Coexistence analysis is extremely important in examining the possibility for spectrum sharing between orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based international mobile telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced and other wireless services. In this letter, a new closed form method is derived based on power spectral density analysis in order to analyze the coexistence of OFDM-based IMT-Advanced systems and broadcasting frequency modulation (FM) systems. The proposed method evaluates more exact interference power of IMT-Advanced systems in FM broadcasting systems than the advanced minimum coupling loss (A-MCL) method. Numerical results show that the interference power is 1.3 dB and 3 dB less than that obtained using the A-MCL method at cochannel and adjacent channel, respectively. This reduces the minimum separation distance between the two systems, which eventually saves spectrum resources.

Spectrum sharing between wireless systems becomes a critical issue due to emerging new technologies and spectrum shortage. Since WRC-07 allocated 3400-3600MHz band for the coming fourth generation (4G) or IMT-Advanced on a co-primary basis along with existing Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), it requires spectrum sharing studies to solve the interference problems between two systems. In this paper, I propose the separation distance between service coverages as a sharing fundamental criterion based on the interference to noise power ratio (I/N) received in a FWA base station from several IMT-Advanced base stations on the cellular systems. Especially, some results imply that I/N values compared to the worst case can be greatly reduced with MIMO SDMA interference mitigation technique of IMT-Advanced base stations so that these two systems can co-exist in the same frequency with appropriate separation distance.

As the user's demand for ultra high-speed wireless internet has increased, the standardization, research and development of future mobile communication systems have been done for several years. IMT-Advanced system which is called fourth generation mobile communication should support the data rate of 1 Gbps for nomadic users and 100 Mbps for mobile users. Also, the system should hold call connection at the mobile speed of 350 km/h. Meanwhile, since Doppler spread is linearly proportional to mobile speed, high mobility leads to the increase of interference between subcarriers and the deterioration of detection performance consequently. In this paper, we evaluate and analyze detection probability with respect to equalization methods in time-varying channels under system parameters complying with IMT-Advanced requirements. According to computer simulation conducted by varying mobile speed and code rate, MMSE based equalization can mitigate performance degradation of IMT-Advanced system considerably in time-varying channels.

This paper has proposed a dual-band transmitter RF Front-end for IMT-Advanced systems which has been implemented in a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The proposed dual-band transmitter RF Front-End covers 2300~2700 MHz, 3300~3800 MHz frequency ranges which support 802.11, Mobile WiMAX, and IMT-Advanced system. The proposed dual-band transmitter RF Front-End consumes 45 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage. The performances of the transmitter RF Front-End are verified through post-layout simulations. The simulation results show a +0 dBm output power at 2 GHz band, and +1.3 dBm output power at 3 GHz band.

Spectrum sharing between wireless systems becomes a critical issue clue to emerging new technologies and spectrum shortage. Recently, IMT system has been allocated in the same frequency C band (3400-4200MHz) along with FSS services on co-primary basis which means that harmful. interference probability may be inspired. In this paper, to estimate the spectrum sharing between IMT and FSS systems, I propose the minimum separation distances as a sharing criterion of I/N=-10dB using the interference to noise ratio(I/N) received at the reference FSS earth station from IMT multiple base station. Especially, same results imply that I/N values can be greatly reduced with MMO SDMA interference mitigation technique of IMT base station so that FSS and IMT systems can co-exist in the sam e frequency with appropriate separation distance.

Recently, the International Telecommunication Union allocated the 470-862 MHz band to the digital broadcasting (DB) service. Moreover, the 790-862 MHz sub-band will be allocated to the next-generation mobile system, known as the International Mobile Telecommunication - Advanced (IMT-A), and to the DB on a co-primary basis in the year 2015. Currently, two candidate technologies are available to represent the IMT-A system; the Mobile WiMAX and Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A). One of the main criteria of the IMT-A candidate is to not cause additional interference to the primary service (i.e., DB). In this paper, we address the spectrum sharing issue between the IMT-A candidates and the DB service. More precisely, we investigate the interference effect between the DB service and the mobile network, which could be either LTE-A or WiMAX. Our study proposes a spectrum sharing model to take into account the impact of interference and evaluates the spectrum sharing requirements such as frequency separation and separation distance. This model considers three spectrum sharing scenarios: co-channel, zero guard band, and adjacent channel. A statistical analysis is performed, by considering the interferer spectrum emission mask and victim receiver blocking techniques. The interference-to-noise ratio is used as an essential spectrum sharing criterion between the systems. The model considers the random distribution of the users, antenna heights, and the bandwidth effect as well as the deployment environment in order to achieve spectrum sharing. The results show that LTE-A is preferable to WiMAX in terms of having less interference impact on DB; this can eventually allow the operation of both services without performance degradation and thus will lead to efficient utilization of the radio spectrum.

The aim of 4G mobile communication systems is to connect arbitrary devices to high-speed network anytime, anywhere. Cellular system must solve the problem of inter-cell interference caused by frequency reuse for meeting needs of 4G. In this paper, to solve interference problem we propose the algorithm, the so-called Threshold-Based Region Decision (TBRD) and analyze characteristics and performance of the proposed algorithm through simulation. The proposed technique has high applicability and flexibility due to simple construction using only existing UE measurement, and achieves performance improvement through the threshold that can be easily controlled.
