A central design decision in the architecture of upcoming LTE cellular networks is to exploit multi-user diversity by means of (dynamic) OFDMA resource allocation. Over the last decade such systems have been extensively investigated primarily regarding low-complex algorithms to be employed for instantaneous resource allocation. While we have been successfull in reducing the algorithmic complexity of such algorithms significantly, we still lack good performance models for OFDMA systems. Such models are required for admission control for example and should be able to predict system performance only depending on the average channel-state information between the base stations and multiple receivers. In this talk we introduce a suitable performance model based on order-statistics and study its characteristics. In particular, we extend it to OFDMA systems with dynamic power allocation as well as to interference-limited scenarios with several surprising features. Finally, we comment on the use of such models for dynamic interference coordination in upcoming LTE networks.

Workshop on White Space Technologies – 12 de Dezembro Instituto de Telecomunicações - Aveiro
A Tecnologia “White Spaces Technologies” está a impor novos desenvolvimentos na tecnologia sem fios/microondas emergente que podem conduzir e alterar a forma como olhamos para as comunicações via rádio, principalmente da telefonia móvel. Algumas destas tecnologias emergentes incluem software definido pelo rádio, localização de rádio cognitiva para a optimização do caminho da comunicação rádio, mas também emergentes motores de localização interiores e exteriores, bem como técnicas optimizadas para dispositivos de baixo custo e consumo. Este workshop dará uma percepção do que é a Tecnologia “White Spaces Technologies” e de como medir e identificar oportunidades de negócio dentro desta nova área de comunicações sem fios. A participação neste workshop é gratuita, no entanto gostaríamos de salientar que o número de lugares é limitado pelo que aconselhamos que se inscreva o mais breve possível.
