This paper presents the effect of spectrum sharing/overlapping in a heterogeneous OFDM system with nonlinear High Power Amplifier (HPA). According to the spectrum sharing strategies, the achievable rate performances are analyzed. In the non-orthogonal spectrum sharing, we address how the portion of the overlapped or overlaid spectrum band and the nonlinear properties of HPA affect the system performance and accordingly, propose the optimized spectrum sharing strategies.

In this paper, we consider a channel selection method for the coexistence of heterogeneous systems in the TV white space (TVWS). First, we define the target heterogeneous system structure. Then, under the defined system structure, we discuss how the heterogeneous systems share the TVWS channels. Specifically, the heterogeneous systems having different bandwidths cannot use the TVWS channels due to the lack of wideband channels when only narrowband channels are remained. Hence, in order to minimize the blocking from the different bandwidth problem, we propose a channel selection method for the narrowband systems to firstly occupy the narrowband channels rather than the wideband channels. The proposed narrowband-first channel selection is shown to enhance the spectral efficiency of the TVWS, especially in the IEEE 802.19.1 wireless coexistence system.

Various wireless communication devices or network such as WRAN and WLAN will coexist in the TVWS(TV White Space). Because of this coexistence, the wireless devices which use the TVWS have to avoid interfering to not only licensed TV receiver and wireless microphone but also homogeneous or heterogeneous TVBD(TV Band Device)s. In this paper, we propose two frequency sharing methods for the coexistence of WLAN and WRAN in terms of interference reduction and throughput enhancement in both homogeneous and heterogeneous networks. One is the WRAN spectrum etiquette to provide more wide bandwidth for WLAN users and the other is the WLAN frequency selection methods to improve the throughput performance. The simulation results have confirmed the throughput improvement of the proposed methods. Moreover, the proposed methods is also applicable to improve the throughput performance and reduce interference of similar systems working in a cognitive manner.

LTE Licensed-Assisted Access(LAA)는 3GPP에서 진행되고 있는 비면허대역을 활용하여 LTE 시스템을 동작시키는 표준기술이다. LTE-LAA의 필요성과 표준의 진화 과정을 알아보고, Listen-Before-Talk(LBT) 등 핵심 표준기술들을 소개하였고, 특히, WiFi 등 기존의 비면허대역에서 동작하는 시스템과의 공정한 공존(fair coexistence)를 위해 어떠한 노력이 이루어졌는지를 중점적으로 살펴보았다. 마지막으로, 현재 3GPP 표준에서 논의되는 enhanced LAA를 통해 비면허대역을 활용하는 LTE 시스템 기술의 진화를 전망해 보았다.

In this paper, we propose the interference probability according to distance between mobile stations and the maximal power of interfering transmitter as parameters which are used for analysis to co-exist in co-channel of different systems. In order to analyze interfering between each systems, we consider two cases. First, WiBro is an interfering transmitter and WLAN is a victim receiver. Second, WLAN is an interfering transmitter and WiBro is a victim receiver. When the interfering transmitter is WiBro or WLAN, interference probability according to distance between systems is analyzed by setting transmit power of 25 and 23 dBm, respectively. Analyzed coexistence results under various co-use scenarios may be widely applied into the technique developed to get the coexisting condition for wireless devices using many communication protocols in same frequency.

5G 무선통신시스템은 동일한 영역에서 스펙트럼 사용 효율성을 개선하기 위해 매크로셀과 소형셀이 공존하는 이종 네트워크(HetNet: Heterogeneous Network) 형태로 진화하고 있으며, 급증하는 모바일 트래픽을 효율적으로 처리하기 위해 소형셀들을 고밀도 네트워크(High dense network)로 구축하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 매크로셀과 고밀도 소형셀들이 중첩되어 구축되는 HetNet 기반 셀룰러 네트워크에서 소형셀 시스템의 구성과 파라미터 최적화를 통한 성능 유지를 운영자가 수동으로 조정하는 것은 한계가 있으므로 네트워크 환경변화에 따라 시스템에서 자율적으로 파라미터를 조정하여 시스템 성능을 유지하는 기술이 요구되고 있다. 본고에서는 시스템 운용 중 자율적인 최적화를 통해 시스템 성능을 최적으로 유지하고 유지비용을 최소화하는 3GPP 자율적 네트워크 최적화 기술을 소개한다.

Analysis on co-use parameters in TV frequency channels is essential to utilize a TV White Space(TVWS) efficiently. A transmission probability of interfering transmitter can be used as some criteria for performance evaluation of the systems that co-use the cochannels. We considered a duty cycle as a parameter for getting the method how heterogeneous systems can use simultaneously a co-channel in TVWS. We analyze the transmission probability of interfering transmitter with an assumption that the probability is the same as the duty cycle, a time that it spends in an active state as a fraction of the total under consideration. In order to make an analysis of relationship between duty cycle and performances of two systems. We take into consideration on the case that WLAN is an victim receiver and WiBro is a interfering transmitter. Analyzed coexistence results may be widely applied into the technique developed to get the coexisting condition for wireless devices using many communication protocols in same frequency.

In cognitive radio technology, the overall capacity of communications systems can be improved without allocating additional bands by allowing secondary system to utilize the band when a primary system who has right to use the band does not utilize it. Therefore, spectrum sensing to determine the existence of primary system is utmost important in the cognitive radio technology. In this work, we consider a novel cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive cellular systems. Especially, we consider the case in which heterogeneous primary systems coexist, i.e., heterogenous transmission power and sensing requirement of primary system, such that only portion of users in cognitive cellular systems are able to detect the primary system. In this case, we propose new cooperative spectrum sensing with multiple sensing stages to properly detect the existence of primary systems in this kind of situations. Moreover, we analyze the performance of conventional cooperative spectrum sensing schemes such as OR-rule, AND-rule and MAJORITY-rule under the existence of heterogeneous primary systems. Finally, we investigate the performance of the proposed scheme through computer based simulations and show that the existence of primary systems can be determined accurately by using our proposed scheme.

Theoretical modelling and computational results for frequency coordination are presented based upon minimum coupling loss regarding the same or different wireless systems. Essential parameters involved in frequency coordination are discussed in view of system characteristics, propagation model, availability and protection ratio, frequency dependent rejection or adjacent channel interference ratio, discrimination angle, and its computational results are also evaluated. To illustrate frequency coordination procedure, received interference power between fixed wireless system of victim and mobile base station of interferer are analyzed in urban or sub-urban area and also compared with maximum allowable interference power as functions of discrimination angle and distance for assumed system parameters. The proposed method will play a practical role in technical analysis on co-existence or interoperability for the various wireless systems needed for frequency coordination.
