Converging Towards Open Radio Access Networks – A Comprehensive Review

Radio Access Networks (RAN) have been an integral part of the cellular mobile communication systems since the deployment of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) networks and later for the legacy Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. However, due to increasing demands of the users, throughput, ultra-lower latency, virtualization of the network and to cater the seamless connectivity of millions of wireless devices with the cellular networks, the advent of RAN needs to be brought under consideration. In this paper the traditional RANs are discussed with the necessity for their transition into the Open RAN (ORAN), considering all its essential parameters. The constraints of the legacy RAN architectures are explored with an overview of the RAN intelligent controllers, ORAN and its types. This paper additionally examines the function of artificial intelligence in Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), enhanched CPRI, and xApps in terms of use cases along with the challenges associated with their deployment. The paper also present challenges and future of ORAN.

Energy Efficiency Analysis of the Discontinuous Reception Scheme in 5G NR Communication Systems

The purpose of this work is to analyze the energy saving schemes of user equipment in the first releases (Release 15) of the fifth generation (5G NR) cellular mobile communication systems, as well as to identify possible ways to improve the energy efficiency of these systems. The paper describes the identified drawbacks of the existing discontinuous reception scheme (DRX-scheme) used for user equipment energy saving in 5G NR. The effectiveness of discontinuous reception scheme in reducing user equipment energy consumption was analyzed in detail by simulation study for various traffic models and a key scenario for the deployment of 5G wireless cellular mobile communication systems. Analysis of the simulation results shows that the discontinuous reception scheme does not reach the upper limit of possible energy saving for all the traffic models studied for a number of reasons described in this paper.

Frequency allocation algorithm

Wireless communication technology's quick advancement has facilitated the ongoing formation of numerous new communication business scenarios and the thorough connectivity of man-machine-object-space. The conflict between few channel resources and high demand is becoming more and more obvious, which adds to the stress on the entire network. In order to enhance communication quality with constrained frequency resources, more optimal channel allocation techniques are urgently required. This paper discusses the increasing demand for frequency resources due to the exponential growth of data traffic, which has necessitated more efficient channel allocation methods to optimize communication quality with limited frequency resources. The evolution of mobile wireless cellular communication systems from the first generation to the current fifth generation, and the imminent emergence of the sixth generation, are also discussed. The paper highlights the importance of ultra-dense networks and device-to-device communication in meeting the capacity and coverage requirements of 5G networks. The advantages and disadvantages of different frequency reuse methods, specifically Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and water injection algorithm, are analyzed. The paper summarizes these methods' principles and application effects in specific situations, emphasizing the need for appropriate frequency reuse methods to achieve optimal channel allocation and communication quality.

Influence of Spatial Selectivity of Radiation of Mobile Communication Base Stations on the Level of Electromagnetic Background Introduced by them

Radio frequency electromagnetic radiation from base stations is the main source of electromagnetic background generated by mobile (cellular) communication systems in residential areas; its intensity makes a significant contribution to the level of electromagnetic pollution of the habitat and determines the level of electromagnetic safety of the population. The previously proposed technique for estimating the average intensity of this background, based on the analysis of the territorial intensity of mobile traffic, takes into account the spatial selectivity of base station radiation in a simplified form by introducing the radiation directivity parameter U, equal to the inverse of the number of base station service sectors, assuming that the width of the main lobe of the radiation pattern is equal to the width of this sector and without taking into account the radiation directivity in the vertical plane, which determines the pessimistic nature of these estimates. The paper presents a refined analysis of the values of the parameter U for a two-level models of antenna radiation patterns, which reflects the real values of the width of their main lobes in horizontal and vertical planes, the relative levels of side lobes and the ratio of radiation power of the main and side lobes. The analysis was performed both for stationary sector antennas of cellular communication systems and for adaptive phased antenna arrays of 4G/5G systems capable of providing service using narrow beams. The analysis showed that the value of the U parameter of sector antennas is 5–15 dB less than the inverse of the number of sectors of base stations, and for narrow beams of adaptive antenna arrays, this difference reaches 20 dB. If tilt angles of main lobes of antenna radiation patterns with respect to the horizon are less than 30°, then at estimation of the average electromagnetic background intensity the inverse of their antenna gain in the main lobe can be used as the U parameter value of the spatial selectivity (directivity) of base stations radiations.

Uplink grant‐free pattern division multiple access transmission scheme by exploiting poly complementary sequence

AbstractNon‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology is a key technology of the future cellular mobile communication system. It provides services for users under different channel conditions through signal superposition transmission and spectrum multiplexing. Pattern division multiple access (PDMA) is a new NOMA technology based on the overall optimization of multi‐user communication system. Since the performance of PDMA mainly depends on the gain of the pattern matrix, we propose a design scheme of uplink PDMA pattern matrix for ultra‐reliable low latency communication (uRLLC). For the interference between users is a common problem in NOMA system, first, we use poly complementary sequence (PCS) as the spread codebook to spread the PDMA transmission signal and reduce interference. Meanwhile, an uplink power control scheme is proposed. It allocates wireless resources reasonably by jointly considering the interference between users and resource blocks within users (JUR), the corresponding outage probability formula is also derived. Simulation results show that compared with the previous researches, the pattern matrix design scheme and JUR power control scheme proposed in this article have greatly improved the transmission performance. The addition of PCS spread spectrum technology can significantly reduce the block error rate and outage probability.

Groups of mobile cellular service stations for operational radio communication tasks in remote areas

The authors of the article consider solutions needed to organize mobile cellular communication systems in remote areas. Modern mobile stations do not have the capability to overcome marshy areas, steppe, heavily rugged reliefs of the desert, water barriers and forests. Moreover, the coverage area from one base station is not highly localized (radio coverage area is not significant). Furthermore, modern mobile communication facilities have poor autonomy. The article proposes measures for an operational organization of cellular communications in large remote areas with a coverage radius of a medium-sized city. Article also considers the issues posed by a temporary organization of communication service in large sections near important locations (pipelines, riverbeds, transport and railway lines). The need for such an operational usage of mobile communication systems is most associated with geological exploration and scientific research in large remote areas and large areas with a damaged communication system due to natural emergencies or military operations.

Vehicle Length Estimation Using an LTE Transmitter Combined With a Software-Defined Receiver

Unobtrusive determination of an intruding vehicle's length is useful for threat assessments in perimeter surveillance, law enforcement, and antiterrorism applications. We describe a passive radar architecture wherein a broadcast signal from a cellular mobile communication system radio transmitter is bistatically scattered by a moving vehicle and received and processed in a software-defined radio platform. Measurement of the maximum Doppler frequency and the target viewing time combined with the known geometry of the measurement scenario permits the estimation of the target vehicle's length. Good agreement is observed between actual and estimated lengths for various vehicle types.

Analyzing the Effect of Radiation on Human beings of Electromagnetic waves from BTS and MS in Kushtia, Bangladesh

Based on Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Mobile Station (MS) radiation, the residence of Kushtia district in Bangladesh is usually concerned with the potential health effects. Inhabitants, living in this part of Bangladesh are using communication, internet browsing, and other related uses with the help of mobile cellular communication system. The subscriber needed improving radio coverage, excellent communication networks, and quicker speed for internet browsing with the recent developments in mobile cellular communication technologies. To meet this demand, service providers of mobile cellular companies set up several BTS, which emit harmful radiation that has extremely detrimental impact on the human body. Through this paper, the effects of electromagnetic radiation of MS as well as BTS on the human body have been analyzed and Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation levels of MSs along with BTSs located in this region have been measured. These measurements have been compared with the measured value provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Finally, a cross-sectional analysis was carried out to evaluate the understanding and self-reported health risks of Electromagnetic waves (EMW) radiation emittedfrom the MS as well as BTS among the inhabitants of this region who are living near and a little away from BTS.

Is 5G Handover Secure and Private? A Survey

The next-generation mobile cellular communication and networking system (5G) is highly flexible and heterogeneous. It integrates different types of networks, such as 4G legacy networks, Internet of Things (IoT), vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), and wireless local access network (WLAN) to form a heterogeneous network. This easily results in continual vertical handovers between different networks. On the other hand, substantial deployment of small/micro base stations (BSs) brings frequent horizontal handovers within a network. The continual handovers among BSs and various networks expose mobile equipment (ME) to the risk of security and privacy threats. So far, many security and privacy mechanisms have been proposed to ensure secure handover either vertically or horizontally in 5G networks. Nevertheless, there still lacks a thorough survey to summarize recent advances and explore open issues although handover security and privacy are crucial to 5G. In this article, we summarize security and privacy requirements in handovers to resist potential attacks. Following these requirements as the evaluation criteria, we review secure and privacy-preserving handover schemes by categorizing them into two scenarios, i.e., vertical handover and horizontal handover. As for the vertical handover, we review related work from three classes, i.e., handovers within Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, between 3GPP and non-3GPP networks, and between non-3GPP networks. Concerning horizontal handovers, we review related work from two classes, i.e., intramobile service controller (MSC) and inter-MSC handover. Meanwhile, we analyze and compare the technical means and performance of these works in order to uncover open issues and inspire future research directions.

Ethernet interaction at wave propagation of millimetres

For the establishment of 5G cellular system, increased amount of data rate is required. The frequency requirement of 5G system is 6 GHz. In order to transmit signal with large bandwidths, such high frequency is required. The propagation loss can be reduced by using beamforming antennas with increased amount of gain. The use of high frequency beamforming antennas require several changes in the cellular system such as cell search, random access, beam measurement for fast beam adaptation, and various physical data and control channels. In this paper, a new radio frame structure is proposed for the upcoming mobile cellular communication system at millimeter wave frequency which overcomes the fore mentioned challenges. A test bed in Samsung Electronics, Korea, was built which was based on the proposed structure of frame at 28 GHz with bandwidth was 800 MHz It delivers a stream of 64 QAM data with a data rate of 7.5Gbps and code rate of ¾ to the transmitter as well as receiver mobile stations (MSs) which are closely located with their corresponding base stations. They also deliver a stream of 16 QAM data with the data rate of 1.2 Gbps and the code rate of ¾ to an MS moving at a speed of 110 km/h within a cell of coverage area up to 800 m in a Line Of Sight scenario. Finally, Handover is achieved at an interruption time of 21 ms in 3-cell environment; therefore, upcoming mobile cellular communication can be practically achieved at millimeter wave frequency.

Correlation between the potential electromagnetic pollution level and the danger of COVID-19. 4G/5G/6G can be safe for people

The paper considers a hypothesis concerned the possible influence of electromagnetic pollution of the environment on the lethality rate of the population from coronavirus infection, along with other factors. The hypothesis is indirectly confirmed by the correlation between the degree of rigidity of hygienic regulations of radio frequency electromagnetic background levels for the population, which are mainly created by mobile (cellular) communication systems, and the lethality rate from COVID-19 in various countries. A special measures to ensure the safety of rapid development of technologies, systems and services for mobile communications of the fourth (4G), fifth (5G), and, by 2030, the sixth (6G) generation, associated with an increase by several orders of magnitude in the number of radiating devices, the data transmission rates over radio frequency channels and the area capacity of mobile traffic, are discussed. For quantitative analysis of these processes, a practical method of worst-case estimation of electromagnetic background level generated by these systems has been developed, verified using the results of numerous measurements of the electromagnetic background in various countries, and described in this paper. This technique is based on the use of the integrated system characteristics of wireless information services and makes it possible to justify the necessary system, technical and managerial solutions aimed at ensuring the necessary level of electromagnetic ecology of populous areas and electromagnetic safety of people in conditions of rapid advancement of 4G/5G/6G systems without affecting the quality of informational support of the population and information technologies in economy, education, healthcare and other sectors.

The article considers examples of ultra-long propagation of UHF radio waves in mobile cellular communication systems. The phenomena are mainly observed in the Astrakhan region in the spring-summer period (May-June) and are presumably associated with sharp seasonal changes of air temperature followed by rains. The effect of temperature inversion results in changing the refraction index in the surface layer and, as a result, in changing the wave direction as the effect of superrefraction in the surface atmospheric layer. The properties of radio waves in their propagation in the land and sea-water surface waveguide are investigated. The values of the heights of land and sea-water surface tropospheric waveguides for cellular communication systems of different ranges are obtained. The features of existing of tropospheric land and sea-water surface tropospheric waveguides are described. The need to use their properties in the mobile communication systems design is stated.
