Introduction • Spectrum sharing has been recently proposed as a promising paradigm to improve the efficiency of resource usage in the next generation mobile networks. • Non orthogonal spectrum sharing (NOSS) allows the operators to reuse the available frequencies at the cost of higher interference at the receivers. • Our work focus on: • the characterizationof the degradationof the SINR in a NOSS scenario; • the definition and the statisticalanalysisofthreedifferent NOSS schedulers; • the definitionofthreeadditionalhybrid (OSS-NOSS) schedulers; • the estimationof the schedulers performance throught the NS3 simulator. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it

MIMO Beamforming background The Multiple-InputMultiple-Output (MIMO) techniqueis the useof multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receivertoimprovecommunication performance. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
MIMO Beamforming background fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
MIMO Beamforming background • SU-MIMO: multiple antennas are usedto serve a userover a time/frequencyresource • spatialdiversity: increase the reliabilitybytransmit and receive the information overdifferentspatialdimensions; • spatial-multiplexing: send multiple data layersoverdifferentdimensions • beamforming: maximize the SNR over a given link, byproperlycombining the channelover multiple dimensions. • MU-MIMO: simultaneouscommunicationsof multiple usersover the sametime/frequencyresource. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
MIMO Beamforming background We consider a Multi-Input Single-Output system (MISO) and we assume a perfect knowledge at the BSs of the coefficientschannelcolumnvectorhij. In the case ofOrtogonalSpectrumSharing (OSS) the Maximum-transmissionRatio (MRT) beamforming SU-MIMO schemeisadopted. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
MIMO Beamforming background In the case of NOSS, the MRT techniqueisinefficient due the large amount of interferences create from the BSs to the users. Thus a Zero Forcing (ZF) MU-MIMO schemeisadopted. NOSS IS-NOSS fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
Analyticalevaluation To study the SINR perceived by the user in the NOSS case we define two parameters: Thus, it is possible to obtain the statistical behavior of ISR from the probability distribution of ρ, that in turn depends on the choice of the scheduler. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
Analyticalevaluation • Wedefinethreedifferentschedulersfor the IS-NOSS and NOSS scenarios: • M-SNRscheduler: best SNR users in the overall pool; • M-ISR scheduler: best ISR users in the overall pool; • PSscheduler: priorityto the operatorthatowns the spectrumresourcethatselect the userin its pool with the best no-sharing SNR. Then the other • operator chooses in its pool the user achieving the best ρ. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
Analyticalevaluation: IS-NOSS M-SNR From literature: Assuming a unit-variance Rayleight fading, i.e., hij~CN(0, I), the CDF of ρis given by the regularized incomplete beta function: M-ISR / PS where n is equal to the number of possible pairs in the network, i.e.: • for the M-ISR; • Ni if the owner operator is i, or Nz if the owner operator is z for the PS fguidolin@dei.unipd.it

Analyticalevaluation: NOSS The objectiveofthe scheduler is not to maximize a single value of but rather the sum of the values perceived by the base stations when a given pair is selected. M-SNR From literature: the CDF of the sum of two beta variables has a distribution given by: M-ISR / PS where n is equal to the number of possible pairs in the network, i.e.: • for the M-ISR; • Ni if the owner operator is i, or Nz if the owner operator is z for the PS fguidolin@dei.unipd.it

Hybridresourceallocationscheme: MR The Maximum Rate scheduler (MR) permitstomaximize the total spectralefficiency in the network. Fairness?? fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
Hybridresourceallocationscheme: BS In order to give a higher level of fairness we proposed a new scheduling algorithm able to manage the use of the NOSS scheme over the spectrum resource in function of the operators utility. Wehavebasedthis algorithm on a Nash bargaining solution. The operators negotiate for a specific ISR level (ISRthr), that permits to regulate the scheduling as: fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
Hybridresourceallocationscheme: BS The Nash bargaining solution is used to model situations in which two players can cooperate by negotiating an outcome or payoff from a set of feasible payoffs. Disagreementvector (Va, Vb) Achievablepayoff (Xa, Xb) fguidolin@dei.unipd.it

SimulationResults • To evaluate the performance of the scheduling algorithms proposed in a LTE system, we applied the traces obtained from the statistical analysis within the NS3 simulator. • Weevaluate the impact of the ISR parameter together with the SNR level perceived by the users on the downlink spectral efficiency • We compare the results also with: • the optimal OSS scheduler that chooses for every RB the user in the overall pool with the best SNR; • the optimal NOSS scheduler that selects the pair of users that achieve the best spectral efficiency for every RB fguidolin@dei.unipd.it

Conclusions and Future Work • We investigated the NOSS techniques through a statistical analysis of the ISR and a simulation analysis of the spectral efficiency obtained with the use of several scheduling techniques in a LTE network. • NOSS appears to be a promising technique for the performance improvement in NGMN, and a joint user scheduling among the operators can give further improvements in terms of spectral efficiency. • As a possible extension of the present work, the same approach can be applied to other beamforming techniques, and also extended to scenarios with multiple cells. • Moreover, different kind of utilities can be considered in the schedulers based on BS. fguidolin@dei.unipd.it
