Dynamic time-division duplexing (TDD) is considered a promising solution to deal with fast-varying traffic often found in ultra-densely deployed networks. At the same time, it generates more interference which may degrade the performance of some user equipment (UE). When base station (BS) utilization is low, some BSs may not have an UE to serve. Rather than going into sleep mode, the idle BSs can help nearby UEs using joint transmission. To deal with BS-to-BS interference, we propose using joint transmission with dummy symbols where uplink BSs serving uplink UEs participate in the precoding. Since BSs are not aware of the uplink symbols beforehand, any symbols with zero power can be transmitted instead to null the BS-to-BS interference. Numerical results show significant performance gains for uplink and downlink at low and medium utilization. By varying the number of participating uplink BSs in the precoding, we also show that it is possible to successfully trade performance in the two directions.

This paper considers the unavailability of complete channel state information (CSI) in ultra-dense cloud radio access networks (C-RANs). The user-centric cluster is adopted to reduce the computational complexity, while the incomplete CSI is considere d to reduce the heavy channel training overhead, where only large-scale inter-cluster CSI is available. Channel estimation for intra-cluster CSI is also considered, where we formulate a joint pilot allocation and user equipment (UE) selection problem to maximize the number of admitted UEs with fixed number of pilots. A novel pilot allocation algorithm is proposed by considering the multi-UE pilot interference. Then, we consider robust beam-vector optimization problem subject to UEs data rate requirements and fronthaul capacity constraints, where the channel estimation error and incomplete inter-cluster CSI are considered. The exact data rate is difficult to obtain in closed form, and instead we conservatively replace it with its lower-bound. The resulting problem is non-convex, combinatorial, and even infeasible. A practical algorithm, based on UE selection, successive convex approximation (SCA) and semi-definite relaxation approach, is proposed to solve this problem with guaranteed convergence. We strictly prove that semidefinite relaxation is tight with probability 1. Finally, extensive simulation results are presented to show the fast convergence of our proposed algorithm and demonstrate its superiority over the existing algorithms.
In this work the modeling and calibration method of reciprocity error in a coherent TDD coordinated multi-point (CoMP) joint transmission (JT) system are addressed. The modeling includes parameters such as amplitude gains and phase differences of RF chains between the eNBs. The calibration method used for inter-cell antenna calibration is based on precoding matrix indicator (PMI) feedback by UE. Furthermore, we provide some simulation results for evaluating the performance of the calibration method in different cases such as varying estimation-period, cell-specific reference signals (CRS) ports configuration, signal to noise ratio (SNR), phase difference, etc. The main conclusion is that the proposed method for intercell antenna calibration has good performance for estimating the residual phase difference.

This paper considers two base stations (BSs) powered by renewable energy serving two users cooperatively. With different BS energy arrival rates, a fractional joint transmission (JT) strategy is proposed, which divides each transmission frame into tw o subframes. In the first subframe, one BS keeps silent to store energy while the other transmits data, and then they perform zero-forcing JT (ZF-JT) in the second subframe. We consider the average sum-rate maximization problem by optimizing the energy allocation and the time fraction of ZF-JT in two steps. Firstly, the sum-rate maximization for given energy budget in each frame is analyzed. We prove that the optimal transmit power can be derived in closed-form, and the optimal time fraction can be found via bi-section search. Secondly, approximate dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is introduced to determine the energy allocation among frames. We adopt a linear approximation with the features associated with system states, and determine the weights of features by simulation. We also operate the approximation several times with random initial policy, named as policy exploration, to broaden the policy search range. Numerical results show that the proposed fractional JT greatly improves the performance. Also, appropriate policy exploration is shown to perform close to the optimal.
Small cell networks with dynamic time-division duplex (D-TDD) have emerged as a potential solution to address the asymmetric traffic demands in 5G wireless networks. By allowing the dynamic adjustment of cell-specific UL/DL configuration, D-TDD flexi bly allocates percentage of subframes to UL and DL transmissions to accommodate the traffic within each cell. However, the unaligned transmissions bring in extra interference which degrades the potential gain achieved by D-TDD. In this work, we propose an analytical framework to study the performance of multi-antenna small cell networks with clustered D-TDD, where cell clustering is employed to mitigate the interference from opposite transmission direction in neighboring cells. With tools from stochastic geometry, we derive explicit expressions and tractable tight upper bounds for success probability and network throughput. The proposed analytical framework allows to quantify the effect of key system parameters, such as UL/DL configuration, cluster size, antenna number, and SINR threshold. Our results show the superiority of the clustered D-TDD over the traditional D-TDD, and reveal the fact that there exists an optimal cluster size for DL performance, while UL performance always benefits from a larger cluster.
Base station (BS) cooperation is set to play a key role in managing interference in dense heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). Non-coherent joint transmission (JT) is particularly appealing due to its low complexity, smaller overhead, and ability for load balancing. However, a general analysis of this technique is difficult mostly due to the lack of tractable models. This paper addresses this gap and presents a tractable model for analyzing non-coherent JT in HCNs, while incorporating key system parameters such as user-centric BS clustering and channel-dependent cooperation activation. Assuming all BSs of each tier follow a stationary Poisson point process, the coverage probability for non-coherent JT is derived. Using the developed model, it is shown that for small cooperative clusters of small-cell BSs, non-coherent JT by small cells provides spectral efficiency gains without significantly increasing cell load. Further, when cooperation is aggressively triggered intra-cluster frequency reuse within small cells is favorable over intra-cluster coordinated scheduling.
