The cardinal concept of TCP development was to carry datxa within the network where network congestion plays a vital role to cause packet loss. On the other hand, there are several other reasons to lose packets in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks due to fading, interfaces, multi-path routing, malicious node and black hole. Along with throughput, fairness of TCP protocols is important to establish a good communication...
The objective of this paper is to combine the antenna downtilt selection with the cell size selection in order to reduce the overall radio frequency (RF) transmission power in the homogeneous High-Speed Packet Downlink (HSDPA) cellular radio access network (RAN). The analysis is based on the concept of small cells deployment. The energy consumption ratio (ECR) and the energy reduction gain (ERG) of...
The 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) LTE (Long Term Evolution) activity towards the evolved UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) Terrestrial Radio Access, which is known as E-UTRA, was started in November 2004 and recently culminated in the Release 8 of the 3GPP technical specifications, cf. e.g. the technical specifications 3GPP TS 36.101 and 3GPP TS 36.201. In the case of...
In this paper, we report on a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM), which was carried out in a suburban area of Sendai city. This paper focuses on coverage and downlink throughput performance, which are the most important criteria for assessing broadband wireless data communication...
This paper addresses broadband radio access techniques for the long-term evolution (LTE) specified as the Release 8 specifications (Rel. 8 LTE) and LTE-Advanced in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). We first briefly describe the system requirements for the Rel. 8 LTE and LTE-Advanced. Then, we describe wider transmission bandwidths around 100 MHz to satisfy the peak data rate of 1 Gbps...
With the emergence of new technologies and services, it is very important to accurately identify the factors that affect the design of the wireless access network and define how to take them into account to achieve optimally performing and cost-efficient networks. Till now, most existing efforts have been focused the basic access capability. This article describes a way to deal with the trade-offs...
We present field experiment results on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoding using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) in the E-UTRA downlink. We measured the throughput performance of 4??4 MIMO precoding with 1- to 4-stream transmission. Time variation characteristics of throughput, SINR, and antenna correlations are compared to evaluate the selection criteria for the...
In this paper, we report on a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM), which was carried out at Sendai city in Japan. This paper discusses the feasibility of downlink transmission with the maximum modulation level of 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), using the received...
This paper investigates the effect of the antenna (polarization diversity (PD) or space diversity (SD)) configuration at evolved Node B and antenna angle of user equipment (UE) on the throughput performance of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) field experimental system. The results show that the throughput performance as a function of the measured...
Standardization work is nearly complete on long term evolution (LTE) of the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access and Radio Access Network which is aimed for commercial deployment in 2010. Goals for the evolved system include support for improved system capacity and coverage, high peak data rates, low latency, reduced operating costs, multi-antenna support, flexible bandwidth operations and seamless integration...
In this paper we present the results on performance evaluation of 6-sector-site deployment and compare against 3-sector-site deployment in the downlink UTRAN LTE systems. To facilitate the performance evaluation a quasi-dynamic multicell system level simulator that follows the 3GPP UTRAN LTE specifications has been used. A significant gain in the order of 88% in site capacity is achieved by changing...
