Next generation networks are envisioned to have ubiquitous availability and seamless access as main goals. In general, coexistence of multiple access technologies is one of the most promising way to achieve these goals, particularly using…

Coexistence with Wi-Fi is the key issue for unlicensed band LTE. The main coexistence mechanism is Listen-Before-Talk, whereby radio frequency energy is sensed over a short period of time and compared to a threshold. Given the default…

This paper investigates the co-existence of Wi-Fi and LTE in emerging unlicensed frequency bands which are intended to accommodate multiple radio access technologies. Wi-Fi and LTE are the two most prominent access technologies being…

With the increase of wireless communication demands, licensed spectrum for long term evolution (LTE) is no longer enough. The research effort has focused on implementing LTE to unlicensed frequency bands in recent years, which unavoidably…

Spectrum sharing mechanisms need to be carefully designed to enable inter-technology coexistence in the unlicensed bands, as these bands are an instance of a spectrum commons where heterogeneous technologies and deployments must coexist.…

Driven by growing spectrum shortage, Long-term Evolution in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) has recently been proposed as a new paradigm to deliver better performance and experience for mobile users by extending the LTE protocol to unlicensed…

Interference evaluation is crucial when deciding whether and how wireless technologies should operate. In this paper we demonstrate the benefit of risk-informed interference assessment to aid spectrum regulators in making decisions, and to…

Coexistence of Wi-Fi and LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) technologies has drawn significant concern in industry. In this paper, we investigate the Wi-Fi performance in the presence of duty cycle based LTE-U transmission on the same channel. More…

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is expanding its utilization in unlicensed band by deploying LTE Unlicensed (LTEU) and Licensed Assisted Access LTE (LTE-LAA) technology. Smart Grid can take the advantages of unlicensed bands for achieving two-way…

Proponents of deploying LTE in the 5 GHz band for providing additional cellular network capacity have claimed that LTE would be a better neighbour to Wi-Fi in the unlicensed band, than Wi-Fi is to itself. On the other side of the debate,…

Coexistence of small-cell LTE and Wi-Fi networks in unlicensed bands at $5$ GHz is a topic of active interest, primarily driven by industry groups affiliated with the two (cellular and Wi-Fi) segments. A notable alternative to the 3GPP Rel.…

To access an unlicensed channel Wi-Fi follows Listen Before Talk (LBT) mechanism whereas LTE-U adopts ON-OFF duty cycled mechanism to fairly share the channel with Wi-Fi. These contrasting mechanisms result in quite different performance…

We leverage stochastic geometry to characterize key performance metrics for neighboring Wi-Fi and LTE networks in unlicensed spectrum. Our analysis focuses on a single unlicensed frequency band, where the locations for the Wi-Fi access…

LTE in unlicensed spectrum using licensed assisted access LTE (LTE-LAA) is a promising approach to overcome the wireless spectrum scarcity. However, to reap the benefits of LTE-LAA, a fair coexistence mechanism with other incumbent WiFi…

LTE in the unlicensed band (LTE-U) is a promising solution to overcome the scarcity of the wireless spectrum. However, to reap the benefits of LTE-U, it is essential to maintain its effective coexistence with WiFi systems. Such a…

We propose WiPLUS -- a system that enables WiFi to deal with the stealthy invasion of LTE-U into the frequency bands used by WiFi. Using solely MAC layer information extracted passively, during runtime, out of the hardware registers of the…

We consider the problem of fair coexistence between LTE and Wi-Fi systems in the unlicensed 5 GHz U-NII bands. We focus on the misbehavior opportunities due to the heterogeneity in channel access mechanism and the lack of a common control…

Network operators are looking towards LTE License Assisted Access (LAA) as a means of extending capacity by offloading traffic to unlicensed bands. However, operation in these bands requires abiding to certain coexistence rules in terms of…

With both small-cell LTE and Wi-Fi networks available as alternatives for deployment in unlicensed bands (notably 5 GHz), the investigation into their coexistence is a topic of active interest, primarily driven by industry groups. 3GPP has…

LTE-U/WiFi coexistence can be significantly improved by placing so-called coexistence gaps in space through cross-technology interference-nulling (CTIN) from LTE-U BS towards WiFi nodes. Such coordinated co-existence scheme requires, for…
