Hitachi Ltd Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] IS-95 CDMA 1x GSM AMPS Background To achieve higher data rate, high spectral efficiency (~4bit/s/Hz) is required[1]. Trend line shows higher efficiency and lower Eb/No are required at future air interface evolution system. FL receiver performance requirements (fading ch.) [3] Based on voice user capacity reported at CDG website[2] EVDO Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz]

Hitachi Ltd. 4 Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] IS-95 GSM AMPS Background Due to Shannon limit, evolution system cannot follow that trend line. With EVDO, the trend line turns to higher efficiency with higher Eb/No. FL receiver performance requirements (fading ch.) [3] FL receiver performance requirements (AWGN) [3] Based on voice user capacity reported at CDG website[2] CDMA 1x EVDO Shannon limit EVDO (~Peak rate)

Hitachi Ltd. 5 Shannon limit Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] IS-95 GSM AMPS Background In cellular systems, inter-cell interference causes another limitation (Interference bound). Due to the interference bound, not all user can achieve high efficiency. FL receiver performance requirements (fading ch.) [3] FL receiver performance requirements (AWGN) [3] Based on voice user capacity reported at CDG website[2] CDMA 1x EVDO EVDO (~Peak rate) Interference bound (Freq. reuse = 1)

Hitachi Ltd. 6 Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] IS-95 GSM AMPS CDMA 1x EVDO EVDO (~Peak rate) Two types of air interface evolutions are needed. To achieve requirement 2: Interference Reduction 1: Spatial Multiplexing Target

Hitachi Ltd Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] 20dB Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Multiplexing vs. Interference Reduction To achieve requirement, there are some options to combine spatial multiplexing and interference reduction. case 1: without spatial multiplexing 20dB Interference Reduction

Hitachi Ltd Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] 10dB Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Multiplexing vs. Interference Reduction To achieve requirement, there are some options to combine spatial multiplexing and interference reduction. case 2: x3 spatial multiplexing 10dB Interference Reduction x3 Spatial Multiplexing

Hitachi Ltd. 9 x12 x6 x3 x2 x Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] 3dB 6dB 10dB 14dB 20dB Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Multiplexing vs. Interference Reduction To achieve requirement, there are some options to combine spatial multiplexing and interference reduction. Summary

Hitachi Ltd. 10 Multiplexing vs. Interference Reduction note (*1) : In case of full interference reduction can be applied. note (*2) : Total number of MS antennas (product of number of MSs by number of antennas per MS). Need to select combination of spatial multiplexing and interference reduction. Spatial multiplexing around 6 seems to be good dB 14dB 10dB 6dB 3dB BS (*1) MS (*2) Interference Reduction Spatial Multiplexing Antennas (ideal case) 1MS with 2antennas (MIMO case) 2MSs with 1antenna (SDMA case)

Hitachi Ltd. 11 Spatial Multiplexing SDMA MS Spatially Separated Channel BS Increase capacity per cell (spectral efficiency only) MIMO BS MS Rich Scattering Channel Multiple Antennas required (Separated ~ /2) Increase capacity per user (efficiency & peak rate impact) Good for Indoor Environment Good for Cellular Environment not many can be equipped on handsets.

Hitachi Ltd. 12 Directional Gain [dB] Angle [degree] #a #b#c#d#e#f #g #h#i#j#k#l Beam IDs SDMA with fixed beams Low complexity (beam-pattern selection only). Max. 6 spatial multiplexing using overlapped 12beams (12 antennas). SDMA with fixed beam approach

Hitachi Ltd. 13 Omni BS # of activated beams simultaneously Spectral Efficiency with SDMA Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Simulation Results : Effect of SDMA CDF of Ec/Io -5 Ec/Io [dB] Omni BS with SDMA 6 Spectral Efficiency increases but saturated. ~1.9 [bit/s/Hz]

Hitachi Ltd. 14 x12 x6 x3 x2 x Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] 3dB 6dB 10dB 14dB 20dB Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Effect of SDMA ~ 6dB interference reduction and x3 multiplexing. Achieve ~1.9[bit/s/Hz]. ~10dB interference reduction and x2 multiplexing. Some additional improvements are needed: Effect of SDMA ~ 1dB interference reduction and x6 multiplexing.

Hitachi Ltd. 15 BS cooperation CDF of Ec/Io shows increasing interference due to beam collision and therefore effects of spatial multiplexing are saturated. BS cooperation approach can reduce probability of beam collision and reduce inter-cell interference[4]. BS1 BS2 Receive data from BS2-beam3 without interference Receive data from BS1-beam4 without interference Interference due to beam collision Exchange beam schedule MS1 MS2 MS3 Each MS measures and reports which beam cause inter-cell interference. BSs make schedules in cooperation to avoid beam collision.

Hitachi Ltd. 16 Omni BS # of activated beams simultaneously Spectral Efficiency CDF of Ec/Io without BS cooperation with BS cooperation Simulation Results : Effect of BS cooperation Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Achieve efficiency nearly direct proportion to number of beams. Avoid collisions and reduced probability of lower Ec/Io cases. -5 Ec/Io [dB] Omni BS without BS cooperation with BS cooperation ~3.6 [bit/s/Hz] ~1.9 [bit/s/Hz]

Hitachi Ltd. 17 x12 x6 x3 x2 x Spectral Efficiency [bit/s/Hz] Eb/No [dB] 3dB 6dB 10dB 14dB 20dB Requirement : 4 [bit/s/Hz] Effect of SDMA with BS cooperation Very close to requirement (~3.6[bit/s/Hz]) Can achieve requirement with additional 2x2 MIMO. Effect of SDMA with BS cooperation Additional 2x2 MIMO

Hitachi Ltd. 18 Conclusion From the viewpoint of spectral efficiency, spatial multiplexing and interference reduction are key features of future air interface evolution systems. To achieve requirement(4bit/s/Hz), BS cooperation SDMA with additional 2x2 MIMO is good selection. So, signals for SDMA, MIMO, and BS cooperation are needed for future air interface evolution systems.
