Abstract

This paper evaluates the adjacent channel coexistence issues between LAA(License Assisted Access) system and other system (e.g. Wi-Fi) system in 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum. LAA is a technology to achieve enhanced data rate by aggregating licensed and unlicensed spectrum using CA(Carrier Aggregation). The coexistence study is essential before deploying LTE in unlicensed spectrum to verify the impact of LTE on the existing system such as Wi-Fi including system in throughput and regulatory aspects. This paper evaluates and analyzes the RF requirements of LTE system using interference analysis of coexistence study when operating at adjacent frequency channel of the Wi-Fi system in order to minimize the impact of LTE system into Wi-Fi system.

Article
An LTE enhancement for licensed-assisted access (LAA) to unlicensed spectrum has been studied recently and the first version of its design has been released in early 2016. As both 2.4 and 5GHz ISM bands have multiple channels and Wi-Fi devices already support multi-channel operation, LTE LAA has also been designed such that an eNB can access multiple channels at the same time. In this paper, we review several design variants of listen before talk (LBT) procedure for multi-channel transmission in downlink and perform simulation to investigate coexistence of Wi-Fi and LAA as well as the performance of both.
