2. Scope Resolve the harmful interference by coordinated scheduling in a Coexistence Frame (CX-Frame) –FDD / TDD collocated systems Examples: –LTE FDD / 802.16 TDD –802.16 FDD / 802.16 TDD –TDD / TDD systems using different frame durations Examples: –LTE –802.16 / 802.11 in adjacent frequency bands

3. Interference scenarios SS to SS –Most problematic case: Small separation distance between SSs, because the RF filters may be inefficient or inexistent for SSs operating in adjacent frequency channels or frequency bands. SS to BS/Relay –Most problematic case: Small cell deployments, where the distance between a foreign SS and a BS might be small. BS/Relay to BS/Relay –Most problematic case: Co-located TDD-FDD wireless networks (WCDMA and 802.16m or LTE and 802.16) or un-sync TDD (LTE and 802.16m). BS/Relay to SS –Most problematic case: in small cell deployments, where the distance between a foreign SS and a BS might be small.

4. Basic principles Time separation of the interfering radios –One works, the other is silent Protected allocation –Implies Frame synchronization Not everything interference with everything –Licensed bands –Large cell sizes Statistical probability of harmful interference is reduced –Un-protected allocations Used in common

11. Cognitive information related to CCXF CCXF has elements of cognitive information –periodicity of the CCXF: 20ms –duration and position of the intervals allocated for the TDD protected operation (relative to CCXF start) –DL/UL split (if it is permanent, can be known). An un-synchronized system can use the cognitive information related to the CCXF structure at its location for achieving synchronization TDD systems are the best positioned to use the cognitive properties of the CXCF, due to the reciprocity the medium: for example, if and SS creates interference to another SS, it will also be an interference victim FDD SS will suffer from receiver blocking in a large part of the band –The RF filters are not sharp enough
