Backhauling in TV White Spaces Using LTE-U

Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Associate Director, Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB).

ABSTRACT:
The penetration of wireless broadband services in remote areas has primarily been limited due to the lack of economic incentives that service providers encounter in sparsely populated areas. Besides, wireless backhaul links like satellite and microwave are either expensive or require strict line of sight communication making them unattractive. TV white space channels with their desirable radio propagation characteristics can provide an excellent alternative for engineering backhaul networks in areas that lack abundant infrastructure. Specifically, TV white space channels can provide ``free wireless backhaul pipes” to transport aggregated traffic from broadband sources to fiber access points. In this talk, I'll discuss the feasibility of multi-hop wireless backhaul in the available noncontiguous white space channels by using LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) transmissions between fixed backhaul towers. Specifically, we consider scheduling and routing strategies to maximize the minimum rate across broadband towers in the network. Depending on the population density and traffic demands of the location under consideration, we discuss the suitable choice of cell size for the backhaul network. Using the example of available TV white space channels in Wichita, Kansas (a small city located in central USA), we provide illustrative numerical examples for designing such wireless backhaul.
BIOGRAPHY:
Narayan B. Mandayam is a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University where he also serves as Associate Director of the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB). He received the B.Tech (Hons.) degree in 1989 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1991 and 1994 from Rice University, all in electrical engineering. Dr. Mandayam’s research interests are in various aspects of wireless data transmission with emphasis on techniques for cognitive radio networks including their implications for spectrum policy. Using constructs from game theory, communications and networking, his work focusses on radio resource management as well as signal processing for enabling wireless technologies to support various applications. His recent interests also include modeling and analysis of trustworthy knowledge creation on the internet.
Dr. Mandayam is a co-recipient of the 2015 IEEE Communications Society Advances in Communications Award for his seminal work on power control and pricing, the 2014 IEEE Donald G. Fink Award for his IEEE Proceedings paper titled “Frontiers of Wireless and Mobile Communications” and the 2009 Fred W. Ellersick Prize from the IEEE Communications Society for his work on dynamic spectrum access models and spectrum policy. He is also a recipient of the Peter D. Cherasia Faculty Scholar Award from Rutgers University (2010), the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (1998) and the Institute Silver Medal from the Indian Institute of Technology (1989). He is a coauthor of the books: Principles of Cognitive Radio (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and Wireless Networks: Multiuser Detection in Cross-Layer Design (Springer, 2004). He has served as an Editor for the journals IEEE Communication Letters and IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. He has also served as a guest editor of the IEEE JSAC Special Issues on Adaptive, Spectrum Agile and Cognitive Radio Networks (2007) and Game Theory in Communication Systems (2008). He is a Fellow of the IEEE and currently serves as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE.
