An Optimal Stopping Approach to Cell Selection in 5G Networks

Initial cell search and selection is one of the first few essential steps that a mobile device must perform to access a mobile network. The distinct features of 5G bring new challenges to the design of initial cell search and selection. In this paper, we propose a load-aware initial cell search and selection scheme for 5G networks. The proposed scheme augments the existing pure received power based scheme by incorporating a new load factor broadcast as part of system information. We then formulate a throughput optimization problem using the optimal stopping theory. We characterize the throughput optimal stopping strategy and the attained maximum throughput. The results show that the proposed cell search and selection scheme is throughput optimal with a carefully optimized connection threshold.

Performance and Compensation of I/Q Imbalance in Differential STBC-OFDM

Differential space time block coding (STBC) achieves full spatial diversity and avoids channel estimation overhead. Over highly frequency-selective channels, STBC is integrated with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to achieve high performance. However, low-cost implementation of differential STBC-OFDM using direct-conversion transceivers is sensitive to In-phase/Quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI). In this paper, we quantify the performance impact of IQI at the receiver front-end on differential STBC-OFDM systems and propose a compensation algorithm to mitigate its effect. The proposed receiver IQI compensation works in an adaptive decision-directed manner without using known pilots or training sequences, which reduces the rate loss due to training overhead. Our numerical results show that our proposed compensation algorithm can effectively mitigate receive IQI in differential STBC-OFDM.

Performance Analysis and Compensation of Joint TX/RX I/Q Imbalance in Differential STBC-OFDM

Differential space time block coding (STBC) achieves full spatial diversity and avoids channel estimation overhead. Over highly frequency-selective channels, STBC is integrated with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to efficiently mitigate intersymbol interference effects. However, low-cost implementation of STBC-OFDM with direct-conversion transceivers is sensitive to In-phase/Quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI). In this paper, we quantify the performance impact of IQI at both the transmitter and receiver radio frequency front-ends on differential STBC-OFDM systems which has not been investigated before in the literature. In addition, we propose a widely-linear compensation algorithm at the receiver to mitigate the performance degradation caused by the IQI at the transmitter and receiver ends. Moreover, a parameter-based generalized algorithm is proposed to extract the IQI parameters and improve the performance under high-mobility. The adaptive compensation algorithms are blind and work in a decision-directed manner without using known pilots or training sequences. Numerical results show that our proposed compensation algorithms can effectively mitigate IQI in differential STBC-OFDM.
