Overview

Frequency shortage issue toward Ubiquitous Broadband Access


Potential technologies and their capabilities

Coding scheme

The state-of-the-art coding schemes with iterative decoding, e.g. Turbo, LDPC etc., would be able to offer about a few dB gain compared with legacy convolution coding schemes. The spectrum efficiency improvement is far from the required 17dB improvement.

Space Division Multiplexing

SDM enabled by MIMO has been received much attention for recent decade. However, the 17dB requirement necessitates a number of antennas in both BS and MS, which prevents this scheme from being a great candidate.

Small cells

We focus on this traditional approach


Picocell capability : highly bandwidth reduction by densely frequency reuse

We here assume a picocell system with comparable capacity of IMT-2000 while offering increased load being 10 times as much as that assumed for IMT-2000.
