Spectrum efficiency for future wireless communications

Abstract: Driven by new services and terminal capabilities, mobile data traffic has grown dramatically over the past several years and is continuing to grow rapidly. According to
a forecast by Cisco, the global mobile data traffic grew 70 percent in 2012, and will increase 13-fold between 2012 and 2017. As a result, there is an explosive
demand for wireless data capacity. This demand for data may be met by (i) new spectrum,(ii) more efficient use of spectrum: shared UL/DL spectrum (dynamic TDD)
has been proposed with this goal in mind, and (iii) increasing cell density, allowing spatial reuse of resources to increase system capacity. In this presentation, we
propose and evaluate three techniques for spectrum efficiency improvement, namely, the dynamic TDD, full-duplex relaying and 3D beamforming. For dynamic TDD,
we apply results from stochastic geometry to derive expressions for the distribution of DL signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at an arbitrary UE and the
distribution of UL SINR at its serving base station (BS). System level simulations are also conducted to evaluate the performance of dynamic TDD and the related
interference issues under more general and realistic system assumptions. Then a frequency domain interference coordination technique is provided, and the superior
performance of the proposed scheme over conventional frequency reuse technique and no interference coordination scenario is verified by system level simulations.
For full-duplex relaying, we investigate the optimal resource allocation (both power and relay location) for full-duplex decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems.
Analytic and numerical results are provided to demonstrate advantages of the resource optimization. Finally, novel 3D beamforming schemes are proposed and
evaluated for capacity enhancement and traffic load balancing in LTE small cells.
