Wireless Channel : Property

Broadcast interface

• Everyone can listen to the medium

• One emitting source for a region

Shared resource

• All share the resources

• Need resource management to optimize the best utilization

Dynamic properties compared to wired

medium

• Adapt to the nature of the channel

• Need feedback of the user link quality

3Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras

Wireless Channel - Terrain

4Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras

Large Scale : Path Loss, Shadowing Small Scale : Stationary and Mobile objects

Wireless Channel - Impairments

Time Selective

• Relative speed of the transmitter and receiver

• Measured in terms Doppler frequency

Frequency Selective

• Multipath channel

• Measured in terms of the delay spread of the channel

MULTIUSER COMMUNICATION

• Multiplexing multiple users’ data

• Basis of smart “picking” of users

14Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras

Characteristics of Multiple access

• Static or Dynamic, equal/unequal sharing of the resource (BW x Duration)

• Orthogonality within intra-cell downlink

• Control overhead with increasing number of users

15Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras

Scheduler – “Key Ingredient”

• Single User

– Adapt Rate based on Channel

• Multiple Users

– Adapt Rate also select which user(s) in a TTI

• Multi-cell

– Co-operation with adjacent cells for Interference Management

– Resource partition with small cells

Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras 16

Scheduler : Other metrics

• Diversity in the users’ channel

• Queue Size of data for the user

• Quality of service

– Mean delay at upper layers

– Reliability of the data

• Maintain the system capacity by efficiently sharing resources

Sendil Kumar, TCOE-IIT Madras 40

E.g. CASES – When & What is used

Wideband CQI

• Maps to the best MCS supported for distributed mapping

• Kind of fall-back metric if eNodeB cant grant the best to the UE

Best Band CQI

• Group RBs, report CQI for each/best Group

• Frequency selective channels

eNodeB triggered bands only

• e.g restricted bands available

• FFR zones

tolerate/cancel interference on the same Resource
