algorithm has a goal to improve overall throughput while maximizing achievement rate, i.e., maximize the number of users meeting QoS requirements. In addition, we investigate that MARA is more effective when fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is adopted as a frequency partitioning scheme. Simulation results show that the MARA algorithm improves the achievement rate as well as overall throughput. Moreover, further performance gains are achieved when FFR is adopted.

TL;DR: This work examines the interference alignment (IA) performance of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) multi-hop cognitive radio (CR) network in the presence of multiple primary users and shows that interference leakages can deteriorate both system performance and the diversity gains considerably.
Abstract: In this work, we examine the interference alignment (IA) performance of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) multi-hop cognitive radio (CR) network in the presence of multiple primary users. In the proposed architecture, it is assumed that linear IA is adopted at the secondary network to alleviate the interference between primary and secondary networks. By doing so, the secondary source can communicate with the secondary destination via multiple relays without causing any interference to the primary network. Even though linear IA can suppress the interference in CR networks considerably, interference leakages may occur due to a fast fading channel. To this end, we focus on the performance of the secondary network for two different cases: (i) the interference is perfectly aligned; (ii) the impact of interference leakages. For both cases, closed-form expressions of outage probability and ergodic capacity are derived. The results, which are validated by Monte Carlo simulations, show that interference leakages can deteriorate both system performance and the diversity gains considerably.
