Abstract

Applicable scenarios for IDC in 3GPP [5]
• Coexistence interference scenarios – LTE coexisting with WiFi – LTE coexisting with Bluetooth– LTE coexisting with GNSS
• Summary of in-device coexistence interference scenarios– Case 1: LTE Band 40 radio Tx causing interference to ISM radio Rx;– Case 2: ISM radio Tx causing interference to LTE Band 40 radio Rx;– Case 3: LTE Band 7 radio Tx causing interference to ISM radio Rx;– Case 4: LTE Band 7/13/14 radio Tx causing interference to GNSS radio Rx.

Usage scenarios
• LTE + WiFi portable router– In this scenario, LTE is considered as a backhaul link to access the
Internet, and the connectivity is shared by other local users using WiFi. The WiFi transceiver is operated as an AP and has full control on frequency channel and transmitting power. it may be possible to avoid interference to/from WiFi by moving the WiFi signal away from the LTE band. If this is not sufficient, time domain solutions are applicable:
– The coexistence interference case 1-3 may happen in this usage scenario.

Usage scenarios
• LTE + WiFi offload– In this scenario, an LTE UE can also connect to WiFi to offload traffic
from LTE and the WiFi transceiver of the UE operates as a terminal (not AP) in infrastructure mode. The WiFi radio has to keep listening to the beacon signal transmitted from WiFi AP for maintaining connection.
– The coexistence interference case 1-3 may happen.

Other Usage scenarios – Non WLAN related
• LTE + BT earphone (VoIP service)– The voice traffic transmitted by BT is actually from/to LTE, where the
traffic activities between LTE and BT will be very similar because of the end-to-end latency requirement.
– The coexistence interference case 1-3 may happen in this usage scenario.• LTE + BT earphone (Multimedia service)
– Multimedia (e.g. HD video) is downloaded by LTE and audio is routed to a BT headset.
– The coexistence interference case 1-3 may happen in this usage scenario.• LTE + GNSS Receiver
– This usage scenario considers that the LTE UE is also equipped with the GNSS (e.g. GPS) receiver to support location services.
– In this scenario, it can be expected that LTE UL transmissions cause interference to the GNSS receiver.
– The coexistence interference case 4 may happen in this usage scenario.

Solutions agreed in 3GPP• FDM solution
– The UE will indicate which LTE frequencies are unusable due to in-device coexistence.• TDM solutions based on DRX
– The UE provides the eNB with a desired Discontinuous Reception (DRX) pattern, e.g. LTE ON/OFF pattern.
– It is up to the eNB to decide and signal the final DRX configuration to the UE based on UE suggested TDM pattern and other possible criteria e.g. traffic type.
– DRX period provides time periods for WLAN to operate without in-device interference• Autonomous denial solutions
– UE can autonomously deny LTE UL transmission due to some critical short-term event receptions of ISM side, e.g. some events during WLAN connection-setup or other important signalling.
– UE can also autonomously deny ISM transmissions to ensure successful reception of important LTE signalling in order to ensure connectivity with the eNB, e.g. system information, paging, synchronization signal, critical dedicated signalling, etc.

Necessity to consider IDC from WiFi point of view
• In China, 2500-2690MHz will be used for TDD – One of the problem mentioned by CMCC in WNG presentation “11-13-0343r0” is
that “Interference from other systems, such as BT, Microwave, and other mobile RATs (such as TD-LTE).”
• IDC feature defined in 3GPP is optional. – Some LTE terminals may even not have this feature.
• IDC feature defined in 3GPP cannot optimize WiFi performance1. 3GPP can’t control WiFi’s behaviour and can’t guarantee that the device’s WiFi
module can follow the TDM pattern decided by LTE eNB.
2. Even if the device’s WiFi module can follow the TDM pattern, the peer WiFi device communicating with the device’s WiFi module is not aware the TDM pattern. The peer WiFi device may still tx/rx with the device’s WiFi module during LTE ON period, which will degrade WiFi performance due to high in-device interference.
• So we may need to consider how to solve the IDC interference from WiFi side to ensure WiFi performance and consider it as part of TGmc.

Proposed method
• The WiFi module of the device enduring In-Device Coexistence Interference should indicate/covert the TDM pattern from LTE to its WiFi peer(s).
• For example:– If the device operates as a LTE UE and as a WLAN AP:
• The AP will indicate the converted TDM pattern fitting WiFi timeline which is calculated from LTE TDM pattern in Beacon frame, probe response frame, (re)association response frame or new Action frame to STAs.
– If the device operates as a LTE UE and as a WLAN non-AP STA:• The non-AP STA will indicate the converted TDM pattern fitting WiFi timeline which is calculated from
LTE TDM pattern in (re)association request frame or new Action frame to AP.
