This paper provides a thorough analysis of the key aspects affecting the capacity of LTE networks. We group the analysis to the three major categories namely technology, spectrum and topology aspects. Through the extensive system-level simulations we investigate which of the specified aspects mostly affect the capacity and spectrum efficiency of 4G LTE networks. In addition, based on the performed...
In wireless network system the resources are limited. Therefore, managing resources is considered as a challenging task. The resource are distributed among attached UEs, so allocating resources needs to be well controlled. Packet scheduler in LTE network is responsible for assigning resources to attached UEs. Also, femtocell network is considered as promising solution for poor channel in indoor environment...
The existing Private/Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) technologies designed specifically for Mission Critical Communication (MCC) systems are narrowband and wideband devices, with limited network data capacity in emergency scenarios. They are majorly used to support MCC voice communications and low data rate applications during mission critical operations. However, the need for broadband systems that...
The LTE system that traditionally uses the licensed band have added the new technology, licensed assisted access (LAA), that enables to use 5 GHz unlicensed band with existing licensed band. Coexistence with Wi-Fi is major part of the LAA technology and regulations relating to coexistence has been revised after LAA technology emerged in Europe. Channel occupancy time (COT) is a critical parameter...
4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile system adopts Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) as a link adaption mechanism that is based on the User Equipment (UE) periodically reporting channel condition summarised through Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) which, in turn, is based on Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) and Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP). Although CQI has a predominant role...
Mobility load balancing (MLB) is a function where cells suffering from overload forward their load to other cells, which perform early handover for load balancing by adjusting handover parameters. The downlink user traffic performance impacts by the proposed MLB operation has been evaluated and compared through computer simulations in the paper. According to the results, we found that the proposed...
Management of Interference Is the solution designing for LTE network to reduce inter symbol interference (ISI) and intercell interference (ICI) using the frequency reuse schemes which has the objective to maximize the coverage area and provide more capacity in cells, especially in cell edge. Based on those propositions, this paper analyzes the process of optimizing subcarrier and power allocation...
Due to the significant change in the use of Internet content actually ongoing, recent regulatory initiatives of the European Commission focused on developing conditions for the introduction of wireless broadband in the 2300 MHz band. In this scenario, the assessment of the coexistence between incumbent radio technologies working in adjacent bands becomes necessary. In response to the invitation of...
The downlink scheduling is always a key problem in the wireless communication. In time of LTE and 5G, the real time multimedia is demanding more resources and flexibility. To meet this ever growing challenge for the QoE of users, a novel layered scheduler is designed in this paper, which treats the constraint of delay and the object for maximal throughput separately. Taking the fluctuations in both...
Nowadays the mobile radio technology is largely used to deliver Internet contents. Many studies to investigate techniques to use more efficiently the already assigned spectrum are currently on going at international level.
In this article the cross-platform software and hardware solution for LTE key performance indicators optimization are developed. There are two important conflicting indicators are explained and optimized — LTE user's throughput and cell throughput versus different power control parameter settings such as nominal power per resource block and alpha for fractional power control. The results graphically...
The core concept of Smart Grid (SG) is to enhance the level of intelligent management for power grid by the application of modern information, communication and other advanced technologies. With wide coverage, high reliability and large capacity, the Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) network is widely used in the SG wireless communication. However, SG is different from traditional cellular networks. Many...
In this paper, we investigate the energy-efficient resource allocation problem in the downlink of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system with multiple users. A iterative algorithm is developed to maximize the overall energy efficiency of the downlink transmission by allocating the resource blocks (RBs) and the transmit power, which is constant for all RBs assigned to a given...
Validated by Mote Carlo simulations, a 2D-Markov chain model is proposed for analyzing the throughput of a simplified LTE system. User scheduling strategy for maximizing the sum throughput in a heterogeneous network consisting of LTE and WiFi systems is obtained using the proposed LTE's 2D-Markov chain model and a previously developed WiFi's 2D-Markov chain model.
Deployment of low power base-stations (referred to as HetNet) within cellular systems can improve system capacity, coverage and enhance users experience. However, the inter-tier and intra-tier interference in such systems can significantly impact overall system performance, which makes interference and spectral resource management more complex. To build, operate HetNet networks, mobile operators have...

Long Term Evolution network or LTE network is a 4G network extension that provides higher data rate by combining multiple technologies and channels through a demand based selection of the appropriate one. This implements an evolved node base station (eNB). The Integrated eNB's in 4G network are responsible for seamless switching between different technologies and channels. Such a switching decision...

Effective interference evaluation methods are crucial when making regulatory decisions about whether new wireless technologies should be allowed to operate. Such decisions are highly relevant for both DSA technologies in licensed bands and for technologies coexisting in unlicensed bands. In this paper we demonstrate the benefit of risk-informed interference assessment as an effective method that aids...
