MiWEBA News Release (Dec. 2014)
European research project MiWEBA releases a new measurement-based channel model for millimeter-wave outdoor access and backhaul paving the way towards 5G systems
The MiWEBA project (“Millimetre-Wave Evolution for Backhaul and Access”), a research cooperation between EU (FP7) and Japan (MIC) conducts substantial research and development for mm-wave overlay heterogeneous networks in which millimeter-wave ultra-broadband base stations are introduced and embedded into the cellular eco-system. The consortium consists of four industry partners and five research organizations from Germany, France, Italy and Japan. Previously unused millimeter-wave spectrum (30-300 GHz) is currently seen as cornerstone of upcoming 5G systems to give mobile radio networks access to great quantities of new spectrum in the 5G era, thereby enabling ultra-high capacities and data rates. MiWEBA is pioneering outdoor millimeter-wave mobile access with the concept of Control and User plane splitting. MiWEBA is one of the first projects working actively on the use of C-RAN, front haul and CPRI compression to set up LTE-A macro cells and an overlay of ultra-high dense millimeter-wave small cells as key components for 5G systems.
MiWEBA recently released a new measurement based quasi-deterministic channel model for millimeter-wave outdoor access and backhaul as foundation for the evaluation of system performance and system design. Based on realistic outdoor field measurements (millions of channel snapshots), conducted at 60 GHz by HHI and Intel, a model was developed which is based on geometry and therefore can be configured to any site specific parameters accordingly. Further outdoor millimeter wave multi-cluster model extensions for hot spots are being explored by Orange. The channel model supports high directional modular antenna array for the first time. The model is publicly available and will be introduced to leading stakeholders working on 5G systems.
“We are excited about the potential for millimeter-wave technology to help serve the growing demand for wireless bandwidth and to support to cutting-edge research to explore millimeter-wave channels”
Asha Keddy, Vice President Intel Mobile and Communications Group and General Manager of Standards and Advanced Technology
“Mm-waves are a promising technology for 5G, to unlock new spectrum after we will have exploited all the spectrum opportunities in the bands below 6 GHz. The first step for being able to assess the potential of this technology is the availability of channel models in the considered bands, hence the importance of the channel modelling work in MiWEBA.”

Detailed introduction
Due to the popularisation of smart phones and tablets in recent years, the traffic of data on conventional networks is predicted to be increased by 1000 times in the next 10 years. To face the severe issue of system capacity shortage due to the increasing data traffic in cellular networks, standardisation on heterogeneous networks with overlay deployment of low-power base stations in the service area of conventional ones is being done by the 3GPP – an international standardisation body of cellular networks. On the other hand, despite ultra-high-speed systems employing mm-wave such as WiGig and 802.11ad have been standardized, they are not connected to the cellular networks, and their applications are still restricted to only performing data transfer between AV equipment or working as a bridge for Internet connection across buildings.
This project conducts research and development of mm-wave overlay heterogeneous network (HetNet) in which mm-wave ultra-broadband base stations employing recent state-of-art technologies of mm-wave devices are introduced and integrated into conventional cellular networks. Through system design, international standardisation, and validation experiments of the mm-wave overlay HetNet, the project aims to extend the network capacity by 1000 times to solve the capacity limitation issue at reasonable cost and without loss of convenience to users. The mm-wave overlay HetNet consists of the backhaul/fronthaul connecting mm-wave ultra-broadband base stations with the cellular network, an access link integrating both conventional cellular access link such as LTE and the novel mm-wave link, and a central controller which is able to realise seamless UE handover as well as dynamically control communication resources of low-power base stations. In this project, beside carefully designing the aforementioned systems and clarifying their performances through numerical simulations, we prospect to standardising the front haul at the international standardisation body called ETSI ORI, and the access link at the 3GPP. Particularly for the access link, we will be the first one in the world to introduce the data/control separated access scheme performed on the cellular link to overcome the restricted coverage problem of mm-wave link. Furthermore, by implementing prototype hardware compliant to our formulated international standard and conducting validation experiments, we will verify the performances of the mm-wave overlay HetNet in real environment to prove its effectiveness.

Introduction

In order to meet the capacity requirements of future cellular networks in the long term, it is targeted to establish an overlay of mm-wave cells on top of the current cellular network. This approach involves the two above-mentioned methods to increase network capacity promising the highest gains: network densification and spectrum extension. In contrast to current approaches, that aim for increasing the capacity by adding smaller cells operating in the same frequency band and hence run into interference limitations, no interference is induced by the mm-wave overlay. Furthermore, a huge frequency bandwidth can be exploited, globally harmonised over more than 6 GHz spectrum.
The successful adoption of mm-wave technology as a versatile wireless transmission option will be advocated by MiWEBA providing high speed access using mm-wave nano-cells on the one hand and using licence free mm-wave links for backhaul to small cells or as wireless front haul extensions in e.g. C-RAN architectures on the other hand. Once, sufficient market penetration with terminals supporting mm-wave technology is reached, direct link type device-to-device communication will enable direct user data exchange when in close vicinity.
Research Goals in MiWEBA
Millimetre-wave Radio Access Links
The MiWEBA system concept rationale is to overcome the current limitations by an integrated holistic approach using mm-wave technology. A fundamental ingredient is the separation of control and user-plane. The control plane (C-plane) will be operated at the regular cellular frequencies e.g. between 700 MHz and 2.7 GHz and the data link layers (u-plane) of the cellular network and the millimetre-wave band as a high capacity deployment overlay. In this overlay the wide coverage area of the c-plane allows to track user links and exchange information on channel state and link quality and therefore to enable seamless handover between the robust low and moderate data rate cellular band and the high data rate mm-wave band.
Wireless Backhaul and Fronthaul links
The basic difference between backhaul and front haul links is the position of the logical split in the network architecture. While the backhaul link usually transports the pure user data (e.g. IP packets) the front haul link carries data often transports already encoded and preprocessed digital signals prepared for the access link. As a consequence this leads to different requirements on the latency, robustness and bandwidth that these links have to provide.
A typical macro and small cell deployment challenge is the provisioning of cost efficient fixed line type connectivity between base band units (BBU) and remote radio units (RRU) if fiber is either not deployed or not available at certain locations, setting an urging need for wireless connections supporting carrier grade connectivity between BBU and RRU in the C-RAN architecture. More specifically, reliability, latency, synchronisation jitter, load adaptive wireless front haul capacity, daisy chaining and quasi zero installation and maintenance effort are a few out of many key requirements for such wireless links. In the context of this project we will focus on mm-wave technology to fulfil these C-RAN and HetNet specific requirements. The mm-wave wireless front- and backhaul links are required to support point-to-point (P2P) and point-to-multipoint (P2MP) topologies and to be set-up and operated in a self-organised and self-optimised manner. Furthermore the density of such mm-wave front- and backhaul links might be very high at certain locations requiring advanced link coordination schemes to satisfy carrier grade QoS.
Access Link Optimization
Though only short distances are to be bridged to the users within a mm-wave cell, suitable techniques have to be used to overcome the high path loss. A much-discussed approach is to establish highly directional adaptive links and track them by beam steering techniques. This guarantees a sufficient signal level at the receiver while reducing potential interference between neighbouring nano-cells. Consequently, the available millimetre-wave band can be used efficiently and a joint signal processing is not required. However, new challenges arise concerning the beam tracking, decentralised handover strategies (“intelligent edge”) and the medium access control (MAC).
Work packages

WP1: Scenarios, Use cases, Business Models
The first work package is of a more general technical nature. Scenarios and use cases are defined according to the project vision and serve as input to the technical work packages 2 through 5. Furthermore business models for the final phase of the project, exploitation, are formulated.
WP2: Design of front- & backhaul links
The front- and backhaul links are inner parts of the mobile radio networks that are invisible to the end user. Within this WP, a replacement for these links using mm-wave or terahertz technology and the integration into the network structure is researched.
WP3: Design of access links
The access link is the connection between the user device and the network. This work package consists of the redesign of these links with the new frequency bands.
WP4: Radio Resource Management
The introduction of the overlay nano-cells leads to a new heterogeneous network structure. The radio resource management has to be adapted to the new degree of freedom introduced with the overlay.
WP5: Propagation & Antennas
The knowledge on outdoor channels in the new frequency bands utilised by MiWEBA is nowhere near that of the well-established frequency bands. Within this work package, these channels will be thoroughly characterised and appropriate steerable high gain antennas will be developed. The channel model will also serve as input to the previous three work packages 2 through 4.
WP6: Proof of concept, Integration
The outputs of the work packages 2 to 5 will be combined within this work package to provide a proof of concept in respect to the scenarios and use models defined in the first WP.
WP7: Dissemination & Exploitation
This work package concentrates on the dissemination and exploitation of the project results.

The International Workshop on Cloud Cooperated Heterogeneous Networks organized by the ICT EU-Japan MiWEBA Steering Committee and held in conjunction with IEICE SR Technical Committee 2013 October Conference, 23 – 25 October, 2013, Osaka, Japan is now cordially inviting your participation.
We will have thirteen interesting invited talks by specialists from both academic institutes and industrial companies, following by a panel discussion on the latest research topic of Cloud Cooperated Heterogeneous Networks. Especially, we will focus on the aspect of efficient deployment of future heterogeneous networks where wideband mm-wave small cells are introduced inside the coverage of conventional micro-wave marcocell. A banquet dinner following the workshop will be organized for both the speakers and the workshop participants.
Scope
Due to explosion of smart phones and tablets, mobile data traffic increases exponentially which pushes evolution of the current cellular networks. The increasing rate of the traffic is about 2-fold per year. It indicates that at least 1,000 times system rate improvement is needed to accommodate increased traffic in 10 years. A promising approach to solving this problem is the novel cellular architecture of cloud cooperated HetNet with heterogeneous deployment of base stations connected to C-RAN for enabling cooperated transmission. Especially, tremendous capacity enhancement can be realized through introducing ultra wideband mm-wave small cells inside the coverage of conventional micro-wave cells owing to advancement of mm-wave technologies nowadays. The main objective of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers for spreading and sharing the latest research results and discussing about the future of cloud cooperated cellular networks embedded with ultra wideband mm-wave small cells.
