3 IEEE [32] Next Generation Mobile Communications Ecosystem in UTRA is a study item in TR 25.876 under 3GPP. The 3GPP TR 25.876 [33] captures the working assumptions and evaluation criteria of the different techniques being considered for MIMO. The purpose of this work item is to improve system capacity and spectral efficiency by increasing the data throughput in the downlink within the existing 5MHz carrier. This will be achieved by means of deploying multiple antennas at both User Equipment and Node-B sides. 10.9.4 Interference Cancellation CDMA is the inherent access scheme of all the 3G systems including cdma2000/EV-DO, WCDMA/HSPA and TD-SCDMA and we all know that the capacity in the CDMA-based systems is interference limited. To minimize the impacts of interference, operators around the world are evaluating a handful of interference cancellation techniques. The technique that is used to minimize the impact of the pilot channel is sometimes referred to as PIC (Pilot Interference Cancellation) while the one that reduces the impact of voice and data traffic is called TIC (Traffic Interference Cancellation). We can easily envision that TIC is much harder to implement than PIC but if it gets implemented in the correct manner it could have a dramatic impact on reducing interference (and increasing capacity). There is another interference cancellation scheme [34] that cancels interference from both pilot and traffic called ICT (Interference Cancellation Technique) for cdma2000 systems. ICT is explored in the downlink since CDMA based commercial 3G systems are downlink limited. ICT adapts at the symbol rate, or the rate at which the bits are encoded/decoded as compared to Equalizers which adapt at the Doppler rate (low rate). Thus, ICT is better than Equalizers since it could adapt to the rapid changes in the characteristics of the radio link. Nevertheless ICT requires integration into the baseband chipsets which requires a new spin of the chipset. Thus, there seems to be a long lead time in the mass introduction of
