HetNet: Interference Management


Network Densification • Homogeneous network • Heterogeneous network


HetNet

– problems in non-homogeneous deployment

• Consist of deployments where low power nodes are placed throughout a macro-cell layout

• The interference characteristics in a heterogeneous deployment can be significantly different than in a homogeneous deployment

• Mainly, two different heterogeneous scenarios are under consideration – Macro-Femto (CSG: Closed Subscriber Group) case – Macro-Pico case


Motivation for new ICIC techniques • The frequency domain ICIC is not sufficient. – Because DL control channels (PCFICH/PHICH/PDCCH) are spread over the entire system bandwidth.

– With a cell-specific interleaving structure

• ICIC in another resource domain becomes necessary TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 14 © Nokia Siemens Networks

Range Extension (of picocell) • The current “cell selection” algorithm is DL oriented • So, it may not be the optimum for UL perspective. • Further more, too high DL power of macro cell is too costly in cellular network  Range extension of picocell  but, this can lead to significant interference issue in extended range


Why “ALMOST” blank subframe? • Because some channels/signals should be transmitted for the legacy UE operation. – CRS (If ABS coincides with MBSFN subframe not carrying any signal in data region, CRS is not present in data region )

– PSS, SSS, and PBCH – PRS and CSI-RS – SIB1/Paging with associated PDCCH

• No other signal is transmitted • Some interference still exists. – To be studied in the next release.


Coordination between two cell layers


TDM eICIC Principle

- combined macro+pico+HeNB case Pico-nodes can schedule UEs with larger RE, if not interfered from nonallowed CSG HeNB(s)

Almost blank, or MBSFN sub-frame Sub-frame with normal transmission

Macro-layer Pico-UEs with larger RE, close to CSG HeNB(s) are schedulable

Pico-layer

HeNB-layer


Macro-eNBs and Pico-eNBs can schedule also users that are close to non-allowed CSG HeNB(s), but not pico-UEs with larger RE.

Baseline Assumptions for Network Configuration of Muting Patterns • Macro + HeNB scenario:

Centralized concept

– Muting patterns are assumed to be statically configured from OAM – Both macro and HeNB needs to know the muting pattern:  HeNB will apply the muting pattern (i.e. will mute some of its subframes)  Macro-eNB needs to know so it only schedule its users close to non-allowed CSG HeNBs during muted subframes + can configured Rel-10 UEs with appropriate measurement restrictions.

• Macro + pico scenario:

Distributed concept

– Muting patterns are assumed to be dynamically configured, assisted by new X2 signalling introduced in Rel-10.

– Both macro and pico needs to know the muting pattern:  Macro-eNB will apply the muting pattern (i.e. will mute some of its subframes)  Pico-eNB needs to know so it only schedule its users with large range extension

during muted subframes + can configured Rel-10 UE measurement restrictions for those UEs.

Semantics description

– – BIT STRING (SIZ E(40))

– – Each position in the bitmap represents a DL su bframe, for which value "1" indicates ‘ABS’ and value "0" indicates ’non ABS’. The first position of the ABS pattern correspon ds to subframe 0 in a radio frame where SFN = 0. The ABS pattern is continuously repeated in all radio frames. The maximum number of subframes is 40. P (number of antenna ports for cell-specific ref erence signals) defined in TS 36.211 [10] Indicates a subset of the ABS Pattern Info abo ve, and is used to configure specific measurem ents towards the UE.

ENUMERATED ( 1, 2, 4, …) BIT STRING (SIZ E(40))

New X2 eICIC Related Signalling • ABS information in IE

eNB

eNB

– This IE provides information about which sub

frames the sending eNB is configuring as almost blank subframes and which subset of almost blank subframes are recommended for configuring measurements towards the UE.

X2-AP: LOAD INFORMATION

– Macro can signal ABS muting pattern to the pico nodes in ABS information IE. – A neighbouring macro-cell receiving this information may aim at using similar muting pattern (but it is optional if macro-eNB follows such recommendation).

• Invoke information IE – This IE provides an indication that the sending eNB would like to receive ABS information.

– Can be used by pico nodes to suggest macro-eNB to start scheduling ABS, i.e. that the pico serves UEs suffering high interference.

• Both the ABS information IE and/or Invoke IE is part of the LOAD

INFORMATION message. Therefore, both of them can be exchanged between any two eNBs connected with X2, also between macros.


New X2 eICIC Related Signalling (cont’) • Macro-eNB can send a resource request to the pico-eNB.

• Pico-eNB response with ”ABS status”

eNB1

eNB2 RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST

RESOURCE STATUS RESPONSE

9.2.58 ABS Status The ABS Status IE is used to aid the eNB designating ABS to evaluate the need for modification of the ABS pattern. DL ABS status

>> Usable ABS Pattern Info

M

INTEGER (0..100)

Percentage of resource blocks of ABS allocated for UEs protected by ABS from inter-cell interference. This includes resource blocks of ABS unusable due to other reasons. The denominator of the percentage calculation is indicated in the Usable ABS Information.

M

BIT STRING (SIZE(40))

Each position in the bitmap represents a subframe, for which value "1" indicates ‘ABS that has been designated as protected from inter-cell interference’ and value "0" indicates ‘ABS that is not usable as protected ABS from inter-cell interference’. The pattern represented by the bitmap is a subset of, or the same as, the corresponding ABS Pattern Info IE conveyed in the LOAD INDICATION message.

• The ”ABS status” is basically a load measure of how much the pico-eNB uses the subframes where the macro-eNB is muted.

• It is intended that only ABS allocated to UEs that would not cope otherwise are reported • This information can be used by the macro-eNB to get an idea of the consequences of

increasing/decreasing the number of muted subframes. It can be combined with information about overall load in the pico.


CSI Measurement for eICIC • Clearly, the interference experienced by pico-cell terminals may vary significantly between protected and non-protected subframes.

• CSI measurements carried out jointly on both the protected and non-protected subframes will thus not accurately reflect the interference of either type of subframes.

• Thus, as part of the enhanced support for heterogeneous network deployments, it is possible to configure a terminal with different CSI-measurement subsets , confining the terminal CSI measurements to subsets of the full set of subframes with terminals reporting CSI for each subset separately.

• The corresponding CSI reports should then preferably reflect the interference level in protected and nonprotected subframes respectively.


UE Operation for eICIC: Example


FeICIC in Rel-11 • eICIC is introduced in LTE Rel-10 and further enhanced in Rel-11 – eICIC = enhanced Inter Cell Interference Coordination – FeICIC = Further enhanced Inter Cell Interference Coordination

• eICIC consists of three design principles – Time domain interference management (Rel-10)  Severe interference limits the association of terminals to low power cells

– Cell range expansion (Rel-10/11)  Time domain resource partitioning enables load balancing between high and low power cells  Resource partitioning needs to adapt to traffic load

– Interference cancellation receiver in the terminal (Rel-11/12)  Ensures that weak cells can be detected Inter cell interference cancellation for control signals (pilots, synchronization signals)

 Ensures that remaining interference is removed Inter cell interference cancellation for control and data channels (PDCCH/PDSCH

Spatial Diversity • Benefits of Spatial Diversity – – – –

Array gain Diversity gain and decreased error rate Increased data rate Increased coverage or reduced transmit power

• Receive Diversity – Selection combining, Equal gain combining, and Maximal radio combining (MRC)

• Transmit Diversity – Open-loop transmit diversity: e.g., Alamouti coding – Closed-loop transmit diversity: e.g., Linear precoding y = G(HFx + n) where x is the transmited symbol vector, y is the received symbol vector with M x 1, G is the post-coder matrix with M x Nr, H is the channel matrix with Nr x Nt, F is the precoder matrix with Nt x M For the diversity precoding, M = 1, and the SNR maximizing precoder F and postcoder G are the right- and left- singular vectors of H corresponding to its singular value, max.

Beamforming • DOA (Direction-Of-Arrival)-based Beamforming – Physically directed – Incoming signals to a receiver may consist of desired energy and interference energy. – From the acquired DOAs, a beamformer extracts a weighting vector for the antenna elements and uses it to transmit or receive the desired signal of a specific user while suppressing the undesired interference signals. – Often called null-steering beamformer – Viable only in LOS environments or in environments with limited local scattering around the transmitter

• Eigen Beamforming – Mathematically directed – Eigen beamforming exploits CSI of each antenna element to find array weights that satisfy a desired criterion, such as SNR maximization or MSE minimization. – Eigen beamforming is conceptually nearly identical to the linear diversity precoding,

the only difference being that the eigen beamforming takes interfering signals into account. – More viable in realistic wireless broadband environments, which are expected to have significant local scattering TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 39 © Nokia Siemens Networks

Multi-Antenna Technology Summary • Diversity – Same data on all the pipes  Increased coverage and link quality – But, the all pipes can be combined to make a kind-of beamforming

• MIMO – Different data streams on different pipes (mode 4)  Increased spectral efficiency (increased overall throughput)  Power is split among the data streams

• Beamforming – Data stream on only the strongest pipe (mode 7)  Use all the power on the strongest pipe (i.e., the most efficient pipe)  Increased coverage and signal SNR – Not any more focusing on the strongest pipe in transmission mode 8 in R9 – Further enhanced in transmission mode 9 in R10

DL MIMO Trend


New RS Types in Downlink for LTE-A


RS configuration in LTE-A network • Support of Rel-8 Common RS – LTE-A eNB should always support LTE UE as well – Rel-8 CRS is also used for LTE-A UEs to detect PCFICH, PHICH, PDCCH, PBCH and PDSCH (TxD only)

• DM-RS + CSI-RS based approach – Main motivation is to reduce RS overhead – DM-RS for demodulation of PDSCH only (except TxD)    

UE specific Transmitted only in scheduled RBs and the corresponding layers RSs on different layers are mutually orthogonal RS and data are subject to the same precoding operation

– CSI-RS for measurement  Transmitted by puncturing PDSCH RE in a duty cycle  Idea is that CSI-RS overhead can be made very small (e.g. less than 1% for 8Tx antenna support)

– Independent antenna configuration  Although LTE-A antenna port is larger than 4Tx, Rel-8 antenna port can be defined less than 4Tx  Any combination is possible b/w the number of LTE-A CSI-RS ports and the number of CRS ports TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 46 © Nokia Siemens Networks

• A UE in transmission mode 10 can be configured with one or more CSI processes per serving cell by higher layers.

Therefore UE can send CSI of each TP in independently. (support to do CS/CB, DPS, JT) TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 66 © Nokia Siemens Networks

Cell agnostic operation • UE is camping to one serving cell as in R8 (following process is with serving cell) •Synchronize with PSS/SSS/CRS, identify cell id, read SI

•UE transmit PUSCH targeting to a virtual cell, network can decide which cell to receive it. •UE receive PDSCH without know which cell it comes from TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 67 © Nokia Siemens Networks

Intra-site evolution

Achieving decisive UL performance gains requires 4RX antennas per sector. UL JR-CoMP gives attractive Cell Edge and Sector SE gains also as part of intra-site evolution. Gains from inter-site JR-CoMP are increased when power settings are changed to trade-off cell edge SE gains for sector SE gains. UL JR-CoMP does not require standard support, but standard support will enhance UL JR-CoMP performance. • ~25% sector SE gain and ~50% cell

User plane structure – Downlink • Compared to the Layer 2 structure of LTE Rel-8, the multi-carrier nature of the physical layer is only exposed to the MAC layer for which one HARQ entity is required per CC. • The Layer 2 structure for the downlink is depicted here: There is one PDCP and RLC per Radio Bearer. Not visible from RLC on how many CCs the PHY layer transmission is conducted. RLC supports data rates up to 1Gbps.

Same general principle as for downlink: • Independent synchronous HARQ per CC. • If UE is scheduled on multiple CCs, the UE Which order it utilizes the grants How to multiplex data from different radio bearers on CCs (based on logical channel prioritization rules).

• Separate transport channels per CC.

CC/Cell management:

PCell/SCell concept

• CA is configured for a UE • RRC Connected state only • Single RRC Connection (in standards perspective) • No effects to the Idle mode

Primary Cell (PCell): •Provides Security inputs •Provides NAS mobility functions •Used for PUCCH transmission •Used for RRC connection re-establishment •Can be changed only by Handover •Cannot be deactivated •Cannot be cross scheduled •Have always Uplink and Downlink resources Carrier frequency (FDD) or UL/DL subframes (TDD) •Used for Radio Link Monitoring •In summary: UE operates in PCell in similar manner as in Rel8/9 serving cell TTA LTE Standards/Technology Training 77 © Nokia Siemens Networks

Secondary Cell (SCell): •SCells are configured based on UE capability •Can have DL only resource or DL and UL resource •Are Rel-8 backward compatible cells •Are configured to be used by the UE by dedicated signaling (RRC Reconfiguration) •Providing additional resources for UEs connection •Can be deactivated; Both UL and DL is deactivated simultaneously •Can be cross scheduled from PCell or from other SCells but always from single location •UE acquires system information of SCell by dedicated signaling (RRC Reconfiguration)

Cell Configuration • Pcell – Existing PCell is implicitly indicated – Cell index for PCell is implicitly “0” – PCell is changed only with handover (i.e. RACH and security change) • Scell – Delta configuration to the existing SCell applied – Existing SCell is explicitly indicated by frequency or cell index – Full configuration is used for SCell addition – SCell can be added / removed / reconfigured for a UE at any time the eNB wants to do so
