    "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

    .....higher transmission quality with ST coded

    - 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

    - 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

    Layer 1. Power control. Quality

    monitoring. Tracking.- power control at up and down links is beneficial

    (60% more capacity ) (Downlink in SDMA can be problematicdue to furthest mobile)

    - dynamic behavior of tracking & power control ?

    - user identification problem to support SDMAindividual color codes needed to support each SDMAtraffic channel channel, also for admission control ..

    - for rescue purposes omni directional channel for call recovery

    is proposed

    Layer 2. Initial access. Handover.- location aware HO or throughomni-directional channel ?

    - initial access with omni directionalchannel=> narrow beam ortransition wide beam =>narrow beam

    - to setup beamformer just beforeuser dedicated channel is allocated

    (access procedure modification orincreased access time )

    - delayed handover while new BS has not been localized

    - how to make down-link BF when channel info. at the up-link is notavailable yet (temporal omnidirectional downlink or longer access)?

    - to allow different synchronization sequences

    Layer 3. Resource management.

    - new functions: physical channel allocation based on angularinformation and or link quality monitoring

    - 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 benefit we expect to get (capacity,flexibility)- more RRmanagement should be aware of spatial characteristics

    Network issues. Summary

    - 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)
