Abstract:
-
5G will have to support a multitude of new
applications with a wide variety of requirements,
including higher peak and user data rates,
reduced latency, enhanced indoor coverage,
increased number of devices, and so on. The
expected traffic growth in 10 or more years from
now can be satisfied by the combined use of
more spectrum, higher spectral efficiency, and
densification of cells.
The focus of the present
article is on advanced techniques for higher
spectral efficiency and improved coverage for
cell edge users. We propose a smart combination
of small cells, joint transmission coordinated
multipoint (JT CoMP), and massive MIMO to
enhance the spectral efficiency with affordable
complexity.
We review recent achievements in
the transition from theoretical to practical concepts
and note future research directions. We
show in measurements with macro-plus-smallcell
scenarios that spectral efficiency can be
improved by flexible clustering and efficient user
selection, and that adaptive feedback compression
is beneficial to reduce the overhead significantly.
Moreover, we show in measurements that
fast feedback reporting combined with advanced
channel prediction are able to mitigate the
impairment effects of JT CoMP.
