Autonomous deployment, optimization, and self-healing in beyond 4G wireless networks

我们的目标是用统一的无线空中接口技术为新兴的公路无线业务提供无线接入。希望利用与基于LTE-Advanced的不断发展的蜂窝技术兼容的单一无线技术。在同一终端中使用单一技术而不是蜂窝和WiFi技术的混合技术的优点是终端设计和网络操作简单统一。另一个主要优点是干扰管理和网络容量。蜂窝技术从早期的蜂窝系统开始设计，具有固有的功率控制和干扰管理机制，比WiFi网络要高效得多。这种无线系统未来发展的方法认识到，就工程设计而言，LTE等无线技术比WiFi等技术具有强大的优势，因为它们是为访问固定基础设施而设计的，而WiFi网络主要是为所有设备都是移动终端的自组织操作而设计的。然而，部署的WiFi网络具有非常强大的优势，例如成本低廉的接入点和客户的临时部署。该项目的目标是采用蜂窝技术，并增强空中接口，使其能够被用户大量部署，并由系统自主配置。自治基础设施

We are targeting the problem of providing wireless access for emerging roadband wireless services with a unified wireless air interface technology. It is desirable to utilize a single wireless technology which is compatible with evolving cellular technologies based on LTE-Advanced. The advantage of using a single technology rather than a hybrid of cellular and WiFi technologies in the same terminal, is simplicity and uniformity in terminal design and network operation. Another major advantage is that of interference management and network capacity. Cellular technologies have been designed from the early cellular systems to have inherent power control and interference management mechanisms that are far more efficient than what can be done with WiFi networks. This approach to the future evolution of wireless systems recognizes that in terms of engineering design wireless technologies such as LTE have strong advantages over technologies such as WiFi in the sense that they were designed for access to a fixed infrastructure versus WiFi networks that were designed mostly for ad-hoc operation where all devices are mobile terminals. However WiFi networks as deployed had very strong advantages such as lost cost access points and ad-hoc deployment by customers. The aim of the project is to take cellular technologies and enhance the air interfaces to allow them to be deployed in great numbers by users and configured autonomously by the system.
