5GNOW: Robustness Framework

Introduction MAC Concepts
5GNOW develops a robustness framework on MAC level with MAC Framework Hierarchical approach
respect to trinity of key reference scenarios Robustness

Multi-Cell MAC scheduler

MAC level asynchronism for CoMP and ICIC
CoMP/
Channel State Information (CSI) aging MTC

Single-Cell MAC for
Limited feedback service type rule setting
Approach: Fragmented Internal MAC schedulers
Spectrum
Non-coherent transmission (e.g. less timing for each service type
sensitivity) characteristics (e.g. MTC
Incorporate structure of waveforms into the design of control channels service; service)
Goal:
System Level Simulator for MAC Evaluation
100% throughput gain with same signalling overhead RRM modules
(scheduling, link
adaptation / power control)
Case Study: Limited Feedback multi-user scenario
user mobility
5GNOW claim: limited feedback in multiuser multicell networks is Interference / propagation
not properly addressed so far! models
Erroneous information from terminals can lead to wrong decisions: Initial Simulation Concepts
scheduler runs into wrong direction
Ideal link adaptation is assumed
Literature: often Degrees of Freedom (DoF) analysis:

For a multicell CoMP system with basestations, each

equipped with transmit antennas, the capacity scales for
SNR as

if and only if the number of bits per feedback message scales evaluated over real LTE models new CoMP solutions

Theorem follows from: Rate difference between perfect and

It can be shown that:

Applicable to all multicell schemes: MU-MIMO, CoMP, Interference

Alignment
E.g. iterative interference alignment (IIA)
LTE Release 8:
Using Alternating Optimization the - Codebook index 0,1,2,3
interference signals end up in the - 2 users pairing
same subspace at the receiver: - Receivers: ZF, MMSE, IA receiver
All interferers are seen
together as a single interferer.
