Joint Uplink-Downlink Capacity and Coverage Optimization via Site-Specific Learning of Antenna Settings
Ezgi Tekgul, Thomas Novlan, Salam Akoum +1
We propose a novel framework for optimizing antenna parameter settings in a heterogeneous cellular network. We formulate an optimization problem for both coverage and capacity - in…
Double-Sequence Frequency Synchronization for Wideband Millimeter-Wave Systems with Few-Bit ADCs
Dalin Zhu, Ralf Bendlin, Salam Akoum +2
In this paper, we propose and evaluate two novel double-sequence low-resolution frequency synchronization methods in millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. In our system model, the base…
Directional Frame Timing Synchronization in Wideband Millimeter-Wave Systems with Low-Resolution ADCs
Dalin Zhu, Ralf Bendlin, Salam Akoum +2
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel beamforming strategy for directional frame timing synchronization in wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems operating with low-res…
Interference Coordination: Random Clustering and Adaptive Limited Feedback
Salam Akoum, Robert W. Heath
Interference coordination improves data rates and reduces outages in cellular networks. Accurately evaluating the gains of coordination, however, is contingent upon using a network…
Limited Feedback Over Temporally Correlated Channels for the Downlink of a Femtocell Network
Salam Akoum, Marios Kountouris, Robert W. Heath
Heterogeneous networks are a flexible deployment model that rely on low power nodes to improve the user broadband experience in a cost effective manner. Femtocells are an integral…
Limited Feedback for Temporally Correlated MIMO Channels with Other Cell Interference
Salam Akoum, Robert W. Heath
Limited feedback improves link reliability with a small amount of feedback from the receiver back to the transmitter. In cellular systems, the performance of limited feedback will…
