450M in India)
“In the longer term, small wireless sensor devices embedded in objects, equipment and facilities
are likely to be integrated with the Internet through wireless networks that will enable
interconnectivity anywhere and at anytime”

Multi-tier Networks
Idea
•
•
•
Overlay multiple tiers of cells, macro/pico/femto, potentially sharing common spectrum
Client-to-client communication can be viewed as an additional tier (see client co-operation)
Tiers can be heterogeneous (802.16 and 802.11)

Spectrum Utilization
Advantages of Multi-tier Networks
•
Significant gains in areal capacity via aggressive
spectrum reuse and use of unlicensed bands
–
E.g.: Co-channel femto-cells provide linear gains
in areal capacity with increasing number of femtoAP’s in a multi-tier deployment
•
Cost structure of smaller cells (pico and femto) is
more favorable
•
Indoor coverage is improved through low cost
femto-cells

Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks’, PIMRC’07.
Significant potential savings in cost per bit via multi-tier networks

Spectrum Utilization
Challenges with Multi-tier Networks
•
Cross-tier interference
• Tiers cause significant interference to each other; problem worse with closed BSs
• E.g. Macro/Femto deployment
– Closed femto-cell transmissions cause significant interference to macro-users
– Interference to data can be addressed with intelligent use of FFR partitions and/or FFZ
– Interference to control can not be addressed using FFR or FFZ

Client Cooperation is a technique where clients interact to jointly transmit and/or receive information
in wireless environments.
Idea: Exploit client clustering and P2P communication to transmit/receive information over multiple
paths between BS and client.
Benefit: Performance improvement in throughput, capacity and reliability without increased
infrastructure cost.
Usage: Clusters of stationary/nomadic clients with WLAN P2P connectivity that share WWAN service

Cell Capacity
Client Cooperation Issues
• Power
– Reduces power consumed by WiMAX transmissions
• Client Cooperation reduces re-transmissions and boosts MCS per burst
– Power consumed by WiFi transmissions is TBD
• Power is consumed when MS and cooperator exchange packets; increases
with probability of WiFi collisions
• Power also consumed by neighbor discovery and cooperator selection
protocols
• Security
– Control and data packets are protected
– Sharing MS STID with cooperator may facilitate denial of service
attacks
• Accounting
– Not required, but enabling accounting enlarges market

27
Cell Capacity
Client Cooperation Standards Impacts
• 802.11/WiFi
– Peer-to-peer WiFi connectivity required
– Neighbor Discovery and Cooperator Selection protocols need to be
enabled in P2P WiFi mode
• 802.16/WiMAX
– Enable coordinated Neighbor Discovery opportunities
• Speeds up WiFi Neighbor Discovery – saves power
• Increases probability of discovery – improves cooperator selection
– Provide shared cooperator/MS STID
• Establishes cooperative relationship without sharing MS STID
• Allows central entity to do accounting

29
Network Capacity
Interference Alignment
Idea
•
Align transmit directions so that interfering signals
all come from the same “direction” (subspace)
•
Alignment can be across antennas, frequency, time
•
Benefits: Improves uplink and downlink
transmissions of cell-edge users;
Tx signal
Rx signal
Low receiver complexity
•
Challenge: Practical schemes that can achieve
theoretical gain
Performance (theory) in high SNR regime: If there are K
pairs and each node has M antennas, then KM/2 degrees
of freedom are achievable. For comparison, perfect
resource sharing achieves 1 degree of freedom.
