Abstract [en]

Rapid mobile data traffic growth is becoming in a reality and several forecasts expect that it will be continued in upcoming years. It is expected that significant indoor investment will be made not only by traditional operators but also by facility owners for their own purposes. A key challenge to such local network providers is provisioning ever-increasing mobile traffic demand at the current level of production cost per bit. A popular deployment strategy so far is deploying WLAN networks. While denser indoor deployment is foreseen, the interference from inside of a network as well as other neighboring operators can be a limiting factor for higher capacity. Tighter interference management will certainly provide higher efficiency in network and spectrum usage. Nevertheless, costs to allow fast information sharing among access points are necessary for advanced interference coordination. Moreover, managing interference across networks owned by different operators raises not only infrastructure cost but also the network interrelatedness which operators are typically reluctant for business independency. When taking into account the cost and barriers for interference coordination, it is still not so obvious that coordination in wireless broadband systems will be advantageous to operators.

In this thesis, we address the operator benefit of downlink interference coordination in two aspects: 1) multi-cell coordination with no interference from neighboring operators, and 2) inter-operator coordination in shared spectrum. In order to deal with interference and cost tradeoff analysis, we explicitly develop a techno-economic analysis framework and reform a traditional cost model. Numerical results indicate that the economic benefit of the multi-cell coordination significantly depends on propagation conditions and average user demand level. A self-deployed WLAN network can be the cheapest deployment option in closed areas up to certain average demand level. Over the demand level or in open areas, advanced joint processing schemes in a cellular domain may be a viable solution. The drawback is that it requires extremely accurate channel state information at transmitters for practical usage. When inter-operator interferences is present, asymmetric cellular networks will be likely to appear due to business independency and selfishly compete to access spectrum with no or little network-level coordination. A network designed for more fairness with higher transmission power will have more benefit against the other counterpart. Although asymmetric competition lets operators unfairly utilize spectrum, sharing spectrum with reasonable geographical separation can outperform over static coordination, i.e., traditional spectrum split. Tight cooperation to maximize a common objective can further offer the performance benefit to both involved partners. However, the cooperation gain quickly diminishes as network separation and size increases because self-interference becomes more dominant.

Abstract [en]

Predictions for wireless and mobile Internet access suggest an exponential traffic increase, particularly in in-building environments. Non-traditional actors such as facility owners have a growing interest in deploying and operating their own indoor networks to fulfill the capacity demand. Such local operators will need spectrum sharing with neighboring networks because they are not likely to have their own dedicated spectrum. Management of internetwork interference then becomes a key issue for high capacity provision. Tight operator-wise cooperation provides superior performance, but at the expense of high infrastructure cost and business-related impairments. Limited coordination, on the other hand, causes harmful interference between operators, which in turn will require even denser networks. In this article, we propose a techno-economic analysis framework for investigating and comparing indoor operator strategies. We refine a traditional network cost model by introducing new inter-operator cost factors. Then we present a numerical example to demonstrate how the proposed framework can help us to compare different operator strategies. Finally, we suggest areas for future research.

Abstract [en]

A self-deployed network is considered to be one of cost-efficient deployment solutions by skipping an expensive network planning process. However, it may result in the serious degradation of capacity or the infeasibility of coverage constraint due to the rise of interference although radio adaptation techniques are employed. Therefore, deployment decision makers, e.g., operators, need to identify when and where the self-deployed network is feasible and economical compared with the planned network. For this, we estimate the average network throughput of the self-deployed network subject to a coverage constraint and compare it with the planned network. Three distinct regions of self-deployment are identified where different deployment strategies are required: infeasible, cost-effective, and uneconomical. We evaluate how the regions alter according to different channel environments and make suggestions for economical deployment.

Abstract [en]

The rapid growth in demand for mobile and nomadic wireless access forces the use of more and more base stations (BSs). In such dense networks, various techniques for multicell interference coordination have been investigated. However, whether or not the interference coordination provides cost benefit compared with a loosely coordinated system is not obvious because the tight coordination at PHY-layer is likely to need an expensive high-speed backbone infrastructure. In this paper, we assess the worthiness of the tight interference coordination, referred to as coordination gain, in various indoor environments. We compare a hypothetical interference-free system as an upper bound with a simple interference-limited system opportunistically avoiding interference. The range of possible coordination gain is examined for various wall losses, path loss exponents, building shapes, and deployment density. Results show that substantial gain can be achieved in dense deployment at open areas with low path loss exponent, e.g., lightly furnished offices partitioned with soft walls. Nevertheless, the coordination gain significantly drops in the presence of marginal wall loss regardless of the other environmental factors.

Abstract [en]

Rapidly increasing traffic demand has forced indoor operators to deploy more and more Wi-Fi access points (APs). As AP density increases, inter-AP interference rises and may limit the capacity. Alternatively, cellular technologies using centralize dinterference coordination can provide the same capacity with the fewer number of APs at the price of more expensive equipment and installation cost. It is still not obvious at what demand level more sophisticated coordination pays off in terms of total system cost. To make this comparison, we assess the required AP density of three candidate systems for a given average demand: a Wi-Fi network, a conventional pico-cellular network with frequency planning, and an advanced system employing multi-cell joint processing. Numerical results show that dense Wi-Fi is the cheapest solution at a relatively low demand level. However, the AP density grows quickly at a critical demand level regardless of propagation conditions. Beyond this “Wi-Fi network limit”, the conventional pico-cellular network works and is cheaper than the joint processing in obstructed environments, e.g., furnished offices with walls. In line of sight condition such as stadiums, the joint processing becomes the most viable solution. The drawback is that extremely accurate channel state information at transmitters is needed.

Abstract [en]

To maintain affordable access for the rapidly increasing mobile traffic, base station deployment has to be tailored to hot-spot areas and primarily indoors where facility owners, e.g., shopping malls or hotels, mostly provide wireless service. Since such local access providers (LAPs) do not have access to exclusive spectrum, one proposed option is sharing spectrum with other nearby LAPs, e.g. unlicensed or secondary spectrum. Due to limited or no coordination between the LAPs, they selfishly access the spectrum, causing harmful interference to the neighboring networks. Especially by increasing transmission power, one operator may attempt to improve its own throughput at the expense of its neighbors. In this paper, we explore the impact of power asymmetry on competition between LAPs. We model the competition between two networks with different maximum power constraints as a network-wide power control game. By analyzing the pure Nash equilibria, we find that a lower power (LP) network becomes more aggressive to overcome the inter-network interference. Due to the aggressive behavior, sharing spectrum can out-perform fixed spectrum split even for the LP network, provided that the power asymmetry is below a certain limit. On the other hand, a higher power (HP) network is mainly affected by its own 'self-interference' so that it has little incentive to employ complicated inter-operator interference management schemes. In addition, we demonstrate that the power asymmetry limit strongly depends on the inter-network propagation conditions, e.g., inter-building distance or building penetration loss.

Abstract [en]

As the regulation in wireless communications is moving toward a more flexible and efficient way of managing radio spectrum, it is envisaged that multiple small-sized cellular networks owned by different operators, e.g., facility owners or local operators, will operate in close vicinity on shared spectrum. In this environment, the networks may compete for their own utilities in a selfish manner with giving harmful internetwork interference to competitors. In practice, it is not so unusual that each operator has different fairness criteria or quality of service (QoS) strategies by employing distinct objective functions from competitors. Particularly, we in this paper study power control competition between two networks with the sum of rates (SR) and the minimum rate (MR) as their objective functions, respectively. By exploring Nash equilibria, we identify that the MR network benefits from the objective asymmetry thanks to the adaptability of its competitor, i.e., no constraint in the SR objective. On the other hand, the SR network takes disadvantage due to the fairness requirement reflected in the MR objective of its competitor. However, such asymmetry effects in competition becomes negligible with marginal network separation, e.g., indoor deployment in adjacent buildings. Additionally, we identify cooperation potential with the proper choice of a common objective function although the asymmetric objectives are difficult to be aligned.

Abstract [en]

As the regulation in wireless communications is moving toward a more flexible and efficient way of managing radio spectrum, it is envisaged that multiple small-sized cellular networks owned by different operators will operate in close vicinity on shared spectrum. This brings a new interference environment where a cell is interfered by not only base stations in own network but also those in other networks. These networks may compete for their own utilities in a selfish manner or cooperate in order to minimize the mutual interference. Since a cooperation between the networks requires a business-wise agreement or extra infrastructure cost, the operators have to identify how much they will benefit from the cooperation. In this paper, we compare the effects of competition and cooperation between the cellular networks. The competition and cooperation are modeled as a transmit power control in downlink. It is observed that the cooperation in an average sense gives better network utility. However, as the network size increases, the cooperation gain diminishes significantly. Furthermore, the marginal separation of network deployments, e.g., indoor deployments in adjacent buildings, can notably shrink the cooperation incentive.
