IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 features a series of industry demonstrations showcasing new and exciting technology featured in the exhibition area and at the dedicated demonstrations stations.
Demonstrations will be available during the opening reception on Sunday night and on Monday-Wednesday of the conference (Dec. 7-9, 2015).
Join Qualcomm in their booth for live demonstrations of 5G, LAA, LTE Unlicensed, Small Cells and LTE Direct
Two versions of such LTE technology that are under discussion are LTE-unlicensed (LTE-U) which is a proprietary standard being considered by operators, and LTE-LAA (License Assisted Access) which is being developed as part of 3GPP standards. The co-existence algorithm implemented for this demonstration is periodic transmission (as defined by the LTE-U forum) on an unlicensed band with variable on/off time to ensure fair use of unlicensed spectrum.
The demo will show adaptation of the coexistence algorithm (on/off period) to varying Wi-Fi AP transmissions to show fair use of unlicensed band, as well as minimal impact on latency sensitive traffic (voice/video) for transmissions scheduled by Wi-Fi AP to associated Wi-Fi STA/clients.

NI’s SDR platform is the most appropriate solution to prove the practical verification of proposed multi-node wireless networks. In this specific demonstration we show the capabilities of combining the NS3 LTE network simulator with the NI LabVIEW PXI / USRP platform to enable real-time prototyping for LTE-Advanced based 5G software defined networks. We will show how the proposed concept can be used for prototyping several important transmission scenarios in LTE-A networks under real wireless channel environment using NI hardware components acting as eNBs and UEs. The challenges we address is how to overcome the increasing complexity of all transmission layers not just an algorithmic level but also rapid prototyping exercise of new advanced techniques used in 5G networks. Furthermore, we will give insight about how the NI LabVIEW graphical system design software is able to address the challenges by providing a common development environment for all the heterogeneous elements in the NI SDR system (i.e., the GPP, RTOS, FPGA, converters and RF components), with tight hardware/software integration and a good abstraction layer.
In order to understand the practical challenges and design tradeoffs of realizing such a complex system, prototyping is essential. We will demonstrate a “RF to bits” real-time 2x2 MIMO radio link operating at E-band that supports 2 GHz bandwidth and achieves up to 10.2 Gbps real-time throughput.
It is the first-ever software-defined prototyping platform, which is open and fully modifiable for designing and testing a real-time bi-directional, over-the-air mmWave communication system. The system is fully programmed by LabVIEW. The RF front end of the transceiver supports a carrier frequency between 71-76 GHz with 2 GHz real-time bandwidth. The base-band processing unit consists of FPGA modules and Intel cores running a real time OS. In this demonstration, we will provide an overview of the software architecture, real time signal process algorithms and data exchange across modules. We will also show how the modular software architecture and the signal processing design enable us to switch between SISO and different modes of MIMO system configuration. We will discuss the concept of Wide Data Paths (WDP) signal processing, which allows us to achieve very high throughput and low latency signal processing.

Objectives of the demonstration:
Key features:
A fundamental piece to address this challenge is the design of a novel mobile network architecture that provides the necessary flexibility to offer new services in an efficient way and inherently can share or distribute infrastructure resources dynamically, such that operators can increase their revenue through the new services, while leveraging the efficiency of the architecture to do so in a cost-effective way.
Current mobile networks are not well suited to address the above challenge. In 4G mobile networks, large effort was made in making the air interface fully adaptive to changing radio conditions, but lack similar functionality to optimize the network side. Eventually, while current architectures have been very successful in the last few years, they do not provide the required flexibility to cope with the service and traffic diversity required by 5G mobile networks as well as the current trends in terms of topologies.
Such trends (in terms of traffic and topologies) make networks increasingly heterogeneous and require tailored solutions to adapt to each specific scenario and service in an efficient way. The central goal of this demo is to present the ongoing demos activities within the 5GPPP initiatives in Europe related to mobile network architecture building blocks for the 5G era.
Sub-Nyquist Cognitive Radar System: Pulse Doppler radars measure both the targets distance to the transceiver and their radial velocity, through estimation of the time delays and Doppler frequencies, respectively. This digital processing is traditionally performed on samples of the received signal at its Nyquist rate, which can be prohibitively high. Overcoming the rate bottleneck, we propose a sub-Nyquist sampling radar prototype. Moreover, we allow for a reduced time-on-target by transmitting non-uniformly spaced pulses. Last, we pave the way to sub-Nyquist cognitive radar by considering transmitted and received pulses with dynamic support composed of several narrow bands.
A Sub-Nyquist UWB Communication System:We introduce a hardware implementation and demo of a sub-Nyquist Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication system. We employ compressed sensing (CS) techniques in order to exploit the sparse nature of the channel impulse response. The system operates in two phases: rst the channel impulse response is estimated using foldable sampling, followed by data detection of the information. We use the Xampling framework to reduce the sampling rate at the analog to digital converter to 1/10 of the transmitted signal Nyquist rate, during both channel estimation phase and data detection.
