• One Macrocell (Base Station) connects all mobile devices

operating under its coverage

• Locations and configuration are carefully chosen through

deployment planning to maximize the coverage and minimize the

interferences among other Macrocells

• Have very similar capability, data rates, QoS and serving UE

number regardless the data traffics

• Not a good solution for unbalanced data traffics from UEs

(busy office area, stadium, university vs. rural areas)

• High cost of equipment as well as installation and maintenance

• Expand wireless service coverage and improve capacity

• Various of wireless access technologies and cell types

• Combination of Macrocells, RRH, DAS, relay and Small Cells

- WLAN is also considered

(Hot Spot 2.0 from Wi-Fi Alliance, I-WLAN & SaMOG from 3GPP)

• Faster deployment with flexible installation location

• More interference challenges

• Provide different capability, data rates, QoS to maximize ROI

depending on data demands on the specific areas

• Lower cost of small cells, installation as well as maintenance

• Lower power consumptions from Cells and UEs - Green Networks

25





Quick Comparison - Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous Networks

Homogeneous Network Heterogeneous Network

Cell size One big and same size

Base Station Various with smaller nodes

Coverage Broader (25-40km) Narrower (50m to 2km)

Deployment

Ownership

Carefully planned and

configured by wireless

operators

Small Cells- less planned,

installed by wireless operators

as well as end-users

Interference Well managed from

deployment plan

Complicated due to various

overlaps, types of backhauls

and managing ownership

Capacity Flexibility Hardly flexible More flexible

Cost of equipment,

installation and

maintenance

Higher Small Cells- Lower

26





Why Moving to Heterogeneous Network?

• Difficult to Install Base Station in Data Traffic Dense Areas

- Challenge to find right property to install new Base Stations

• Limitation on Advanced Radio Technologies

- Face technical / realistic challenges to keep improving wireless performance

- Limited efficiency and performance at cell edge due to co-channel interference- require high SINR and power

• Need to Reduce Cost (CAPEX, OPEX)

- Reduce costs for installation as well as maintenance

• Fast and Flexible Deployment

- Faster Small Cell deployment, even with self installation by end-user

• Less Power Consumptions- Green Network

- Both cells and UEs can reduce the power consumption

- Low Power Small Cells

• Overlay under Macrocell coverage to improve service coverage,

spectrum efficiency and network capacity

• Offload Macrocell data load

• Increase capacity flexibility based on data demands on the areas.

• Same or similar QoS as Macrocell under the wireless service

operators’ management with licensed spectrum

• Various types of backhaul

• Complicated interference, handover issues

- Remote Radio Heads / Distributed Antenna System

• Physically expand Base Station capability to desired places

• Retransmit the Base Station signals linked with the fiber optic

cables

• Improve only coverage; not improve or add network capability

• Much more cost effective than Base Station; slightly more

expensive and more power consumption than Small cells or WLAN

Heterogeneous Network Challenges

36





Interference

• Overlapped cells can cause significant interference issue

(Ex. Macrocell vs Picocell, Macrocell vs Femtocell)

• More complicated interference manage than Homogeneous

Network with various cell-types, radio technologies and backhauls

• Interferences reduce the Heterogeneous Networks performance

37





Interference - Continued

• 3GPP Rel. 8 and 9

- Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC)

o Frequency domain

o Power control

o ICIC manages only data channels- No improving with the HetNet

interference issue

• 3GPP Rel. 10

- enhanced-Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC)

o Add Time domain with Almost Blank Sub-frames (ABS) to reduce the

interference issues

o Cross-Carrier Scheduling with Carrier Aggregation

• 3GPP Rel.11

- Further enhanced-Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (FeICIC) is under

developed

38






• 3GPP Rel. 10

Lightly Loaded CCH transmission Sub-frame (LLCS) to reduce

Resources can be assigned to a user equipment (UE) in two ways:

Same-carrier scheduling

Cross-carrier scheduling

PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) carries the uplink and downlink resource grant

Same Carrier Scheduling

- Separate PDCCH for each CC

- Resource scheduling (Downlink assignments / Uplink grants) are on the same carrier

- Reusing 3GPP Release 8 / 9 PDCCH structure and DCI formats for backward compatibility

- Each component carrier can be analyzed individually

• 3GPP Rel. 10

Cross Carrier Scheduling

- Common PDCCH for multiple CCs

- Resource scheduling (Downlink assignments / Uplink grants) are NOT on the same carrier

- New Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) in DCI

- Analysis of one carrier depends on another carrier

• 3GPP Rel. 10








• Manage control channel interference for PDCCH.

• Ex.CC1 of Macrocell would cause high interference to CC1 of Picocell, therefore

Picocell uses CC2 for PDCCH messages to schedule PDSCH transmission on CC1

• Macro cell uses CC1 to schedule PDSCH transmission on both CC1 and CC2

Heterogeneous Network Challenges

• Self Organization Network

- Cell deployments with minimized service providers’ initial management

- Self-configuration, Self-healing, and Self-optimization

• Handover within different types of cell having different backhauls

- Handover among large number and various types of Macrocell and

small cells

• Security

- Hardware security

- Network security
