Our Research Beyond LTE-A • Some examples illustrating our research directions • Channel prediction • Coordinated Multi-Point transmission (CoMP) • 3D beamforming • Interference cancelling receivers (not strictly LTE-A standardisation related as it relates to receiver design) • Advanced relays
Advanced Channel Prediction LTE-A ARTIST4G • Channel measurement • Used in many techniques • SU/MU-MIMO • Beamforming • SDMA • Link Adaptation • Accuracy limited by feedback overhead • Traditional prediction: Kalman or Wiener filter • Limited prediction horizon • Fail in birth-death of multipath components • New scheme: model-based • 3D location + moving vector • Real world study: • Using LTE Test-bed • Promising results although complex in term of processing
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) • Study item stopped in R10 • Not included in LTE R10 • Technology not mature enough • Study Item R11 LTE-A ARTIST4G • A few eNB may jointly contribute to serve a UE • Potential to make capacity more smooth and movable to where users are • Coordinate and collaborate over multiple ’cells’ for macro-diversityandinterference avoidance
3D-Beamforming LTE-A ARTIST4G • This concept is not part of LTE R10 • Conventional fixed down-tilt causes interference • Objective: exploit also elevation dimension • Ground breaking innovation
Interference Cancelling • Full orthogonality provides interference avoidance • But known to be suboptimal in terms of capacity • Cancelling residual interference increases the capacity through resource re-use • But interference is not always easy to estimate • Controlling and structuring the interference opens ways to maximum capacity • Optimality relies in a trade-off between interference avoidance and exploitation • WP2 works on interference cancellation receiver using iterative algorithm (turbo principle) • various functions in the receiver collaborate (e.g. channel estimator, decoder) to extract the information
Advanced Relays • The relay standardized in LTE-A has the full eNB functionalities • can be seen as an eNodeB with a wireless backhaul operating in LTE spectrum • Expected benefits • Reduced cost: no backhaul, low-cost device • Easy and quick to deploy (no backhaul, small, low-power) • Foreseen main scenario: coverage enhancement LTE-A features ARTIST4G innovations • Advanced relays need to provide capacity in addition to coverage • CoMP on the relay feeder link. • Multi-hop relays • Moving relays
Toward a more uniform QoS • Target Peak/Average performances • From release to release, average over cell-edge ratio of throughput increases LTE-A ARTIST4G • Focus on a more uniform Qos • Use a new performance indicator: • Jain index applied on User throughput distribution • Adopted by 3GPP
Dissemination • Web site at : https://ict-artist4g.eu • Publications in conferences and magazines • 3journal papers • ~ 20 conferences articles in 2010 • ~15 papers in 2009 (before ARTIST4G) • A 3GPP contribution on CoMP • A press release • 2 issues of the Newsletter (available online)
