Description
Summary:The increasing demand for higher data rates has accelerated research on the next generation of mobile cellular networks (5G). One of the key factors of 5G is the use of a larger bandwidth allocated in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency spectrum. In particular, one of the candidate bands is the portion of spectrum between 17 and 30 GHz that is currently used by other technologies such as fixed satellite services (FSS) and the cellular network backhaul. In this paper, we analyze the coexistence between mobile services and FSS considering the main characteristics of the mmWave spectrum recently investigated in the literature. Moreover, we present a novel cooperative scheduling algorithm based on a game theoretic framework that exploits the use of analog beamforming at the base stations (BS). Finally, we show that adopting this algorithm ensure that the system meets the regulatory recommendation concerning the interference level at the FSS and at the same time provides a good user spectral efficiency.
