DB-LBT: Deterministic Backoff with Listen Before Talk for Wi-Fi/NR-U Coexistence in Shared Bands

The legacy approach to solve coexistence problems between multiple wireless networks operating in the same frequency bands is through network planning. However, this approach is often unfeasible in unlicensed (shared) bands, where different network …

Using self-deferral to achieve fairness between Wi-Fi and NR-U in downlink and uplink scenarios

Wireless networks operating in unlicensed bands generally use one of two channel access paradigms: random access (e.g., Wi-Fi) or scheduled access (e.g., LTE License Assisted Access, LTE LAA and New Radio-Unlicensed, NR-U). The coexistence between …

No Reservations Required: Achieving Fairness between Wi-Fi and NR-U with Self-Deferral Only

Wireless technologies coexisting in unlicensed bands should receive a fair share of the available channel resources, even when they use different access methods. We consider the problem of coexistence between Wi-Fi and New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) …

Downlink channel access performance of NR-U: Impact of numerology and mini-slots on coexistence with Wi-Fi in the 5 GHz band

Coexistence between cellular systems and Wi-Fi gained the attention of the research community when LTE License Assisted Access (LAA) entered the unlicensed band. The recent introduction of NR-U as part of 5G introduces new coexistence opportunities …

Impact of LTE's Periodic Interference on Heterogeneous Wi-Fi Transmissions

The problem of Wi-Fi and LTE coexistence has been significantly debated in the last years with the emergence of LTE extensions enabling the utilization of unlicensed spectrum for carrier aggregation. Rather than focusing on the problem of resource …
