In this paper, we have analyzed the effects of the interference from HAPS airship stations to P-MP FWA base station and to P-MP FWA terminal station, using more detail parameters such as a new interference model, a realistic HAPS scenario, practical antenna patterns for both HAPS system and FWA system. The analysis results show that, in the case of interference from HAPS AS into the P-MP FWA BS, compatibility between two systems can be obtained by using a sectored BS antenna with the boresight directed away from the nadir. However, in the case of Interference from HAPS AS into the P-MP FWA TS, the two systems cannot operate effectively in the same bands unless the separation distance is guranteed and/or some form of interference mitigation technique is employed such as dynamic channel allocation.

In this paper, the design, implementation, and analysis of a device capable of transmitting and receiving millimeter-wave signals and performing channel sounding measurements in atmospheric conditions at distances of up to approximately 10km outdoors are presented. The device is expected to be instrumental in studying the propagation characteristics of millimeter-wave frequencies. Utilizing data such as received power levels and power delay profiles (PDPs), comparisons with predicted values using path loss, K-factor, and other propagation models are facilitated. The mobile transceiver unit, integrated onto a vehicle platform, allows for flexible adjustment of transmitter and receiver positions, while synchronization issues with distance are mitigated using a rubidium atomic clock. Furthermore, automatic boresight alignment using scanning techniques is employed to locate the main sector of the antenna.

When multi-user MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) systems utilize a sum-rate maximization (SRM) scheduler, the throughput of the systems can be enhanced. However, fairness problems may arise because users located near cell edge or experiencing poor channel conditions are less likely to be selected by the SRM scheduler. In this paper, a weighted sum-rate maximization (WSRM) scheduler is used to enhance the fairness performance of the MIMO systems. Closed-form expressions for the optimal transmit power allocation of WSRM and corresponding weighted sum-rate (WSR) are derived in the 6-sector collaborative transmission system. Using the derived results, we propose an algorithm which searches the optimal power allocation for WSRM in the 3-sector collaborative transmission system. Based on the derived closed-form expressions and the proposed algorithm, we perform computer simulations to compare performance of the WSRM scheduler and the SRM scheduler with respect to the sum-rate and the log-sum-of-average rates. We further verify that the WSRM scheduler efficiently improves fairness performance by showing the enhanced performance of average transmission rates in low percentile region.

ITU has considered the 3,400$\sim$4,200 MHz band, which is allocated worldwide on a primary basis to the FSS, as a candidate band for future development of IMT system. In this band, this paper presents the results of the sharing studies performed between FSS and IMT systems through the theoretical and simulation analysis on the interference from multiple IMT base stations into a receiving FSS earth station considering the interference mitigation techniques such as antenna tilt angle and 3 sectors on the IMT base station. By using the long-term and short-term interference threshold, the coordination areas for the FSS earth station are provided to share frequency in 3,400$\sim$4,200 MHz band between FSS earth station and multiple IMT base stations in future.

In this paper, we propose new cell structures using multi-hop Relay Station(RS) based on IEEE802.16j in Narrow-Beam Trisector Cell (NBTC) and Wide-Beam Trisector Cell (WBTC), which are two methods for cell sectorization using 3-sector directional antennas. Then, we analyze our proposed structures compared with the existing system which does not use any RS about the numbers of optimized Base Station (BS) and multi-hop relay, the extended BS coverage, and the deployment cost according to the traffic density using optimization model. According to the results, we know the reduction of total deployment cost of the proposed systems and that WBTC is suitable when the traffic density is high and NBTC is suitable when the traffic density is low in our proposed multi-hop based NBTC and WBTC structures.

3GPP LTE-Advanced (Release 10) system specifies carrier aggregation (CA) to enable high data rate on using multiple frequency bands, including the variout CA-specific deployment scenarios. Considering one of those scenarios in which the different directional sector antenna is employed by each frequency band, we propose a per-carrier cell selection scheme that can improve the average throughput of the cell-edge users by allowing each user equipment (UE) to select the frequency band of the adjacent cell. Furthermore, a distributed algorithm for inter-cell copperative scheduling in this scheme is proposed to support proportional fairness among the cells. It has been shown that the proposed scheduling algorithm for the per-carrier cell selection scheme improves the cell-edge user throughput roughly by 50% over that of the conventional scheme.

Multi-user MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) systems require collaborative PF schedulers to improve the performance of the log sum of average transmission rates. While the performance of single cell based conventional PF schedulers has been evaluated over various channel conditions, scheduling algorithms by multiple base stations which select multiple users over a given time frame and their performance require further investigations. In this paper, we apply a collaborative PF scheduler to the distributed multi-user MIMO system, which assigns radio resources to multiple users by exchanging user channel information from base stations located in three adjacent sectors. We further evaluate its performance in terms of the log sum of average transmission rates. The performance is compared to that of the full-search collaborative PF scheduler which searches over all possible combinations of user groups, and that of a parallel PF scheduler that determines users without channel information exchange among base stations. We show the log sum of average transmission rates of the collaborative PF scheduler outperforms that of the parallel PF scheduler in low percentile region. In addition, the collaborative PF scheduler exhibits a negligible performance degradation when compared to the full-search collaborative PF scheduler while a significant reduction of the computational complexity is achievable at the same time.
