DESCRIPTION:Dr Sundeep Rangan\, Qualcomm Technologies\nManaging interferen
 ce between users is the central challenge of multiuser wireless systems. W
 hile next-generation cellular standards offer enormous potential in improv
 ed capacity and services\, several features in these systems will make int
 erference management particularly challenging. Future cellular deployments
  are likely to involve mixtures of large-area macro cells along with unpla
 nned\, small-area pico and femto cells\, relays\, and other network elemen
 ts. Such heterogeneous and unplanned networks can create adverse interfere
 nce conditions that require intelligent interference management. In additi
 on\, as networks are designed to support low-latency\, bursty traffic\, fa
 st adaption will be increasingly needed in any viable interference managem
 ent strategy. In this talk\, I will review some of the methods being consi
 dered in commercial cellular systems with an emphasis on their implication
 s for scheduling algorithms and dynamic resource allocation. From a theore
 tical perspective\, mitigating interference via scheduling can be seen as 
 a complex\, distributed optimization problem. I will present some possible
  strategies to address this problem. I will also discuss the implications 
 of interference cancellation. Increased computational power is enabling ad
 vanced receiver algorithms at the mobile such as successive interference c
 ancellation (SIC). I will argue that the possibility of SIC-enabled mobile
  devices suggests that we think of resource allocation in fundamentally ne
 w ways. In particular\, I will present a new strategy based on "rate shapi
 ng" as opposed to dynamic orthogonalization. I will also argue that interf
 erence cancellation offers new scalable methods of sharing spectrum betwee
 n macro cellular systems and short-range local communication.
