Diploma Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology, grade: excellent, Technical University of Berlin (Intelligent Networks), language: English, abstract: With the increasing data throughput requirements, the cellular network needs to move from homogeneous to heterogeneous system. In fact, the coexistence of different types of base stations with different capabilities such as femto/pico base stations as well as relays and macro base stations in random placements should improve the coverage and the spectral efficiency of the cellular networks. However, the complexity of inter-cell interference management will grow drastically and traditional interference avoidance/mitigation approaches need to be revised. Approaching this problem at the user equipment (UE), is of great interest since it can rely on little coordination among base stations. The work presented in this thesis focuses on a downlink interference cancellation at the UE and shows that such an intelligent receiver can bring its promised benefit only if the base stations get involved in the interference cancellation, specifically in the channel estimation process. The limitations of this approach are evaluated and depending on the surrounding base stations two solutions are proposed and discussed.

Fourth Generation (4G) wireless communication systems support current and emergent multimedia services such as mobile TV, social networks and gaming, high-definition TV, video teleconferencing, and messaging services. These systems feature the All-over-IP concept and boast improved quality of service. Several important R&D activities are currently under way in the field of wireless communications for 4G systems, but the coverage is widespread in the literature. Transmission Techniques for 4G Systems presents a compilation of the latest developments in the field of wireless communications for 4G systems, including evolved Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (eMBMS). Topics include: Transmission schemes suitable for future broadband wireless systems Advances in transmission techniques and receiver design to support emergent wireless needs for 4G requirements Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO), base station cooperation, macro-diversity, and inter-cell interference cancellation Multihop relay techniques, hierarchical constellations, and multi-resolution techniques Advances using block transmission techniques for different propagation and multi-user environments System-level evaluation of 4G using different transmission techniques Exploring the key requirements of emergent services, this volume provides fundamentals and theory along with transmission and detection techniques and schemes transversal to many digital communication systems—including wireless, cellular, and satellite. If you’re interested in or involved with 4G multimedia systems, this is the book you need on the latest R&D wireless activities so you can plan, design, and develop prototypes and future systems.
