Experimental Assessment of New Generation Radio Networks Based on Layered Division Multiplexing

Despite the recent advances in broadband penetration and accessibility, broadcasting networks continue to be most efficient way for delivering media content large areas independently of user density. Nevertheless, a convergence services into is foreseen. In this context, Layered Division Multiplexing (LDM) allows joint provision unicast, multicast, broadcast mobile cells infrastructure. success LDM infrastructure, its practical application Long Term Evolution providing Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (LTE eMBMS) 5G-MBMS more difficult. paper, we experimentally quantify cell-interference impact on network performance Quality Service. Our experiments reveal that inter-cell interference margin LTE eMBMS about 3 dB higher compared traditional networks. If layered architecture incorporated would cause reduction approximately 19% Enhanced Layer (Lower Layer) coverage.
