Frequently Asked Questions (14)
Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "A survey and comparison of device-to-device architecture using lte unlicensed band" ?
In future work, the authors plan to investigate the behaviour of D2D communication in these technologies using different scenarios in simulation and testbeds.
Q3. What is the effect of LTEfire on the network?
LTE-LAA has higher throughput for smaller load but the throughput decreases as the load increases and also Wi-Fi throughput degrades.
Q4. What is the biggest issue of LTE-U?
The biggest issue of LTE-U is its intrusion to Wi-Fi, as it can block the access to Wi-Fi users by giving priority to LTE-U users.
Q5. What is the primary goal of MuLTEfire?
The primary goal for MuLTEfire is to provide a seamless user experience in a hyperdense network by combining the benefits of LTE technology with the simplicity of WiFi like deployments.
Q6. What is the main disadvantage of LTE?
LTE-U/LTE-LAA carrier aggregates the licensed and unlicensed band to further improve the performance, whereas LWA aggregates the link of licensed and unlicensed band and MuLTEfire solely operates in unlicensed band.
Q7. What is the main problem of LTE-U?
Carrier Wi-Fi can lead to ineffectiveness of network management and low spectrum efficiency as it adopts different access and management mechanisms from LTE networks [5].
Q8. What is the effect of D2D communication in MuLTEfire?
Whereas LWA can provide better throughput than LTE-LAA for a large network and has minimal effect on the Wi-Fi users as there is no contention between the users.
Q9. What is the effect of D2D communication in the given scenerio?
The throughput of Wi-Fi users degrades in the presence of LTE-LAA small cell, as preference is given to LTE-LAA users over Wi-Fi users.
Q10. What is the main goal of MuLTEfire?
According to Qualcomm, MuLTEFire will benefit mobile operators with new deployment opportunities for offloading their mobile network traffic [10].
Q11. What is the main disadvantage of MuLTEfire?
MuLTEfire has higher throughput as it operates entirely in an unlicensed band using LBT and has more chance to capture the channel and transmit data.
Q12. Why does LTE fire have a higher throughput when it is used in a small?
This is because LTE has a continuously as well as a periodically transmitting protocol to transfer a variety of control and reference signals whereas Wi-Fi is designed to coexist with other technologies through random backoff and channel sensing.
Q13. What is the effect of D2D communication in the case of MuLTEfire?
in case of MuLTEfire, the Wi-Fi throughput degrades further as it is LTE that is operating solely in an unlicensed band.
Q14. What is the effect of D2D communication in LTE-LAA?
incase of LWA the Wi-Fi throughput is does not degrade much as there is no contention problem between the Wi-Fi and LWA users and can share the spectrum fairly.
