Abstract

The BuNGee FP7 research project is looking at achieving, in a cost efficient way, throughput densities substantially higher than available with today's systems. Throughput levels of at least 1 Gb/sec/km2 are targeted. The project addresses this goal by a combination of techniques: use of below-rooftop access base stations and a unique feeding architecture using a combination of licensed in-band spectrum and out-of-band license exempt spectrum. Very high capacity feeding hubs with high-order spatial reuse are created using multi-beam antennas and advanced MIMO techniques, as well as use of millimeter wave radio links. Cognitive/docitive techniques were developed for self-organization and optimized resource utilization in the radio and feeding networks. We provide an overview of the techniques developed within the BuNGee project.
