Outline • Background • Objective • COMP • Relay • Simulation Scenario • Simulation Results • Conclusion • Future Task • Questions & Suggestions
Background LTE-Advanced Requirement • Data Rates of 1Gbps in DL and 500Mbps in UL • High Spectral Efficiency both in DL (30 bps/Hz) and UL (15bps/Hz) • Cell edge Capacity Enhancement Candidate Technology • Carrier Aggregation (CA) • Extended MIMO (E-MIMO) • Coordinated Multipoint Transmission/Reception (COMP) • Heterogeneous Network (HetNet)
Objective • To investigate the performance at Backhaul in terms of SINR and throughput with the implementation of different COMP techniques and without applying COMP. • To analyze the indoor user performance with and without nomadic relays. On top of that, with and without COMP technique is applied at relay link to study indoor user performance.
COMP • Offers Coordination between eNB to eNB • Coordination between small cells • Users served from different geographically located transmission points. • Interconnections among different transmission points Types of COMP • Coordinated Scheduling/beamforming • Joint Processing
COMP CS/CB Joint Processing • Dynamic Point Blanking (DPB) • Quantized Co-Phasing (QCP) • Intra-QCP • Inter-QCP
Relaying Relay Node (RN) • Small power wireless base station connected via donor cell to the core network. • Low Transmission power (30dBm). • Wireless Backhaul which eliminate the high cost of fixed link. Expected Improvements • Provide Coverage in new areas • Temporary network deployment • Cell edge throughput • Coverage of high data rate • Group mobility Macro Overlaid Relay Network • Relay Link (Relay-DeNB) • Access Link (UE-Relay) • Direct Link (DeNB-UE)
Relaying Classification of Relay • Infrastructure Based Relay • Fixed RN • Nomadic RN • Mobile RN • Protocol Based Relay • Layer 1 RN • Layer 2 RN • Layer 3 RN • Resource Usage Based Relay • In Band Relay • Out Band Relay
Simulation Scenario • Scenario 1: 3GPP Defined Layout • Scenario 2: Realistic Building Layout Scenario 1 Network Layout • 7 tri-sectored hexagonal cell • In band type 1 Nomadic Relay Node • 5x5 building (25 flats) • 8 indoor users • 10 outdoor UEs per sector • ISD 500m
Scenario 2 Network Layout • Institute of Radio Frequency, University of Stuttgart, Germany. • Proposed network area is subdivided into pixels with certain resolution (10*10m for Outdoor area, 2*2m for Indoor area) • Path loss values for each pixel against all access point (Macro base station and Relay node) ..Winprop tool used. • Four tri-sectored Macro sites and Nine Relay nodes. • 8 Indoor and 130 Outdoor UEs randomly distributed over the building and whole geographic area, respectively.
UE SINR Note: The number ’0’ represents the serving eNB or RN. Numerator gives the received signal power from serving base station while denominator gives the co-channel interference and noise power from the interferes.
Resource Scheduling . Resource Scheduling Method: • Round Robin Scheduling allocates PRBs to the UEs connected to RN. • Max-Min Fairness reallocates the PRBs. • Backhaul rate works as bottleneck. Channel Models: • A modified version of COST-231 is proposed namely COST231-Walfisch-Ikegami (WI) Model. • Dominant Path Model
Conclusion • Better backhaul link , therefore better access link • UE throughput Improved due to implementation of RN
Future Work • The future work incorporating multiple tasks to be investigated as follow; • Use of Multiple relay at the same time • Resource scheduling while using multiple relay • Implementation of DPB and Intra-QCP need much more attention.
