Description
The hypothesis of the project is that cognitive femtocells in a license-exempt band, along with an optimized spectrum policy, provide an efficient long-term solution to support the fast growth in mobile data traffic.
This project has two main success criteria:
• To demonstrate how the Cognitive Radio concept can be used to significantly improve the spectrum utilization and link performance compared to the current WiFi and femtocell solutions.
• To impact future standardization and spectrum policies for cognitive femtocells. It is envisioned that the results shall impact standardization and spectrum regulators for reservation of a license-exempt band of 100MHz or more in the 3.4-3.8GHz IMT band.
Core research concepts: The project has two main core research steps that converge in a unified vision on spectrum usage. The first core consists in the design and development, based on realistic transceiver models, of cognitive algorithms and protocols for improving the spectrum utilization of “beyond-femtocells”. The second is intended as a hardware demonstration of the developed concepts, in order to effectively prove their feasibility in practice rather than only in theory.
