EU FP7 INFSO-ICT-317669 METIS, D3.1 Positioning of multi-node/multi-antenna technologies
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This document describes the research activity in multi-node/multi-antenna technologies within METIS and positions it with respect to the state-of-the-art in the academic literature and in the standardization bodies. Based on the state-of-the-art and as well as on the METIS objectives,we set the research objectives and we group the different activities (or technology components) into research clusters with similar research objectives. The technologycomponents and the research objectives have been set to achieve an ambidextrous purpose. On one side we aim at providing the METIS system with those technological components that are a natural but non-trivial evolution of 4G. On the other side, we aim at seeking for disruptivetechnologies that could radically change 5G with respect to 4G. Moreover, we mapped the different technology components to METIS’ other activities and to the overall goals of theproject.

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This deliverable describes the current results of the multi-node/multi-antenna technologies investigated within METIS and analyses the interactions within and outside Work Package 3. Furthermore, it identifies the most promising technologies based on the current state of obtained results. This document provides a brief overview of the results in its first part. The second part, namely the Appendix, further details the results, describes the simulation alignment efforts conducted in the Work Package and the interaction of the Test Cases. The results described here show that the investigations conducted in Work Package 3 are maturing resulting in valuable innovative solutions for future 5G systems.

An Overview of Massive MIMO Technology Components in METIS
- 2017

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As the standardization of full-dimension MIMO systems in the Third Generation Partnership Project progresses, the research community has started to explore the potential of very large arrays as an enabler technology for meeting the requirements of fifth generation systems. Indeed, in its final deliverable, the European 5G project METIS identifies massive MIMO as a key 5G enabler and proposes specific technology components that will allow the cost-efficient deployment of cellular systems taking advantage of hundreds of antennas at cellular base stations. These technology components include handling the inherent pilot-data resource allocation trade-off in a near optimal fashion, a novel random access scheme supporting a large number of users, coded channel state information for sparse channels in frequency-division duplexing systems, managing user grouping and multi-user beamforming, and a decentralized coordinated transceiver design. The aggregate effect of these components enables massive MIMO to contribute to the METIS objectives of delivering very high data rates and managing dense populations.

From Single- to Multi-User Scheduling in LTE-A Uplink Exploiting Virtual MIMO

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper focuses on frequency and spatial domain scheduling in a frequency division duplex (FDD) Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A) system for the uplink direction. First we present a single-user (SU) channel-dependent scheduling (CDS) algorithm for continuous bandwidth allocation. There, we introduce a parameter to adjust the distribution of the user throughput without any loss in system performance. This is done as a preparation for the main contribution of this paper where we take advantage of the fact that a base station (BS) in LTE-A will be equipped with two ore more receive antennas by exploiting virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) through multi-user (MU) scheduling. We take the output of the SU-algorithm and group additional user in a second spatial layer to increase the system throughput. Note that our proposed MU algorithm requires a SU scheduler considering the continuous bandwidth constraint for assigned resources per user, because we do not change scheduling decisions made by the SU algorithm. The evaluation in this paper is done by extensive system level simulations in a third generation partnership project (3GPP) conform multi-cell scenario, assuming both SU and full MU interference. Numerical results show that our MU-algorithm improves the system throughput by 25-50 % compared to SU scheduling in uplink.
