Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電信工程學研究所 === 105 === LTE is a popular radio access technology (RAT) all around the world, but it is restricted by the spectrum resource. Therefore, it needs to find more available spectrum to transmit data. Hence, LTE in unlicensed band has been discussed in recent years. According to 3GPP, Category 4 Listen-Before-Talk mechanism has been decided. There are lots of works which only focus on system simulation, but less of them concern about analytical model. In this thesis, we probe into the measure of how to build an analytical model to evaluate the performance of LAA . Markov model has been used widely to evaluate the performance of WiFi system. Hence, we make use of Markov model to help us to evaluate the performance of LAA. In addition, the proposed LAA Markov model can support to evaluate di↵erent priority classes. Based on the evaluation result of this thesis, in the low trac, the di↵erence of performance between proposed LAA model and Cisco proposed model is large. However, as the increasing load of the trac, the di↵erence of performance between them is getting closer. Moreover, we observe that Cat. 4 LBT mechanism can achieve better coexistence than Cisco proposed mechanism since Cat. 4 LBT has an additional duration which is called Initial Clear Channel Assessment (ICCA). The final evaluation result shows a single station with mutiple prioirty classes can avoid collisions e↵ectively since higher priority always wins out in the competition with lower priroirty class within a single station.
