Abstract

We analyze spectral efficiency of dynamic time division duplex in a fixed wireless cellular network. Conventionally, spectral efficiency has been analyzed for static and fully loaded systems. In this paper, we investigate how asymmetric and dynamic traffic affect the spectral efficiency of Time-Division-Duplex (TDD) systems. Recently, dynamic TDD (D-TDD) has gained much attention as an efficient duplex scheme for high-speed data communications, because adaptive switching ability enables the system to obtain statistical multiplexing gain by exploiting dynamic and asymmetric data traffic. However, it has been noted that a rather strong co-channel interference can be present due to adaptive switching in a cellular network that uses frequency reuse. Thus, benefits of dynamic TDD may not be justifiable unless a proper countermeasure is employed. To suppress the effect of strong co-channel interference, we employ time slot allocation (TSA) strategy along with sector antenna layouts, as proposed in our previous work Jeong and Kavehrad (IEEE and Transactions on communication, Vol. 50, no.10 pp. 1627–1636, 2002). We note that higher spectral efficiency is obtained in D-TDD systems by employing TSA strategy. We also evaluated spectral efficiency of D-TDD system employing adaptive modulation, assuming that traffic is delay tolerant. It is observed that five times higher spectral efficiency can be obtained by employing adaptive modulation. The effect of variance of ratio of offered load on uplink and downlink is also evaluated. Our computer simulation results show that spectral efficiency of D-TDD system with time slot allocation algorithm is more than that of static TDD (S-TDD) over a large range of traffic variation. In conclusion, D-TDD system can take advantage of statistical multiplexing gain of dynamic traffic by adaptively positioning the boundary to the varying traffic bandwidth in its two-way transmissions when TSA strategy is employed for suppression of strong co-channel interference.
