Spectral/Energy Efficiency Tradeoff of Cellular Systems With Mobile Femtocell Deployment

Abstract

Mobile femtocell (MFemtocell) is a new concept that has been proposed recently to be a potential wireless communication technology for the next generation cellular systems. The essence of MFemtocell lies in adopting the femtocell technology inside vehicles such as trains, buses, or private cars, to provide better coverage and good Internet experience whilst on the move. In this paper, we investigate the spectral and energy efficiency for the MFemtocell-assisted network with different resource partitioning schemes. Closed-form expressions for the relationships between the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency are derived for a link-level MFemtocell network. We also investigate the spectral efficiency for multi-user system-level MFemtocells with opportunistic scheduling schemes. Our analysis shows that MFemtocells can provide better spectral and energy efficiency compared to direct transmission scheme.

Performance Investigation of Spatial Modulation Systems Under Non-Stationary Wideband High-Speed Train Channel Models

“…Also, as cabins of HSTs are usually built with metal like aluminum, there will be huge penetration losses when signals get into carriages [5]. In order to solve these problems, many new cellular architectures such as the distributed antenna system (DAS) [6]- [8] and the mobile relay station (MRS) [9], [10] (or mobile Femtocell [4], [11]) have been investigated. In this paper, the MRS solution with multiple antenna elements are considered as it has been adopted by some widely used standardized wireless channel models such as the WINNER II [12] model and the International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT-A) model [13] for high mobility scenarios.…”

Energy efficient resource allocation in two-tier OFDMA networks with QoS guarantees

“…In [22], based on the Lagrangian dual decomposition method, the authors derived a suboptimal resource allocation policy for femtocells in uplink direction. The authors in [23] derived a closed-form relationship between two conflicting parameters, spectral efficiency and energy efficiency.…”

Transmission of wireless backhaul signal in a cellular system with small moving cells

“…The deployment of SMCs can enhance the system capacity by sharing transmission resource with macro cells [3][4][5][6][7]. It can increase the throughput of users near the cell edge [3].…”
