An SDR-Based Performance Measurement of LTE and WLAN Coexistence

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Nadia Yoza Mitsuishi, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
In this paper, we report on a software-defined radio (SDR) based test setup to emulate and evaluate the performance of a few wireless coexistence scenarios. The first case we study consists of two long-term evolution (LTE) downlink channels from adjacent

Bi-Criteria Radio Spectrum Sharing with Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing

March 22, 2022
Author(s)
Zachary J. Grey, Susanna Mosleh, Jake Rezac, Yao Ma, Jason Coder, Andrew Dienstfrey
Radio spectrum is a scarce resource. To meet demands, new wireless technologies must operate in shared spectrum over unlicensed bands (coexist). We consider coexistence of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) License-Assisted Access (LAA) with incumbent Wi-Fi systems

Analyzing 5G NR-U and WiGig Coexistence with Multiple-Beam Directional LBT

February 15, 2022
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Susanna Mosleh, Jason Coder
The mmWave radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocations provide a large bandwidth and an excellent dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) opportunity for emerging 5G New-Radio unlicensed (NR-U) and Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) services. To support constructive DSS, we

Optimizing Unlicensed Band Spectrum Sharing With Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing

August 6, 2021
Author(s)
Zachary J. Grey, Susanna Mosleh, Jake Rezac, Yao Ma, Jason Coder, Andrew Dienstfrey
In order to meet the ever-growing demands of data throughput for forthcoming and deployed wireless networks, new wireless technologies like Long-Term Evolution License-Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) operate in shared and unlicensed bands. However, the LAA

Measurement Challenges for Spectrum Sensing in Communication Networks

April 27, 2021
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Yao Ma, Dazhen Gu, Adam Wunderlich, Jason Coder, Joseph R. Mruk
We summarize a few key spectrum sensing measurement challenges and recent advances. Laboratory tests of sensing are complicated by their inseparable and often imbedded role in modern hardware. Results are difficult to calibrate because physical parameters

A Case Study of Medical Device Wireless Coexistence Evaluation

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Mohamed Al-Kalaa, Joshua Guag, Seth Seidman, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
This article aims to provide a narrative for addressing wireless coexistence in medical devices to help medical device developers, test engineers, and regulatory affairs personnel throughout the device life cycle. Accordingly, we present a case-study

A Unified Analytical Approach to Multi-Cell LBT-Based Spectrum Sharing Systems

May 28, 2020
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Somayeh Mosleh, Jason B. Coder
Future unlicensed spectrum sharing scenarios involve multi-cell, multi-tier access of incumbent and emerging wireless systems, such as wireless local area network (WLAN), new-radio unlicensed (NR-U), and long-term evolution (LTE)with licensed assisted

Enhancing LAA Co-existence Using MIMO Under Imperfect Sensing

December 13, 2019
Author(s)
Somayeh Mosleh, Yao Ma, Jason B. Coder, Erik Perrins, Lingjia Liu
To meet the ever growing wireless network demands, in terms of subscribers and data throughput, operating long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed bands, also known as license assisted access (LAA), is introduced as a promising solution. However, the LAA

Using LZMA Compression for Spectrum Sensing with SDR Samples

November 9, 2018
Author(s)
Andre Rosete, Kenneth Baker, Yao Ma
Successful spectrum management requires reliable methods for determining whether communication signals are present in a spectrum portion of interest. The widely-used energy detection (ED), or radiometry method is only useful in determining whether a

July 29, 2018
Author(s)
Yao Ma, William Young, Eric W. Anderson, Jason Coder
To support efficient spectrum sharing and related standardization efforts in unlicensed spectrum, it is important to develop analytical tools to accurately quantify coexistence performance between long-term evolution license assisted access (LTE-LAA) and

January 3, 2018
Author(s)
Jason Coder, Yao Ma
The susceptibility of broadband wireless communications signals (e.g., LTE, IEEE 802.11) to interference has been a topic of significant research. In this paper, we implement a simulation-based study on the impact interference can have on the bit error

To enhance spectrum efficiency in next generation heterogeneous wireless systems, it is important to improve shared spectrum usage between unlicensed long-term evolution (LTE) systems, such as the license assisted access (LAA), and legacy systems, such as

Demultiplexing Spectrum-Sharing Field Sources with Distributed Field Probes

July 24, 2016
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Ryan T. Jacobs, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
A complete characterization of multiple-device wireless interactions must include data relatable to the electromagnetic field radiated by each device under test (DUT). If these field sources are separable in time or frequency, they can be demultiplexed
