14. Annex – proposed next generation technologies

15. 15 Network MIMO  Network MIMO concept: Cochannel interference mitigation through coordinated Tx/Rx at several base stations. Beamforming across base stations helps suppress interference (can combine with DPC/SIC).  In theory, 2-4x gain in spectral efficiency appears possible. Depending on SNR, extent of coordination, ratio of users to base station antennas, etc.  Many practical issues to be dealt with before promised gains can be realized. UplinkDownlink

16. 16 Collision Avoidance Beamforming (CA-BF)  Collision Avoidance Beamforming (CA-BF) beams of neighboring cells are carefully scheduled in coordination to minimize beam collision decreasing intercell interference Precoders for beamforming are selected based on the AT’s feedback that counts the links to neighboring cells as well as the link to serving cells  Over 20% forward link system throughput enhancement with the cost of a few more bits of reverse link feedback overheads  CA-BF effectively increases cell edge user throughput without costing system throughput unlike FFR

17. 17 Opportunistic Spatial Time Multiple Access  OSTMA is a flexible and efficient space-time division multiple access scheme Improved user performance by the flexible beam scheduling and power management A self-contained backhaul network is enabled via the additional antenna panel  Comparing to the current beamforming systems Unlike adaptive beamforming, OSTMA requires no mobility tracking Unlike fixed beamforming, OSTMA improves the system performance via the advanced radio resource management

18. 18 Adaptive Antenna Selection (AAS) for ZF-BF MU-MIMO  Under the limited feedback for ZF-BF MU- MIMO system, the user sum-rate performance becomes saturated even as SINR increases. A TX antenna selection scheme was proposed to cure this problem.  The AAS scheme can also be applied for users with multiple receivers. In this case, a receiver combining scheme is required.

19. 19 ZF-BF MU-MIMO with user cooperation  ZF-BF performs optimally with perfect CSI feedback. An user cooperation scheme in conjunction with ZF-BF could provide better performance under the limited feedback situation.  Detail cooperation procedures including user- clustering algorithm were also described in several NTAH contributions. As we see from the figure beside, since the user selection operation is being done under the user cooperation, the size of CQI feedback can be reduced.

20. 20 Cooperative Communications Through Relays  Cooperative diversity transmission can increase the reliability of the reception  Link throughput can be increased through cooperative spatial multiplexing  Cooperative diversity transmission can be combined with cooperative spatial multiplexing in unified manner Trade-off gains: diversity vs. spatial multiplexing E.g. More diversity gain in the morning and more spatial multiplexing in the evening  Cooperative transmission between relay and mobile station can further increase the spectral efficiency

21. 21 Peak to Average Power Ration Reduction  Peak transmit power is limited by Regulations Interference. both in-band and out-of-band interference are concerned. Hardware Limitations, especially when the bill of materials and power consumption are among the major concerns.  PAPR reduction in research and standards. Known techniques: clipping, coding, PTS, SLM, dynamic PA backoff, single-carrier modulation, etc. Relevant standards: GSM, WCDMA, UMB, LTE, etc.  Two PAPR reduction techniques are investigated for regular OFDM. 1)PAPR reduction with group-based cyclic delays 2)PAPR reduction with subcarrier remapping  Three PAPR reduction schemes are investigated for layer-modulated OFDM 1)Rotated Layer Modulation 2)PAPR Reduction with Layer-Based Cyclic Delay 3)PAPR Reduction with Group-Based Cyclic Delay

22. 22 Precoded OFDM for BCMCS  Enhancements on existing BCMCS are proposed: Strictly Backward Compatible (SBC) Mode OFDM overlayed by Precoded OFDM (P-OFDM) Base layer is OFDM-modulated as in existing BCMCS Enhancement layer is P-OFDM-modulated, where the symbols are precoded with a spreading matrix, such as Walsh-Hadamard matrix, before OFDM Loosely Backward Compatible (LBC) Mode Layered modulation + P-OFDM Loosely Backward Compatible (LBC) Mode (Cont’d) Quasi-Orthogonal OFDM
