Telrad techniques of interference mitigation for challenging unlicensed deployment

Real life Situation of Unlicensed Spectrum, 5.x GHz –“Jungle” of Interference

11

• There are many AP of all types all over Some are outdoor

Some are indoor

Some are with High Power and High gain

• Most of the AP have low end radio / filters that causes radio blinding below and above their spectrum mask therefore it’s a source of unpredicted interference

• The unlicensed equipment is typically not synchronized (no GPS)

Telrad unlicensed LTE Solution has several unparalleled techniques (TD-LTE standard driven & Unique techniques) to mitigate effectively the interference and as a result to improve the performance figures versus the competitive environment

Telrad Interference Mitigation Given Capabilities as TDD-LTE Standard Solution Driven Vs. Proprietary • LTE, a standard ecosystem was designed holistically, to be a better

technology for outdoor environment, therefore more interference robust

• Better link budget with Near-LOS capabilities not only LOS

• Resource blocks of 15KHz each and less susceptible to interference

Wide channels, pick up noise across the entire channel

• LTE Phy can handle better an interfered areas than the WiFi based solutions mainly due to its cyclic prefix

Improves the InterSymbol Interference and multipath reception

• LTE works better in lower SINR/CINR, generating more throughput

12

Telrad Interference Mitigation Given Capabilities as TDD-LTE Standard Solution Driven Vs. Proprietary (Cont)

• WiFi technology relies on Contention & Carrier Sense techniques to find a clear channel before transmission while LTE is based on a scheduled technology LTE can suffer performance degradation when exposed to high levels of

interferences while WiFi can be completely blocked

• Some unlicensed proprietary vendors use FDD (paired spectrum) technology which ultimately doubles the exposure to interference versus TDD-LTE

13
