IMT-A capacity targets [ITU-R M.2133]:
2.2b/s/Hz for downlink and 1.4b/s/Hz for uplink
in urban deployment
supported rate is thus maximal 100Mbps/km2
(500m cell size; 40MHz)
Capacity needs (reality check):
peak density of 8,000 people/Km2
of which only 10% subscribe to the broadband service
of which only 20% require access at the same time
each requiring 5Mbps
IMT-Advanced versus Reality
City Average
People/Km2
Athens 5,400
Madrid 5,200
London 5,100
Barcelona 4,850
Warsaw 4,300
Naples 4,100
Berlin 3,750
Paris 3,550
Vienna 3,400
8,000 X 10% X 20% X 5Mbps = 800 Mbps/Km2

Increase in capacity over past decades:
Martin Cooper: doubled every 30 months over past 100 years
overall: million-fold increase in capacity since 1957
Breakdown of these gains:
5 x PHY; 25 x spectrum; 1600 x reduced cells, 5 x rest
Breakdown of (estimated) cost:
Air Interface versus Architecture
Reduced Cells MHz
Reduced Cells MHz PHY

Data support jeopardizes business prospects:
½ of CAPEX & ¼ of OPEX is must to be profitable:
Revenue versus Infrastructure Cost

BuNGee - Beyond Next Generation Mobile Broadband:
Project Coordinator: Alvarion, Israel
Public Website: http://www.ict-bungee.eu/
Duration: Jan 2010 – June 2012
Scheme: STREP
Innovative points of the project:
few high capacity above-rooftop Hub-BSs (HBS)
many below-rooftop access BSs (ABS)
very cost efficient 60GHz backhauling technology
system-aware PHY techniques (networked MIMO, etc)
joint design of backhaul and access networks, using heterogeneous radio
elements, licensed and licensed-exempt spectrum, etc.
design of a data and control plane protocol suite which facilitates autonomous
operation by means of a complete self-organizing networking paradigm
BuNGee – Excellent Byte/€ Ratio

From cognitive to docitive networking paradigms:
cognition: “system which is working under conditions it was not designed for”
docition: “teaching” between expert nodes to accelerate learning/cognition
result: truly autonomous SON with quick convergence
Management: Cognition & Docition

Grid Architecture:
mimic Barcelona layout
per sector 4 ABSs, 1 user each
simulating 1 sector only
Aggressive Frequency Reuse:
access link and self-backhaul communicate
simultaneously
access link and self-backhaul use the same
band
Self-Organizing Network:
adaptive and distributed power and
interference control at the ABS

Operator’s capacity challenge today and for next years:
capacity requirements are far off reality
except for order-of-magnitude PHY, rather work on architecture
infrastructure cost is major driver since ROI margins tighten
management becomes major problem, SON is a must
1Gbps/Km2 architecture with the following properties...
… LTE(-A) & WiMAX-agnostic architecture
... anytime and everywhere in urban environments
… cost-efficient to operators, service providers, users
… spectrally efficient using both licensed and exempt bands
... autonomous operation facilitating deploy & forget experience
Concluding Remarks
