"Spatial Processing remains as the most
promising, if not the last frontier, in the
evolution of multiple access systems"
Andrew Viterbi
There are very few techniques proposedtoday, which are able to improve radio network
performance dramatically
- Spatial processing
- Multi-user detection
- Channel reuse based on polarization
- Advanced network control
Spatial processing is among them and can be
effectively combined with others techniques
How smart should be Smart Antennas techniques ?

Smart Antennas might be used at:
- A. BS only
up-link..coverage (HSR)&down-link..coverage + capacity, spectrum efficiency due to
reuse: between cells (SFIR),due to reuseinside cell (SDMA), both SDMA+SFIR
- B. MS/subscriber onlyup-linkcapacity/. due to the tighter channel reuse&down-link....coverage (WLL applications)
- C. Both endsMS and BSsimultaneously..coverage + capacity (A+B) + higher bit rateup-link & due to spatially multiplexed parallel channels anddown-link split high bit rate data streams between them or

ST processing. Optimization Criteria.
- Based on cost function maximization/minimization(max SINR,)-> difficult to obtain in practice
- Based on Statistical Estimation. MAP.
ML (Likelihood function)-> treats interference astemporally and spatially white Gaussian. Balanceeffect of noise. Complexity.
MSE -> more attractive in presence of correlatedCCI. ZF force could not balance effect of noise.MMSE partly solves this problem. Algorithmscomplexity spectrum efficiency. Blind methods.

phase modulated signals,- finite alphabet (FA) property of
digitally modulated signals ,- spectral coherence restoral SCORE
(only information needed - bit rate)

Spatial processing: Summary
DoABF
- better perform in environments with low angular spread- require AoA estimation and calibration- can work in higher Doppler spread- feasible with FDD applications- macrocell environment
TRB or/and OC (Blind Algorithms)- well perform in environments with high angular spread- require reference signal (spectrum efficiency), synchronization- well suit for TDD (micro/pico cells), FDD is more problematicmicro and picocell- temporal structure based algorithms can better handledelay spread, but higher speed can be problem- more robust methods in changing environment (adaptive algorithms)

- In non-multiuser case users are seen as interference to each
other and there are many weaker CCI in the uplink. Capacityis improved due to reduction of TRX power
- Multipath gives rise to the MAI due to the losses of codesorthogonality. Can be improved with SA.
- Code can be seen as a free reference signal
- Wideband beamforming realization and methods of AoAestimation are different from narrowband
- Channel estimations can be based on spreading codes andit presumes introduction of novel techniques

Three Stages of Introduction Smart Antennas

3. Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA)

HSR concept
- SA at the up-link only
- Gain approximately 10logM
- with 8 elements reduction of
number of BS by factor of 0.3
only by factor of 0.5 with diversity
- revolving beam technique improve coverage of BCH

7/31/2019 SC03_10r1 Smart Antenna

- CCI cancellation + SA at the down-link
- capacity improvement of 2.5 require 6dB
CIR improvement (already achieved by
Ericsson with simple SA algorithms)
- the same range extension as with HSR
- simulations shows that approximately the
same capacity gain can be achieved with
SFIR and SDMA while SFIR require
considerable less network control upgrade
SFIR concept
SFIR concept
-
7/31/2019 SC03_10r1 Smart Antenna
44/58
- it was found reasonable to combine in
GSM SFIR with random slowfrequency hopping to benefit from
interference and frequency diversity
- reuse factor 1/3 seems reasonable
1/1 possible but too complex since
dynamic RR management based on
CCI measurements is required
- frequency re-planning, but network control (RR) less affected
SFIR concept
SDMA concept
-
7/31/2019 SC03_10r1 Smart Antenna
45/58
SDMA concept
- expected up to 8 times capacity improvement
- power classes concept (can be dynamicor static)
- with ref. signal BF MSs can beseparated even when they have the
same angular position to BS !
- for DoABF MSs angular distributionis important (macrocell)
- network planning (frequency) is simpler,
but larger cell size can require new planning,more smooth migration into existing network
- more network management upgrade required

- dynamic channel allocation (DCA)(localization with different precision... ?? needed)
=> precise localization - centralized DCA or=> no DCA with SFIR and interference averaging approach or=> subdivision on sectors and create list of forbidden sectors
- joint power control , beamforming and BS assignment
- centralized or distributed control (bunch concept) ?
- smoothing of spatial traffic distribution

- More benefits with SA- > more :
Resource management should be aware of:
- > User location (AoA,..)and/or
- > Power (power classes ,...)and/or
- > Channel quality (and spatial properties ?)
Co-ordination between BSs
-> at least loose form of synchronization for time reference BF
(Layer 1)
-> exchange information about user location and /or- > channel quality (and spatial properties ?)
-> exchange information about cells traffic load
Network issues > Standardization
-
7/31/2019 SC03_10r1 Smart Antenna
53/58
Network issues => Standardization- It is need to incorporate more user dedicated information into
channels (user dedicated pilots, color codes, different
synchronization sequences) to separate/identify users(implemented in new air interfaces cdma- 2000,UTRA)
- Channels structure should be more carefully divided betweenbeamformed and omnidierctional.Minimize blanket coverage in terms of frequency/time
- DTX(comfort level?), HO, initial protocol perhaps should beslightly modified,but it can increase signaling overhead=>more interference in CDMA
- combination with link adaptation (since at the beginningchannel history is not available). This combination willincrease soft capacity limit
- some changes can be expected at the MS (receiver, ant., protocols)
