Reuse and Interference • Channel reuse • Co-channel interference, multiple access interference • Radio access network (RAN) • Denser frequency reuse • Increased capacity • Increased interference • Decreased quality
Resource Reuse Schemes Soft frequency resue Partial frequency reuse

Intercell Interference Coordination (ICIC) Reuse factor: 1 / cluster size 1G, 2G: 1/7, 1/4 3G: 1/3 4G: 1 Ultimate reuse factor: 1 per cell (sector) Conventional static(a priori) resource allocation (scheduling): For the entire leased spectrum, or a big portion of it One reuse factor ICIC: Dynamic(aware) resource allocation for each RB, taking the channel and traffic into account Different reuse factor for each RB
Dynamic Design • Static design: Can not cope up with channel and traffic variations • Static and a priori resource allocation Dynamic resource allocation
Dynamic Design • Static design: Can not cope up with channel and traffic variations • Static and a priori resource allocation Dynamic resource allocation • ICIC: Intercell interference coordination (R8 – LTE) eICIC: enhanced ICIC (R10 – LTE-A) FeICIC: Further enhanced ICIC (R11, R12)
2G • Limited cooperation between APs (for handoff) • No cooperation between UEs • Interference: handle with fixed assignments not a great concern • RRM: easy; circuit-switched CBR applications power control • Perfect each AP-UE link PHY
3G/3G+/4G- • Limited cooperation between APs • No cooperation between UEs • Smaller cells • Denser reuse (every cell, every sector) • Interference: concern Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) • Scheduling: important
4G • HetNets (femto-/pico-APs, relay) • Cooperation between APs (ICIC, eICIC) • No cooperation between UEs • Scheduling: very important • Interference: may become unpredictable, becoming a concern
4G+/5G • Hi-HetNet (C-RAN, femto-/pico-APs, DAS, various types of relays including terminal relays) • Intense cooperation between select APs (feICIC, CoMP) • Cooperation between UEs • Interference: highly unpredictable (due to autonomous RRM decisions); major concern sophisticated, robust, good (not necessarily optimal) decisions partially centralized, partially distributed (opportunistically) learning (artificial intelligence)
5G+ • Indoors: # of APs >> # of UEs • Short distance, dedicated links • Optimized air interface • 60-90 GHz carrier, FSO • Highly directional antennas • Super ultra rates • Atto-cell + FTTDesk • Outdoor hot-spots: # of APs << # of UEs • Mesh connectivity • Issues similar to previous slide

Advanced RAN with Advanced RRM • Any fixed assignment is inefficient • cannot adapt to or exploit channel and traffic conditions • All decisions are dynamic and opportunistic • No a-priori partitioning of radio resources • No WT-BS assignment (dynamic routing in the mesh) • Reuse may be > 1 • Wired elements (BS, DA) and fixed relays: Cooperative RRM for interference management and avoidance • Nomadic, moving, and terminal relays: Robust, distributed, plug-and-play, low-overhead, sub-optimum RRM algorithms cognitive radio (spectrum, OSA), dynamic feedback control, machine learning, artificial intelligence inter-disciplinary • Very different from conventional cellular networks
