Frequency planning / spectrum usage in cellular networks Past Current Future Heterogeneous networks including uncoordinated femtocell deployment Small macrocells with tight planned reuse (1) Large macrocells with sparse planned reuse
Problem: • Massive number of femtocells planning and optimization is too costly. • High interference possible due to dense deployment and random HeNB and UE locations. • Proposed Solution: Dynamic spectrum sharing using carrier aggregation.
Proposed framework • Low load – First-come, First served • High load – Self-Organizing Coalitions for Conflict Evaluation and Resolution (SOCCER)
SOCCER in a nutshell • Distributed dynamic method for spectrum sharing amongst femtocells no need for planning. Self-optimizing. • Measurements determine incoming and outgoing SINR (BIM) • Evaluation of system capacity for different options (reuse/orthogonal allocation). • Six simple rules for formation of coalitions and redistribution of resources (component carriers) on efficient and fair way. • Enabler: low capacity HeNB to HeNB communication link, as typically assumed for ACCS. • Avoid reconfiguration storms: everything solved locally.

Evaluation of coalitions • Pair wise evaluation, based on sum system capacity SINR Cell A Reuse is better SINR Cell B Orthogonal is better Strong interference bonding condition

CFR CFA Coalition formation rules • A coalition is a bilateral mutual agreement of having an orthogonal allocation. • New coalitions are formed when HeNB needs more spectrum. • Optimized method for maximal cliques up to size 3 only 6 simple formation rules.

Conclusions • Femtocell deployment should rely on self-organizing spectrum allocation • Proposal • At low traffic load simple threshold based selection. • At high traffic load interference management using coalitions (SOCCER). • SOCCER has a lot of potential to become practical • Simple • Very effective method • Based on standardized measurements • Applicable to LTE-Advanced as well as other systems
