Mobile Relaying Self-organized cooperation between User Equipments (UEs) UEs act as mobile relays, helping cell-edge UEs Each active UE may select multiple idle UEs Each idle UE helps at most one active UE Resolve conflicts when multiple sources request for same relay in distributed manner 6
System Model First hop broadcast channel Quality restricted by worst relay channel Second hop Multinode transmission Quality characterized by total received power Relay set clustering With multiple sources dynamically select best clustering of relay nodes Conflict resolution needed Sets of desired relays for source nodes Conflicts 7
Simulation Results Circular cell, distance-dependent path loss Four sources, 7 relays, Each source may select up to 3 relays Self-organized conflict resolution gives near-optimal performance 8

Subtask #2.3.2: Heterogeneous Networks: The project outcome While starting, a LTE compliant system simulator was build Path loss models, scenarios and radio parameters were adopted from 3GPP recommendations as such. First study: uplink power control parameter optimization in two-tier tier HetNet It was found that power control parameter selections are impacted due to newly added femtocells. Also, the performance of UL scheduling was impacted by the power control parameters. It can be stated that power control parameters will always represent a trade-off that depends on prioritization (between macrocell performance and femtocell performance). 11
Subtask #2.3.2: Heterogeneous Networks: The project outcome Second study: Distributed radio resource management in two-tier HetNet The goal was to find scheduling methods that avoid crucial interference especially between macrocell and femtocell layers A new stochastic scheduling method was introduced that can be applied based on rough predefined spectrum allocation rules between femtocells and macrocells. Analytical framework was later build based on analytical approximation of throughput distributions. In addition, HetNet CoMP work was started. The impact of delays on some simple cooperative multipoint transmission were analyzed and simulated. 12
Interference Management in LTE-A Het-Nets: Frequency-Domain Stochastic Scheduling Stochastic frequency-domain scheduling algorithm to manage co- channel interference in LTE-Advanced Het-Nets Objective: Allocate spectrum resources dynamically to obtain better performance results in both, femto- and macro-layers, when compared to traditional spectrum allocation approaches (i.e., fullrange and orthogonal alloc.) Approach: Stochastic scheme that relies on low-rate signaling exchange to allocate spectral resources at the FBSs in a distributed way (no central processing required) The stochastic scheduling scheme can be configured (by means of a parameter ω ) to balance smoothly the intra- and co-layer interference in the Het-Net 13
